COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There has been an exceedingly good demand for
Money to-day in the open market, where 4 per
cent, is the ordinary charge paid for the best class
of bills. Transactions, however, in a few instances
have been recorded at 38 per cent. The large
inquiry for accommodation lately experienced has
doubtless' been stimulated through the activity
displayed during the past two months in nearly all
tho manufacturing districts.
A further sum of £90,000 in gold was taken
into the Bank of England yesterday, but 45,000
sovereigns were withdrawn for exportation to the
Mauritius.
The Pera arrived from the'Mediterranean with
£19,140.
The return published by the Bank of England
authorities for the week to Wednesday last contains
several rather important alterations, including a
further augmentation in the bullion and ether secu-
rities. The reserve of notes has also been increased

During the past week the operations in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce markets have been
Moderately active. Tea, at public sale, has sold at
rather irregular prices. Sugar, coffee, rice, fruit,
end spices have been in fair request, without any
material variation in values. The tallow market
has shown symptoms of improvement, P.Y.C., on
tile spot, being quoted 425., and for last 3 months'
delivery 435. per cwt.

TWO O'CLOCK,

In the English Stock Market Consols have re-
covered to 93'' for money, and to 934 for the

and some variation has occurred in prices. Turkish
