AIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There appears to be no diminution in the gene-
-I'4l demand for discount, the enquiries on commer-
cial account being very steadily maintained. Toe
ilew loans and frequent calls on the shares of the
Luraerous joint stock companies introduced to the
Pilblie within the last few months also produce an
til'et, but there is still an abundance of money, and
Ile difficulty is experienced among the mercantile
°lllmunity in obtaining all the assistance they re-
quire.

The Damascus, from New York, has brought
480,000, the Africa £263,0u0, and the Peru, from
41exandria, £32,590 in specie.
Tha accounts from the manufacturing eistricts for
the past week have not been of quite so satisfactory
a character. Business at Manchester has been dull
to huth cloths and yarns, and in the woollen districts,
'2.10f Leeds; Bradford, Tialifaxosnd Huddersfield,
the operations have been principally in spring goods
inamediate home requirements. The hosiery and
'ace departments at Leicester and Nottingham have
liee moderately active, while at Birmingham, Shef-
s.ld,and Wolverhampton there has been no material
alteration.

The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail-
IclY of Canada for the week ending 6th inst. were
414,323 against £10,106 last year.

At the ordinary annual meeting to-day of the
Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, Mr. J.
Chapman in the chair, an adjournment was agreed
11Pon till the Ist of June next, to enable the direc-
tors to settle the details of their contract with the
Government. It was stated that the latter had
grtinted the usual subsidy. and that the arguments
14ed against it in the House of Commons on Friday
bight last had completely failed to establish a case.
Alt: ough the dealings in the English Stock
Market to .day have been very limited, purchases
have been promoted by the intelligence from Poland
sbd other influences. The supplies of stock bought
have not been large ; but the result has been fa-
vourable, Consols having improved to 921 1 for

federate is about 4 prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market exhibited
rather more animation, and in some instances prices
were a shade firmer. Great Easterns, Midlands,
4nd North British advanced 55.; and Great -Westerns,
and South-Elsterns, 10s.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings the
oPer,Ltions were limited, and no material alteration
took place in values.
