AND

COMMEUCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK•

The Money Market continues to be plentifully
supplied with capital, and discounters are evincing
More desire to obtain business at current rates.
The quotations for firstgelass securities show a still
further downward tendency, and transactions have
been reported this morning at 81s per cent. for bills
having only a week to run, while three months'
Paper has been freely taken at Si per cent.
The amount of gold taken to the Bank of England
Yesterday afternoon represented £5,000.
There was no material alteration in the foreign
exchanges yesterday afternoon.
The failure has been reported of Messrs De Wolff,
Schuck, and Co., merchants, of Idol-lane. The
liabilities are not supposed to be large.
The bills of Mr T. W. Bradley, wine merchant,
of Fenchurch•street, have also been returned. The
debts are believed to be considerable.

Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
quoted 64f. 50c. Flat.
The English Stock Market has been rather de-
pressed to-day, but prices have not receded any
further. Last evening continental advices induced
a reaction, and although nothing has since occurred
to impart strength to quotations, values generally
rule steady. Consols for money are 89} I-, and for
the account 891 The New Threes and Reduced

bonus of £2 per share from the insurance fund,
free of income tax.
In the Foreign Market the principal feature has
been a rise in Spanish Passive and Certificates;

Mexican, 26k j ; do. New, 248 25} ; Greek, 214
22 ; and the Confederate Loan, 62 64.
In the Railway Share Market the dealers and
brokers have been principally occupied with the
arrangements for the settlement, and prices in so
anme
instances have shown less firmness. Caledoni
Groat Eastern, and Great Western have each de-
clined 55., and Midland 15s. ; while North Western
have improved £l.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
continued inactive without material change in
prices.

Liverpool Cotton Market—This DAYS

Market opens with a good inquiry. Sales, pro.
bably about 12,000 bales.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3i per mills pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per .£1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Min
that gold is
t price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears
nearly 2-IGths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
k
By advic:s from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mar
and the short exchange on London is 13.5. per .£1 sterling,
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
7-lotha per cent. dearer in Loudon than in hamburg,
