NONEY MARKET

AND

COMMZUCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the general discount market a strong demand
for monetary accommodation is stilt experienced.
The arrangement of the fortnightly accounts in
railway shares and foreign bonds always prodaces
a large number of enquiries for money, and besides
this there is the usual settlements to be made for
the end of the month, and thus are the rates for even
the best bills very firmly maintained, 7 per cent, as
at the Bank of England, being the minimum quos
tation.
The weekly return, published yesterday evening
by the Bank of England authorities, presents
changes of a more favourable character than could
have been expected from the recent outflow of bul-
lion and the increased value of money. Subjoined
is our usual analysis.

expedient.
Daring Ilia last few days there has been very
little auimation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. Sugars have been in limited re-
quest, but at steady rates. Coffee has been dealt in
to a fair extent, at about previous quotations, while
the transactions in tea have been limited conse-
quent upon the near approach of the public sales.
In rice, fruit, and spices there has been no material
change as regards values, while tallow has con-
tinned exceedingly inactive, and prices have tended
downwards for both present and future delivery.

The official returns relating tothe trade
three and
navigation of the United Kingdom for the
months ending 31st March, have just been published,
from which it appears that the total decreased value
of the exports for that period have been £36,667,381
against £27,561,204 in the like period of the
previous year, showing an increase of £9,106,177.
The increase has been most perceptible on beer and
ale, coals and calm, cotton yarn, cotton manufactures,
earthenware, haberdashery, and millinery, linen
yarn, linen manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool,
woollen manufactures, and woollen and worsted
yarn. The imprtations of the principal articles
were larger during the three months as respects
raw cotton, flax, jute, paper, p but there
rovisions, quick-
silver, tallow, sour, tobacco, and wine ;
was a diminution in guano, hops, petroleum, raw
silk, sheep and lambs' wool, cocoa, coffee, wheat,
Pepper, unrefined, sugar, and tea.
The shipping accounts exhibit a
the-foredcrease in the
amount of tonnage employed in gn trade
of the United Kingdom for the three months
an s of
55,720 tons for the entries inwards, but there i
increase of 138,950 tons for the clearances out-

wards.
Ia the coasting trade for the like period, 152,471
tons more were employed than in the correspond-
and
ing term of 1863 for the entries inwards,
121,400 tons for the clearances outwards.
The Stock Exchange Markets present a dull and
depressed eppearance. The speculative dealings
are very few, in fact the public seem
seto have had
d
almost a surfeit of them, and as the ttlement
foreign and railway securities occupies a great deal
of attention, the business negotiated
a is very limite d
d.
The increased value of money has lso cause an
adverse influence, and Consola remain at the loss
