COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The general discount market exhibits a promising
appearance. Greater facilities are obtainable in the
open market than at the close of lest week, and the
bill brokers are anxious t) secure first class paper
at t per cent, under the Bank of England mini-
mum. Long-dated bills are also in good request by
the discount firms. The rates now range from 81
per cent.

A further sum of £84,000 was taken into the
Bank on Saturday. _ _ _

Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co,'s egents in
Venezuela advise, under date Bth of April, that they

33,193 dols. 96c.; making 42,175 dole. 37c.; and

The accounts frJrn the various manufacturing
districts for the past week have generally been of
a satisfactory character. At Manchester there has
been a good demand for both cloths and yarns for
home use and for the Indian markets, and prices
have sbown increased firmness. In the woollen dis-
tricts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there
has been a more active inquiry for seasonable
goods, while a fair amount of business has bee❑
transacted in the hosiery and lace departments of
Leicester and Nottingham. In the hardware dis-
tricts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhamp
ton the general prosperity of trade is considered
very satisfactory in most departments.
