AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:

The probable large shipments of gold to the Con-
tinent is unfavourably influencing the condition of
the discount market. Brokers, ever on the alert to
take advantage of any opportunity presenting itself
to keep up quotations, are now charging 5-1 per
cent. for the best bills. Had it not been for this
specie movement, the rates for accommodation
would no doubt have descended nearly per cent,
The Mexican dollars, by the last packet, have
been sold at 5s 4d per ounce, for China.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been rather less
animation. Sugars have barely sustained former
prices, while tea, owing to the large quantity an-
nounced for public sale to-day, has been neglected.
Rice, fruit, cocoa, and spices have been in very
limited request, at about former rates ; while tallow
has continued in moderate demand, at steady rates,
for both present and future delivery.
The directors of the Warrant Finance Company
have wade a call of £5 per share, payable on the Ist
September next.
A new large banking establishment for the East
has been announced under the title of the Anglo-
Egyptian Bank, with a capital of £2,000,000 in
shares of £5O each. The object is to purchase two
private banking firms at Alexandria, and also to
act in correspondence with the Agra and Master-
man's and the General Credit and Finance Com-
pany of London. The two foreign houses have for
years enjoyed the pecuniary and political advan-
tage of being the agents for the Viceroy.
The principal. partners are to be retained
as managers of the new concern, and coupled with
their immense influence at the seat of operations,
together with the largo expancion of commerce in
this direction, very sanguine hopes are entertained
as to the career of this new bank. The chief
directors of the Agra and Masterman's Bank and
of the General Credit and Finance Company are
upon the directory of the bank. Messrs. Hill,
Fawcett, and Hill, the brokers, have launched forth
the project to the notice of the investing classes,
and the shares have already attained a premium of
2 to 3.

Two O'CLOCK. 8
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 27c.
Heavy.
The English Stock Market, compared with the
decline of per cent. which took place last evening Sh
after business hours, shows no alteration of impor-
tance. These occasional fluctuations are the cones- s'
quence of the small business now transacted, and
the desire to avoid extensive speculation. Consols
are 901 a, and for the account 901 I. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 Exche. ;
quer Bills, for June, 5s dis. to par; India 5 per 1
Cents., 1041 I; and ditto 4 per Cents., 991.

Market, and prices have been rather flatter. Turkish

guese, 47148; Italian, 671 ; and the Confederate
Loan, 75 76.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have ii
been rather limited, and in some instances prices etl
have slightly given way. Great Northern A Stock
has receded.Lllos. ; London, Chatham, and Dover, S'

£1 ; North Western, 10a. ; and Midland. 108.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have shown little

or no change of importance.
