MONEY MARKET

AND

COLIMBECLAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The recent failures which followed each other so
quickly have rendered discounters extremely cau-
tious before entering into new engagements. This
prudence, if not carried too far, must have a very
benEficial effect in weeding from the money market
all doubtful paper; and imparting a feeling of ge-
neral confidence. To-day, therefore, although the
number of applicants for monetary assistance has
not been very n amorous, the brokers have shown
their circumspection by not granting too easy faci-
lities to the general public, who are always ready
when the opportunity presents itself to float their
paper upon the market. Under those circumstances,
firms of high commercial standing find no difficulty
in obtaining accommodation upon three months'
bills at 81 and 9 per cent, and bankers' acceptances
of shorter date have also been negotiable at 8
per cent.

A further sum of £37,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank on Saturday.

From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week have been unfavourable. The
high rates current for money having in a great
measure put a stop to speculative transactions in
most kinds of goods. The embarrassment felt in
commercial circles has also caused considerable
caution on the part of manufacturers. At Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield prices, however, have
been steady, with only a moderate inquiry for
winter cloths. At Manchester a considerable
decline has taken place in the value of both cloths
and yarns, and buyers continue to exercise great
reserve. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester
and Nottingham have remained without change of
importance ; while in the hardware districts of Bir■
icingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, business
has been conducted on a much more limited scale
than is ordinarily the case at this season of the year,

Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
quoted 65f. 90c.—fiat.
The Funds are per cent. lower than they were
at the close of business on Saturday. Business is
dull, and the few operations entered into produce a
depressing influence, since they add to the supplies
of stock in the hands of the dealers. The public are not
purchasers to any extent; nor in the present
situation of affairs, and at this season of the
Year, are they likely t o afford the
market any substantial support. Consols for

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday were by no means
extensively supplied with English wheat. For all quali-
ties, however, the trade ruled heavy, and prices declined
Is per quarter. The barley trade was in a sluggish state,
at drooping currencies. Oats were rather cheaper ; and
for beans, peas, and flour, the trade was very inactive.
Advices from New York report but little inquiry for
wheat, flour, and maize for export. On the Continent the
corn trade getiterally is dull.

But moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad amounted to 17,606 quarters of wheat, 5,882 barley,
75,322 oats, 185 rye, 1,900 beans, 2,173 peas, 400 tares,
2,055 linseed, 21,632 oilseeds, 1,200 nalizo,, 225 sundry
seeds, 201 sacks, and 2,825 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were but mo
derate. Nearly the whole of the produce, however, wat.
received in excellent condition. Although factors had or-
ders to purchase wbeat for seed the trade for all qualities
of home-grown produce was in a most inactive state, and
very little progress could be made with sales. At the close
of business only a portion of the supply had been disposed
of, at prices showing a reduction, compared with Monday
last, of is per quarter.

The supply 0 foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably
large. Owing to the large number of cargoes off coast,
and the high rate of money in the discount market, the
trade ruled heavy for all descriptions, and a decline of ls.
per quarter took place in the quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off heavily, and prices
had a downward tendency.

There was a fair supply both of English and foreign
barley on offer. The trade for malting, grinding, and dis-
tilling qualities was very inactive, and the prices realised
were is. per quarter lower than on Monday last.
The malt trade was dull, and a decline of is per guar-
tool; place in prices.

The supply both of English and foreign °a's on sale
was very large. There was decidedly less activity in the
demsnd for nearly all descriptions. However, a fair
amount of business was transacted, chiefly et a decline in
prices of 61 per quarter.

In the trade for beans there was lesss firmness. New
qullities, however, supported previous rates, but old parcels
declined in value ls. per quarter•
