ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMEILCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The money market continues in a favourable
course. There has been less inquiry for accommoda-
tion, and the capital cn offer shows a small increase.
Under this circumstance the mercantile public are
receiving greater concessions, the discount esta.
bliehments having negotiated short-dated bills at
7 per cent. _ _

_ .
The arrivals of specie announced this morning
comprise £8,489 by the Europa, from America ;
£14,000 by the Kosciusko, from Port Phillip ; and
£18,788 from Geelong, by the Champion of the
Seas.

About £38,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
on Saturday.
During the past week the intervention of the
Whitsuntide holidays has been the cause of a partial
suspension of business in most of the manufacturing
districts. At Manchester, however, prices of both
cloths and yarns have been well sustained, and in
the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hud-
dersfield high rates have been current for both
Wools and manufactured goods. Rather less ani-
mation has prevailed in the hosiery and lace de-
partments at Leicester and Nottingham, while the
same may be reported in the hardware districts of
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 65c.
Heavy.
The market for the English stocks and shares has
been very muoh depressed this morning. The ope-
rations have been exceedingly limited, and at an
early hour the funds declined 1 per cent., from
which they have not recovered, Consols being 91i1
for money, and 90 8, less the div., for the account.
The New Three per Cents. are 888 89g ; Exche-
quer Bills, 8s to 7s dis.; India 5 per Cents., 105 i 9 ;
and the Bonds, 15s dis.

In the Foreign Market there is very little busi.
nese, and prices are tolerably steady. Mexican
are 431 44 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, 701 711;
do., Consolidee, 471 ; Greek, 231; Spanish Pas-
sive, 331 341; Portuguese, 481 a ; Mexican Loan,
1 to 01 die; Swedish do., 21 31. prem. ; Russian do.,
prem. ; and the Confederate Loan, 66 67.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con.
tinned very inactive, and the variations in prices
have been unimportant. North Western and Mid-
land have each declined 10s., and South Eastern 55.,
lvhile Great Western have improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines continue very
dull, at about former quotations

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares exhibit no mate-
rial change. International Laid Credit are quoted
11. 21. prem.; Provincial Banking Corporation, par
1 prem.; Imperial Bank of China, 1 1 prem.; and
dillwall Iron Works, 1 to 1 prem.
