MONEY

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The transactions in the discount market to-day
have denoted a steadily sustained demand for com-
mercial purposes, and the rates have continued to
show a little more easiness, owing to the large
balances for employment. To secure business
bankers and brokers are more eager to negotiate
good mercantile securities, and competition has en•
abled holders of these descriptions to get them
legotiated on terms a fraction under the official
minimum of 9 per cent.
The failure has been announced of Messrs.
Oe'riche and Co„ merchants, of Mark lane, owing
to losses in cotton, bat the liabilities are not expected
to exceed £50,000.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £225,400, and the exports to £487,200.
The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised an influx of £lO,OOO in bar gold, and a
withdrawal of 30,000 sovereigns for Mauritius.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was no material alteraton,
