lONEY MARKET!

AND

COMMEItCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The excess of the sapply of capital in the open
market over the demand for money has induced the
brokers still further to lower their rates for accom-
modation. Notwithstanding this reduction, how■
ever, the public seem indisposed to negotiate their
bills when a few days hence further concessions may
be granted. The quotations for first class bills are
per cent.
The return issued by the Bank of England shows
very satisfactory alterations. The discount business
of the establishment has been reduced, and a conse-
quent fading off is exhibited in the other securities,
lchile th© reserves of notes end bullion have been
largely increased. Annexed are the particulars

The Council of the Bank of France have been
ene.bled this week to show every favourable balance
eheet. The commercial bills representing the dis-
count business of the establishment have been
reduced by £2.53,300, the advances by £20,000, the
Bank no:es in circulation by £520,000, and the
Current accounts by £364,400, while an addition
bas been made of £146,700 to the bullion, and of
£136,000 to the Treasury balances.
Tnere were no bullion operations at the Bank
yesterday.
During the last few days there has been rather
More activity in the markets for foreign and colo-
nial produce. Sugars have been dealt in to some
extent at enhanced rates. Coffee has been in fair
demand at steady prices, but the public sales of tea
have proceeded without animation at about previous
quotations. In the Tallow Market business has
been rather dull for both present and forward
delivery.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 450.
Heavy.
The market for English Stocks has exhibited
symptoms of weakness, and a fall in the Funds of
per cent. has ensued. Hardly any business has
bzen in progress today, and the decline in prices
is attributable rather to this than to any other cir-
cumstance. Console are 89 it for money, and 891
for the account.

General heaviness has prevailed in the Foreign
Market, and business is very quiet. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 694 70; do. Consolides, 504 a ;
Mexican, 28a 4 ; Greek, 231 4; Spanish Passive,
301 Y ; do. Certificates, 124 ; Portuguese, 471 ;
Russian, 8614; and the Confederate Loan, 79 80.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been restricted, and prices have shown increased
reduct on. South Eastern have declined Great
Northern A Stock, and Metropolitan, each 10s.,
and Great Western and Midland, each ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continue inactive
at:former quotations.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue dull
without material alterations as regards prices.
