MONEY MARKET

AND
COMBORCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:

The reduction that has lately taken place in the
floating balances of bankers and others has mate-
rially changed the aspect of the motley market, and
discounters evince less disposition to negotiate
commercial securities without receiving a large
Marginal profit. The inquiry for accommodation
continues moderately active, and the quotations for
the best three months' bills have ranged from 715.-

per cent.
No bullion operations were reported at the Bank
Yenterday.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have
appointed Thursday next a special settling day in
the shares of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank for trans.
actions entered into on and after August 6, but not
to be marked at present in the official lists.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
:Markets during the last few days has continued
4 ther dull ; sugar, however, has maintained pre-
vious rates, while superior descriptions of coffee
have been in demand at full prices. In rice, cocoa,
fruit, and spices there has been little change of im-
portance ; but considerable excitement has prevailed
In the Tallow Market owing to speculative dealings
for forward delivery.
The official statement relating to the trade and
commerce of the United Kingdom for the past
seven months up to 31st July have just been pnb-
tahed, from which it appears that the total de-
clared value of the exports during that period
amounted to £92,441,950 against 75,663,037 in the
like period of 1863, showing an increase of
£16,778,913. The chief increase has been in
coals and culm, cotton manufactures, cotton
yarn, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares
and cutlery, linen manufacture, woollen and
worsted manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool.
The imports have been larger as regards live ani.
orals, raw cotton, flax, provisions, quicksilver, and
sheep and lambs wool, flour, brandy, tobacco, and
Wine, but smaller in raw silk, tallow, cocoa, coffee,
torn, pepper, and sugar. The shipping accounts
for the same period show an increase of 136,962
tons employed in the foreign trade for the entries
inwards, as also of 162,277 tons for the clearances
outwards. In the coasting trade during the above
period 23,564 tons more were employed than in the
corresponding period of the previous year for the
entries inwards, and 82,525 tons for the clearances
outwards.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 30c.
The English Stock Market has been subjected to
a severe depression to-day consequent upon the few
dealings which have taken place. The Funds re-,
ceded 1 per cent. soon atter the commencement of
buclincss, and Consols are 881 for money, and 884
i for the account. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 88,1 ; Exchequer Bills, 20s. die. ;
India 5 per Cents., 103! 104; and Enfaced 4 per
Cents., 92.
In the Foreign Market there is very little anima*
tion, and prices are tolerably firm, Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 70 4; do. Consolides, 501 ; Mexi-
can, 281 ; do. New, 251 26i; Greek, 23; 244;
Spanish Passive, 31 4 ; do. Certificates, 131 1;
Portuguese, 47: w ; and the Confederate Loan, 78
79.
The arrangement of the half-monthly account has
been the principal business transacted in the Rail-
way Shar© Market today, and prices have not
Varied to any important extent. London, Chatham,
and Dover have declined £l, and North Western
and South Eastern each 53. ; while Lancashire and
Yorkshire have improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
Material change.
Bank and Miscellaneous shares are very dull, and
barely sustain former quotations.
