XONEY MARKET

AND

"YOM.HERCILL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELTE O'CLOCK.

A very active demand for discount accommoda-
tion has again been experienced in the general
Loney market. Bankers and brokers require the
full quotation of 6 per cent. for the negotiation of
the best commercial bills, and as a consequence of
this stringency a great portion of the mercantile
Community has resorted to the Bank of England
for the assistance they r(qaire.

The Bank of England return for the past week
shows to what great extent applications for discount
have been made to the authorities. The changes
are rather uafavonrable, but, for the most part, are
peculiar to the present season. Annexed are the
particulars :
