CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market to-day has been very active,
the rates remain exceedingly firm. The re-
iltirements of the public are heavy, and as the
l'evenue collections increase the demand, the res
lotirces of the discount houses show a proportionate
diminution. The brokers are therefore obliged in
several cases to be borrowers themselves of the
Ilithorities, and the rates out of doors are a fraction
above Can official minimum. The Bank of England
18, consequently, the chief resort at the present
and there appears very little hope that tifflirs
I'4ll take a favourable turn till after the termination
° the quarter.

At the Bank yesterday there were no bullion
°Perations of public importance.
In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon
!here was a slight downward movement in several
Instances.

ielegrem, the 3 per cent. French Relates were

llardly any business has been negotiated in the
English Stock Market to-day, and the appearance

4ch depressed. The Funds are more than flatter,machrusols for money being 89}, and for the account
