MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Moderate supplies of gold continue to pass into
the vaults of the Bank of England, and this cir-
cumstance is exerting a beneficial influence in
monetary circles as well as the Stock Exchange,
where affairs are much less gloomy than they were
a few days ago. The quantity of gold purchased
by the authorities yesterday was £66,000, and other
similar operations are likely to take place during
the next few days. There is scarcely any altera-
tion to report in the actual condition of the discount
market. It is tolerably well provided with floating
capital, but as no decided opinion can be formed as
to the future, the join tastock and private establish-
ments still restrict their transactions, and are mani-
festing an unusual degree of cautionin all the busi-
ness they negoeiate. Long dated bills are by no
means in favour, and at the present moment one of
the most popular channels for the temporary em.
ployment of surplus money is the Stock Exchange,
where loans from day to day are freely offered at
5 per cent. upon the security of the English Funds.
It is satisfactory to be able to state that the
rumours circulated at the Stock Exchange within
the last few days relative to commercial embarras-
ments have proved unfounded. Although failures
may be occasionally announced, there can be no
doubt that the trade of the country is very healthy,
ar.d as credit has been exceedingly well maintained
no difficulty is experienced by respectable houses
in obtaining all the accommodation requisite to
discharge their accruing engagements.
0 wing to the position of the exchanges and other
considerations, the flow of gold to the continent is
not expeced to be immediately resumed on an ex-
tensive scale, and this is rather in favour of mone-
tary prospects. Large quantities of gold are coining
forward from Russia, which, with the receipts from
Australia, America, &c., will ensure a very large
importation of the precious metals.
The City of Baltimore has arrived from America
with £12,600.

An advance of 1 per cent. has taken place o
in the
value of the Fonds, although at one time it appeared
as if a further decline was inevitable. The improve.

future monetary prospects. Consols are now 87&
