comuzitciAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Discount Market remains in the same un-
altered condition as for the past fortnight. The
demand continues active, and 3Z- 4 per cent. are the
quotations for the best descriptions of mercantile
three months' paper. The rates in the open market
thus approaching the level of the official minimum
are ea() consequence of a good inquiry prevailing at
the Rank of England.
A further sum of £57,000, in gold, was taken
into the Bank yesterday.
The bar silver by the West India packet has
been sod at 53.1 d. per oz. standard.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
PqititQd the 11th inst. to be a special settling day
in the shares of the London and African Trading
'-utepany, after which the transactions are to be
recorded in the official lists.

„ During the last few days there has been very
little business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
markets. Tea has remained dull at previous rates,
While sugars have given way about 6d, per cwt.
Rice, coffee, fruit, and spices have been in steady
request, but a further decline has taken place ii.,
tallow for both present and forward delivery, the
quotations being, spot 425., and last three months
44. Gd, per cwt.

Two o'CLocK,

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
691. 10c. Very flat.

At the half-yearly meeting to•day of the London
General Omnibus Company, the report, which re-
commended the payment of a dividend at the rate
of five per cent. per annum, free of income tax, was
unanimously adopted. The profit made during the
half year amounted to £25,349, and the balance at
the disposal of the directors was L 20,153.
Very little business has been transacted today in
the murket for the English Funds, which, however,
notwithetanding the prevailing inactivity continue
extremely firm. The quotations for Consols are
931 a for money, and 93,3 94 for the Bth proximo.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 924
the Thirty Years' ditto, 141 ; Bank Stock is marked
240, and Exchequer Bills are par. The India 5
Per Cent. Loan is 1081-1, and the 51 per Cent. En-
faced. Paper., 11617 117.
-Foreign Securities continue to attract attention,
sad a further decided rise has taken place in the
value of the principal speculative stocks. Turkish 6
Per Cents., 1858, have improved to 701 ; ditto,
1862, to 71, 71,1 ; ditto, Consolides, 534 548 ; Greek,

43k; the Confederate Loan to 29k, 281 dis; Portu-
guese are 49: ; and Venezuelan. 581 2.
In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been very limited ; prices, however, have exhibited
more firmness. Caledonian, Brighton, North-
Western, and Midland have each improved about
65., and Metropolitan and South-Eastern 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change
of importance, Great Luxemburg being quoted
14Z- A ; South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian,
22 ?,-; East Indian have declined to 108: ; and
Madras 5 per Cents. have improved to 1071 1081.

Maim without material alteration in prices. Alli-
ance of London and Liverpool have improved to
394 401; Imperial Ottoman to 19/ -1; London and
