COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The inquiry for discount accommodation this
morning has not been so active as during the few
preceding days, and an easier tone is therefore now
perceptible. The rates are 31, 4 pAr cent. fur the
negotiation of the best commercial bills.

In the foreign exchinges yesterday afternoon
there was no change of importance.
There was a further influx of £30,000 in bar
gold at the Bank yesterday.
The arrival of specie anwinced to-day comprise
£43,220 by the America from New York, and
£1,198 by the Ripon from Alexandria.

A❑ important undertaking is the London Cocoa-
nut Fibre Company, recently brought before the
notice of the investing classes. It purposes the
purchase of the letters patent for the exclusive
manufacture, according to Mr. Davies' invention, of
articles from the fibre of the cocoa-nut. It is
averred that not only does the unique maipuiative
process of the patent impart to the fabric a better
pile than the old mode, bat also that its durability
is greater and its eost considerably reduced. The
thief articles manufactured from the fabric are mats
and other descriptions or floor-cloths, and it is very
Correctly presumed that their greater cheapness will
materially extend the now increasing demand for
domestic and other uses. The capital required for
purchasing the patent, looms, and plant, and for
-working the business nn a large scale, is £20,000,
to be raised by El shares.

Another large hotel is to be erected by the Rich-
mond-hill Hotel Corrpany, which has just been
announced with a nominal capital of £lOO,OOO, the
first issue consisting of 5,000 shares of £lO each.
The directors have secured the property known as
the Ashburnham Lodge, upon which site they in-
tend to erect the new establishment. Reference
is made in the prospectus to the large profits de-
rivable from this description of enterprise, and to
the attractions Richmond affords for the permanent
and temporary residence of Londoners and others.
Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. is to be paid on
the shares until the opening of the hotel.

Very little alteration is apparent to-day in the
market for the English Funds, Consols being 94
for transfer, and 921. 1 for the account. The trans-

maintained at 4s. dis. to par. •
