RONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Discounters are offering the mercantile com-
munity increased facilities, evidently in expectation
of a decline in the minimum quotation. The pro-
spect of an early reduction in the value of money,
however, induced most persons merely to supply
their immediate requirements, because by waiting
a few days they may be enabled to negotiate
their securities on easier terms, and the demand
at present consequently continues quiet. Capi-
talists engaging in discount business are there-
fore unable to obtain much employment for
their available resources, although they
have already lowered their terms for the best bills
to 4f, and in exceptional cases to per cent.
Money is also getting cheaper on the Continent,
the Bank of Amsterdam having, within the last
few days, relaxed its regulations, while the improve-
ment in the situation cf the Bank of France, and
the favourable advicea now received, indicate the
prohability of lower quotations being speedily
announced in the Parisian market.

The accounts from various manufacturing dis-
tricts for the past week are of a less satisfactory
Character. At Manchester both cloths and yarns
have been in very limited request, and prices tende I
downwards. In the woollen districts, viz., at Leeds,
Bradford, Huddersfield, and Halifax, the chief
Operations have been in spring goods at about pre-
vious rates. The hosiery and lace departments of
Leicester and Nolingham have shown more acti-
vity, while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver
hampton there nas been little change of importance.
Tne dividend on the Peruvian 4,1 per Cent. Bonds
and Turkish 6 per Cent Loan of 1858 has been an-
nounced for payment.

The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway
of Canada for the week ending the 30th ult.,
amounted to £13,019, against £10,633 last year.
The Arabia, from New York, has brought
£60,356, and the Cossack, from Lisbon, £1,375 in
specie,

Two o'CLocit.

The English Stock Mirket, which closed on Satur-
day with a very buoybut appearance, is rather
Ratter to-day, consequent upon a few sales on behalf
of speculators who, having bought at lower prices,
Were desirous of securing the profit within their
reach. Consols are therefore 92i y, for money and
9214 93 for the account, but upon the whole affairs
present a favourable appearance, and the market
Intlat still be considered exceedingly firm. rho
New 3 per Cents. are firm at 924 93; the RAnced
~4t 924 i; Red Sea Telegraph Annuities, 211, and
India 5 per Cent. Loan, 1081.

In the Foreign Mlrket the dealings have been
Moderately aeive, and prices, in most instances,
have shown increased buoyancy; Italian 5 per Cents.,
however, have declined to 691 owing to the ex-
Peoted issue of a new loan. Egyptian are firm at
100 4 ; do., 2d issue, at 994 100; Greek Bonds have
improved to 204; do., Coupons, are 9 4 ; Mexican
Stock has advanced to 334 4, in consequence of the
tnore favourable advices from the Republic ; Portu-
guese New Loan is steady at 464 474 ; Russian
do., 93 t; Spanish Passive, 261 Q ; do. Certificates,
01 10 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854. are buoyant at
901; do., 1858, at 734 74; do., 1862, 704 71 ; and
th Consolides, 41142.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
continued moderately active, and prices exhibited,
14 most instances, a further short improvement.
Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North
Western, and South-Eastern, have improved 55.;
and Great Eastern and Great Northern A Stock,
10s.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings were
without material variation. South Auslrian and
Lombardo-Venetian realise 234; Sambre and Meuse,
11 s ; Great Luxembourg, 16 Great Western
of Canada improved to 13?, 4 ; and Grand Trunk
of Canada to 211. East Indian was firm at 1064.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
coLtinued dull, but exhibited no marked variation
in prices. London and Westminster realised 76k
77! ; British and American Exchange improved to
114 I; and Alliance of London and Liverpool to
2q. South Australian Land was steady at 31;
and Scottish Australian Investment at 140.

of a sermon in Chinese ever spoken in Europe was delivered
by Alezz ,faLti, on occasion of a Spiritual Retreat to :11-

VCry pretty specimen of hie Chinese
