COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The fact that no alteration having been made in
In the rate of discount to-day, when everybody
looked forward for an upward movement, has
im-
parted a very favourable tone to business, and bill
brokers are once more throwing aside a little of the
reserve manifested yesterday by negotiating bills
for their regular customers at 81 per cent. This
Charge is regarded in the light of a concession,
because during the past few days they required for
similar transactions from to 1 per cent. more. It
ahodld however be stated that they still refrain
from entering very largely into new business, and
that to the Bank of England is taken nearly all
the Paper brought into circulation.
About 1100,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from
the Bank yesterday for transmission to the Brazils.
The bar silver brought by the Tasmanian has
been sold at ss. Id. per oz. standard, showing a
4.118 e of id. when compared with the price realised
-tor the previous supply.
Daring the last few days there has been very
little
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
"nee Markets. Sugar has been in some measure
i!glected, and at public sale a few parce s of Ma-
nonla sold at a reduction of 35. 3d. to 3s. 9d, per cwt.
°free has been dull ; while the operations in rice,
'fruit, and spices have been only for immediate re-
rirements. The tallow market has also been very
till) and prices have again given way. P.Y.C., on
tha spot, is quoted 40s. 6d,, January delivery, 415.,
and March ditto, 425. per cwt.
The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
-ojuted Friday next a special settling day in the
phases of the English and Swedish Bank; and the
Merchant Banking Company of London to be
44144 quoted ; and also have ordered that the
shares of the Oriental Company and the new Six
per Cent. Bonds of the Ottoman Railway be quoted
14 the oMcial lists.

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f.
15e. Rather firm.
The Stock Exchange markets this morning have
presented a very favourable and improving appear-
aanP, and nearly all the principal securities,English
an Well as Foreign, exhibit an advance in prices.
This buoyancy has been occasioned by the continu-
ance of the rate of discount by the Bank of England
at 8 per cent., and the rumour that no withdrawals
Of gold will be effected for shipment. Consols are
.1, better than last evening, the quotations being
90t ft for money, and 901 91 for the account. The
Reduced Annuities have improved to 901 8 ; and
the New Threes to 901 4 ; Exchequer Bills are 12s.
to 7s. di
u'e• ; and India Bonds, 10s. 38. die. ; the
Indian 5 per Cent. Loan is 106 k 1.
A general improvement has taken place in the
Foreign Market, but business is not active.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 691 ; ditto Con-
cclides, 451 468; Mexican, 331 1 ; lireek, 26 1 ;
ditto Coupons, 12 1 ; Spanish Passive, 321 33 ;
ditto Certificates, 13 1; and Portuguese, 481 1.
Increase heaviness has prevailed in the Railway
*hare Market, London and Brighton having de-
clined 31 per cent., owing to the unfavourable
character of the traffic ; Metropolitan also exhibit
a decline of 2 per cent., and North Eastern
(terwick) t.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
any change of importance.
tank and Miscellaneous shares are inactive,
but generally sustain former prices.
