MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The general discount market is still disturbed by
the expectation of dearer money. Many parties
limit the time till to•morrow, when the usual weekly
Court of the Bank of England Directors takes
place. Accordingly bankers and brokers are in no
mood to transact business at present rates, and it is
only first-class bills that can be negotiated at 7 and
74 per cent. Under these circumstances the com-
mercial public, whose position enables them, resort
for assistance to the national establishment.

T•lere was a general advance in the foreign ex-
chariges yesterday afternoon, consequent upon the
rise in the rate of discount.

Th.?. rise in the standard for copper ores, the con-
tialled favourable price of lead, added to substantial
irn.Provements and discoveries ought, and will en-
shrine mining enterprises with peculiar interest as
reglrds the fatare, and we unhesitatingly recom-
Mextd oar readers to avail themselves of the present
opportunity to purchase shares in well established

takings, and whilst ruling depression continues.—
