MARKET

AND
COMMIILCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The money market continues in a favourable
coarse. There has been less inquiry for accommoda-
tion, and the capital on offer shows a small increase.
Under this circumstance the mercantile public are
receiving greater concessions, the discount esta•
blishments having negotiated short-dated bills at
7i 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 Weis 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 Nlinchester, however, prices of both
clothe 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.

At Paris this morning, according to Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66!. 65c.
Heavy.

The market for the English stocks and shares has
been very mueh depressed this morning. The ope-
rations have been exceedingly limited, and at an
early hour the funds declined k per cent., from
which they have not recovered, Consols being 911
for money, and 90 k, less the div., for the account.
The New Three per Cents. are 881 898 ; Exche-
quer Bills, 8s to 7s die.; India 5 per Cents., 105i1 ;
and the Bonds, 15s die.
In the Foreign Market there is very little busi.
flees, and prices are tolerably steady. Mexican
are 436 44; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, 70i 71; ;
do., Consolides, 471 d ; Greek, 231; Spanish Pas-
sive, 331 348 ; Portuguese, 48F6,- 8 ; Mexican Loan,
1 to 01 die; Swedish do., 21 31 prem. ; Russian do.,
3.1 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 10a., and South Eastern 55.,
'While 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 Land Credit are quoted
le 21 prem.; Provincial Banking Corporation, par
prem.; Imperial Bank of China, I 1 prem.; and
Miilwall Iron Works, I to 1 prem.
