AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Monetary affairs within the past few days have
1188nnaed a very favourable appearance. The con-
tinuance of the official minimum at 8 per cent., and
the constant increase of the capital afloat in the
general discount market, have occasioned an easier
feeling to prevail, and the brokers seem more die-
Posed to compete with the authorities for the bud.,
tress brought forward. Discounters are now willing
to negotiate approved short-dated mercantile secu-
rities as low as 76 per cent,, and with this con.
cession there is much less demand for accommoda-

from the national establishment.
business in the Mincingslane markets during the
last few days has been rather dull, For raw sugar
however there has been a fair enquiry chiefly for
ahlimont to France, and prices have been well sus-
tained. Coffee has been dealt in to a very limited
extent at slightly reduced prices, while in rice, fruit,
and spices, there has been little change of importance.
Ia the tallow market the operations for both pre-
lent and forward delivery have been on a moderate
scale, at steady prices.

The market for English Stocks has presented
tal,"helerY fiat appearance this morning, the transac-
recorded having been chiefly by sellers.
Prices have accordingly given way, the decline in
the Funds amounting to 1 per cent. Consols are
again quoted 891 1 for money, and 891 g for the
account. The New Threes and Reduced Annui-
ties are 88! f, the Five per Cents, 1873, 104; do.

The buoyancy noticeable yesterday in Foreign
securities has passed away, and general depression
this morning prevails in its stead. Mexican, ex all,
have declined 1 to 28i 29; the New Stock has also
receded 1. to 26 1; Greek are it worse at 2319;
Tides

°54 is y higher at 77 79.
In the Railway blare Market the operations
have been on a very limited scale, and prices have
e.llown rather less firmness. Great Northern A
Lincoln,

44incoln, and Metropolitan, each 10s. ; and South
ftstern, 10s. ; while Caledonian have improved 108.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.

GALLANT CONDUCT OF THE DUKE OF BEDFORD.
William Aspinall, of Liverpool, in a letter to a con-
temporary, says :—" I was sitting in St. James's-park
yes'erday, after dinner, near the ornamental water, when
there was a cry that a child had fallen in. Suffering
myself from chronic rheumatism I was debarred from
rendering assistance. Although there were hundreds of
persons looking at the drowning boy, no one seemed in-
clined to save him, when a gentleman about fifty (whom
I recognised as the Dulls of Bedford) approached, and
after looking about for a few moments, evidently to see
if any one one was inclined to jump in, suddenly jumped
in and brought tho boy safely to land, amidst the shouts
and blessings of tlao multitude."
