MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK,

A good inquiry for mosey is still experienced is
the general discount market, but the rate required
for first-class paper is not more than equal to the
Bank of England minimum. Tae demand appears
to be stimulated by provincial capitalists, who,
through the activity of trade at all the principal
seats of industry, are in need of accommodation for
continuing commercial operations which have lat-
terly much increased.

The alterations shown in the Bank of England
return for the past week have not taken the public
by surprise, as they were foreseen by the sudden and
repeated movements in the minimum rate for dis-
count. The bullion has been reduce 1, and a large
falling off has also taken place in the reserve of
notes. The other securities have been very con-
siderably increased. Subjoined is our usual
analysis :

During the last few days the dealings in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have Nen
very much restricted, consequent upon the advance
in the value of money. At the public sales of tea
rather lower prices have been established, while
sugar, coffee, cocoa, and rice have each been in very
limited request at barely previous rates. In tallow,
however, there has been rather more business at
slightly enhanced prices for both present and for-
ward delivery. The public sales of colonial wool
have commenced with a full attendance of both
home and foreign dealers, and prices generally are
equal to those current at the Close of the previous
auctions.

Were in demand to-day at It, and closed at 2 prem.

The market for the English Funds continues
much depressed, consequent upon sales, and the un-
favourable feeling respecting politics, At one time
this morning a decline of fully / per cent. occurred,
but part of this loss has been recovered, and Consols
are now 901 for money, and 891 (less the half
year's interest) for the account, The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 888 d ; Annuities, 1885,
14 7-16 1 ; Exchequer Bills, for March, 158, Bs.
dis., and 9s. 4s. die.; India 5 per Cents., 1041 I;
and Bonds, 15s. dis.

have further declined. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862,

tinued very inactive, and prices in several instances

have receded it 10s, ; London, Chatham, and
Dover, i 1; and North Eastern (Berwick), and
Lancashire and Yorkshire, ss. ; while Great Eastern
