AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

street and elsewhere for the negotiation of three
Months' paper.

In the Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon,
there was no alteration of importance.

his option, at the rate of 514. per pound free of ex

the market for the English Funds, the limited
transactions entered into having taken place at
previous quotations. Consols are 928 for transfer,
and about 921, I for the account. The new loans
now before the public attract almost exclusive at-
tention, and this department of the house is very
lunch neglected. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 90i 8 ; India 5 per Cents. are marked
1001 a; the 51 per Cents., 112:; and Exchequer
kills, se. to 2s. dis.

58. and North Eastern (Berwick) and South
Easterns, 10e.; Lancashire and Yorkshire have
improved ss. ; and Manchester, Sheffield, and
