MONEY MARKETI

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The large increase that has lately taken place in
the available balances of discounts has very mate-
terially changed the aspect of the money market.
From a condition of stringency to that of compara-
tive ease, has been the work of only a day or two.
The high rates allowed for money placed out
for only a week or fortnight's notice of
Withdrawal has in a very painful degree r.ff:cted
the discount market, by bringing up from the coun•
try large sums for temporary investment. The
market being thus flooded with capital, the brokers
have been c)mpelled to turn it to account, however
fractional the profit. They are, therefore, now
negotiating bills of three months' date at 81 per
cent., and shorter dated securities at 8t per cent.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Palmer
and Co., of Cullum-street, who failed on the 4th
inst., was held yesterday, when an approximate
statement of affiirs was submitted by Mr. Henry
Edwards, of the firm of Cash and Edwards, the
accountants, showing liabilities amounting to
£410,471 lls. 2d., of which were expected to rank
upon the estate £78,656 lls. ld., with assets
amounting to £62,067 Is. 61., or nearly 16s. in
the pound. After a long discussion it was resolved
to wind up the estate under inspection.
The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised an influx of £34,000 in French gold, and
the withdrawal of 25,000 sovereigns for transmis-
sion to the Brazils.

There was a slight advance yesterday afternoon
in the rates of exchange on Amsterdam and Ham-
burg, but those on Paris were a shade lower.
The Anglo-Austrian Bank will be prepared to
pay, on and after the Ist October, out of realised
net profits, as interest for the first six months of
the current year, the sum of 33. 6d. per share free
of income tax.

The English Stock Market has remained firm
but quiet at yesterday's prices. The transactions
