COMMERCTAT, INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocx.
The general discount market this morning appears
rather firm, possibly under the influence of a fair
demand for money, which has been expE,rienced
this morning. The uncertainty of the future pros-
pects of the money market is shown by brokers
Who still enforce 31-, per cent, for the best three
months' bills.

The Canada from America has brought £6,080.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts for
the past week are generally of a satisfactory charac-
ter. At Manchester prices of both cloths and yarns
have been well maintained. The woollen trade of
Leeds, Bradford, and Fludder,field has shown
symptoms of increased animation ; and in th.,
hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Not-
tingham a more cheerful tone h‘s prevailed.
Business in the hardware districts, viz., at Birming-
L.m, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, has continuer
sa isfactory.
A new undertaking is the Whittington Freeholc
Colliery Company, regoiring a nominal cApi,al of
£135.000 in share. of £lO each. Tne amount to br
first called up is i:75.000, but as nearly half of this
SUM is taken by the vendor in part payment for the
estate, and as 2,000 shares have been already sub-
scribed by the directors, only 8, 00 shares are now
offered to the public. The property in question i.
situated near Chesterfield, is. intersected by the
Midland Railway, and comprises 170 acres of arabl-
land, and covers 350 acres of mineral strata, con
taining six seams of coal and three beds of iron-
stone. The plant and machinery are also included
in the purchase, and the collieries are capable u'
producing upwards of sno tons of coal per dee, ,
while the sale of ironstone, the workings of which
has only recently been commenced, exceeds 300 tons
per week,

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
at 68f. sc. to 68f. Very flat,
Operations in the English Stock 'llarket this
Morning have been limited, and as a consequence,
when business is restricted and a few sales are
efteted, quotations recede. The decline up to the
present moment represents! per cent.,Consols being

Business in the Foreign Market is rather active,
and prices of nearly all the principal securities has
declined; the most important movement is the fall
in the Confederate Loan, which is now 4 to 31 dis-
count owing to the bad news from the seat of war.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
very dull, and a slight decline has taken place in
values. Caledonian and South E 'stern have re-
ceded about 10s , and Great E stern, Brighton arid North W,stern 13s.
For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been a very limited enquiry, and quotations
show little change of importance.
