COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The returns published this morning, both from
Banks of England and France, being more
4sfactory than could under recent circumstances
expected, a very favourable feeling has conse-
e4tly been produced in monetary and commercial
°lea. The discount houses, under the encourage
influence, the simultaneous appearance the two
lineal banks' balance sheets have promoted, are
L'cing greater inclination to enter into new busi-
-58. In feet, several transactions have already been
orted at a trifle below the official minimum of 9
r cent., but as the mercantile community are
abtless under the impression that if affairs pro-
'-'ss greater facilities will be afforded them have
been borrowers to any large extent.
About £9,000 in gold was taken into the Bank

tYconveyed £77,024.

)Ws that the establishment has not been subjected
lhe unfavourable changes which might have been
icipated. The payment of the dividends has
.need the bullion and reserve of notes to a very
ling extent, but the large demand for accommoe
lon has necessitated the authorities to borrow
her largely upon the Government Securities.

4'd delivery show increased depression.

eater part of which is stated to be secured, so
at the amount expected to rank against the estate
comparatively small. The assets will to a great
tent depend upon the realisation of consignments

London, Oct. 20, 1864.
Gentlemen,—\Ve much regret to inform you that in the
crest of our creditors generally we have decided to 5115-
54 Payment. The inability of many of our buyers to
'et their engagements, and the extreme depreciation in
5 valu9 of securities upon which we have advanced
.el3', has mainly influenced us in adopting this course.
°laguntil very lately possessed a considerable surplus, we
'lev() that if our estate is judiciously realised it will prove
41.1 Y, if not quite, sufficient to enable us eventually to pay
our liabilities in full. Our books are closely written up,
dwe have placed them in the hands of Messrs. Kemp,
led, and Co., to prepare a statement of our affairs. In
meantime we request the favour of your indulgence,-
