ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK,

Continued activity prevaila in the Money Market
to-day, the demand at the Bank of England, as
well as out of doors, being of a very active charac-
ter, and 4 per cent. is the lowest charge for the beet
rnetcantile securities. The settlements now in pro-
gress at the Stock Exchange are no doubt exerting
an important influence, and 4 per cent. is the rate
for loans from day to day on Government Securities.
About £32,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday. _ .

The Tasmanian, from the West Indies. brought
about £705 600, and the City of New York from
America £44,060.
During the last few days the operations in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been
very limited. Sugars in some instances have
slightly declined, while tea, coffee, and rice have
remained inactive at about previous rates, The
Tallow Market, however, has been rather more ani-
mated, consequent upon extensive speculative deal-
ings, and a better inquiry on the part of the trade
for home consumption.
The official returns relating to trade and navi-
gation for the eight months ended the 31st August,
have juet been published, from which it appears
that the total declared value of the exports have
been £89,751,851, against £82,276,107 in the
like period of the previous year, showing an
increase of 1:7,475,7'14. The increase is most
perceptible in beer and ale, cotton manu-
factures, earthenware, haberdashery, and millinery,
hardwares and cutlery, linen yarn, linen manufac-
tures, machinery, metals, silk manufactures, woollen
and worsted yarn, and worsted manufactures.
The importations of the principal articles were
larger as regards raw cotton, hemp, leather manu-
factures, provisions, sheep and lambs' wool, tea,
coffee, spices, sugar, tobacco, and wine. There
was a diminution, however, in raw silk, tallow,
wheat, and flour.

The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the
amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade
of the United Kingdom, for the same period, of
520,725 tons for the entries inwards, and of
141,546 tons for the clearances outwards.

In the coasting trade for the eight months,
169,201 tons more were employed than at the
corresponding period of 1862 for the entries in-
wards, and there was nil increase :of 183,689 tons
on the clearances outwards.

Two o'CLOCK.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele
gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 68f. 25c.
68f. 22c. 68f. 15c.—Animated.
Towards the close of business yesterday after.
noon the Funds improved fully k per cent. on a
few purchases, encouraged by the large arrival of
specie brought by the Tasmania, and the receipt of
higher prices from the Paris Bourse. The
advance, however, has not been maintained, Consols
after being 931 for money, and 931 a for the
account, being now 931 7, and 937 4 respectively.
Rather more firmness is apparent in the New
Threes and the Reduced Annuities, which are quoted
919 922; India 5 per Cents., 1081 Eefaced 52
per Cents., 1161; and Exchequer Bills, ls. die., 2s.

upward tendency. Lancashire and Yorkshire have
