ONEY MARKET

AND

COMECZILCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The excess of the sapply of capital in the open
flarket over the demand for money has induced the
brokers still further to lower their rates for accom—
reodation. 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
721, 6 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 failing off is exhibited in the other securities,
While the reserves of notes and bullion have been
largely increased. Annexed are the particulars :--

The Council of the Bank of France have been
enabled this week to show a very favourable balance
sheet. The commercial bills representing the dis-
count business of the establishment have been
reduced by £253,300, the advances by £20,000, the
Bank noses in circulation by £320,000, and the
current accounts by 1364,400, while an addition
has been made of 1146.700 to tho bullion, and of
£136,000 to the Treesnry balances.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank
yesterday.
Daring 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. Renter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 45c.
Ileavy.

The market for English Stocks has exhibited
symptoms of weakness, and a fall in the Funds of
ir per cent, has ensued. Hardly any business has
bten in progress to-day, and the decline in prices
is attributable rather to this than to any other cir-
cumstance. Consols are 89 I for money, and 89:
for the account.
General heaviness has prevailed in the Foreign
Market, and business is very quiet. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 691 70; do. Consolides, 601
Mexican, 281 I; Greek, 231 Spanish Passive,
301 ; do. Certificates, 12: S ; Portuguese, 477, I;
Russian, 88i i; and the Confederate Loan, 79 80.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been restricted, and prices have shown increased
reduction. South Eastern have declined 1:1, Great
Northern A Stock, and Metropolitan, each 10a.,
and Great Western and Midland, each 53.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continue inactive
at:tormer quotations.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue dull
Without material alterations as rigards prices
Aberaman Iron Works are quoted a 1 prem.;

ment, 1.1- prem.; and Maritime Credit, 11
