CONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

More firmness is app trent to-day in the general
Discount Market, 4 per cent. being the quotation
for first-class bills of three months' date. There is
nevertheless an impression that the rates will be
much easier in the course of the next fortnight,
owing to the flow of gold into the Bank of Eng-
land, the large arrivals of specie, and other favour-
able influences.
The bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday
comprised the influx of £41,000 in bar gold.
The Shannon has arrived from the West Indies
with £793,610.
Accounts from the manufacturing districts for the
past week have been more satisfactory. At Man-
chester, however, there has only been a limited
business in cloths and yarns. The woollen trade at
Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been more
active, while symptoms of improvement have been
apparent in the hosiery and lace departments of
Leicester-and Nottingham. Business in the hard-
ware districts, viz., of Birmingham, Sheffield, and
Wolverhampton, has exhibited little change of im-
portance.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Renter were
at 68f. 50c.—Heavy.
Further indications of buoyancy have prevailen
to-day in the market for the English Funds, the
business negotiated, althougo comparatively small,
having comprised several purchases on speculative
accouut. The situation of political affairs is looked
upon with less uneasiness, and an up ward tendency is
promoted by the tavourabte course of the specie
movement. Consols fur transfer are 921 and fur
the account 92/ j. Tne New Threes and Redeeed
Annuities have advanced to 911 92; Indian 5 per
Cents. were firm, at 1081; the Enlaced 5 pet
Cents. at 115 ; and Exchequer Bills, 4s. dis. to par.
In the Foreign Market to-day there is more
animation, and a further general advance has taken,
place in the value of speculative securities. Turk-
ish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 701 71/ ; ditto Conso-
lides, 501 51; Greek, 361 a ; ditto Cuupons, 17 1;

In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been limited and chiefly connected with the settle-
ment. Prices, however, have in most instances ex-
hibited increased buoyancy. Greet Eastern have.
