COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is no change to report in the general con
aition of the discount market, although the supply
of money in some quarters is rather less abundant.
The Bank of England raturn for the week end-
-113 Wednesday last shows an increase in the stock
of bullion, and an augmentation in the other secu-
l'ilies. The particulars are as subjoined

The directors of the Union Bank of Ireland have
made a call of £5 per share, payable on or before
the 10th proximo.
Rather less animation has prevailed in the Foreign
"Id Colonial Produce Markets during the last few
d,aYa• Sugars have in some instances shown a
slight decline, but full rates have been obtained for
efree and rice. At the public sales of tea, the bid-
dings were rather languid, and there was no altera-
tion of importance in the rates realised. Saltpetre
eohtinued in fair request, at full rates, but tallow
b 45 slightly declined for both present and forward
"ielivery.

At the public auctions of colonial wool, which
commenced on Feb. 26 and closed yesterday, there
1148 been a good attendance of home dealers and
manufacturers, but prices generally had a down-
N%'ard tendency, ranging from ld. to lid. for
n ''4l3e, and 2id. to 3d. per lb. for Australian descrip-
tions, The quantity offered amounted to 49,097
"41°89 chiefly from the Cipe of Good Hope.
ti.AVith regard to the Salvador Loan, M. L. W.
41"lewood begs to give notice that he has, at the
earliest possible moment, called the attention of
1115 Excellency Don Carlos Gutierrez, the Minister,
4" of the other commissioners for the loan, to the
I'litlanured threatened invasion of Salvador by the
l resident of Guatemala. Tee private advices from
those well informed stigmatise this action on the
Part of Guatemala as anpr yoked and most unjus-
tlaible. It is by no means certain that hostilities
1111 ensue. It is gratifying to be able to state that
the
desire of the Commissioners to maintain the
I.lblic credit of Salvador Ms overruled all others,
and that, consequently, Mr. Haslewood is autho-
ti'ed to inform the subscribers, and intending sub-
i3eribers to the above loan, that the lists will be
"Pt open until ten days after the arrival of the
next na,il from the P.c.fio (due 31st inst.), a, d that
lf the news then to airive shall not be deemed
satisfactory to any sub,criber, he shall he at liberty
at
50Y time during such ten days to withdraw his
4PPlication, aed will receive his deposit. The
o ntomissioners desire most emphatically to state
!hat the proceeds of this loan were required solely
'°r internal improvements, and that if war should
44rortenately break out they will await some more
.
'4N'ollrlAbie opportunity for its negotiation.

telegram' the 3 per Cent. French Rentes were

There has been no fluctuation to 'day in the
market for the English Funds, Consols remaining
at 928 for transfer, and 921 °,13 for the account.
'sllNiciess is very inactive, and there is not the
8/ightest feature of interest to recnrd. The New 3

Vrom the official return issued to day it appears
that the revenue of the South Austrian and Lom-
t4deVenctian lines (extending over 1,323 miles),
during the week ending the 11th inst., was £46,133,
or £2,903 less than the company received in the
same time in 1862, on 1,203 miles. On the Central
Of Italy branch, from Plaisance to Bologna, a dis-
tance of 91 miles, the receipts were £3,202, against
")690 in the same period of last year.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
d'en limited, and prices have shown a further
"inward movement. Great Westerns receded 55.;

The Foreign and Colonial lines were dull, at
