COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

No alteration is noticable this morning in_ the
appearance of the Discount Market. Money is
again in active request, bankers and bill brokers
exact full terms for all the business they negotiate,
except for very short dated first-class paper, and
the inquiries at the Bank of Eng:and continue
litterous. The equality of the rate out of doors
'with the official minimum enables the authorities to
secure the larger number of bills brought forward,
and this fact is established by the Bank Return
published list evening, showing an increase of
£308,869 in the other securities.

The Bank of England return, completed for the
Week to Wednesday last, is of rather an unfavour
able character. The other securities have been in-
creased, in consequence of the close approximation
of the rates in the open market to that of the official
minimum, and the bullion, notwithstanding the
recent and large influx, has been diminished by
X 28,728. The other deposits are also less. The
psblic deposits, however, owing to the active col-
lection of the revenue, have been increased by
X 919,981. Annexed are the particulars

A further sum of £14,000, in gold, was taken
into the Bank yesterday.
The New York, from New York, has brought
X 35,119.

Daring the last few days there has been rather
less activity exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets. Limited dealings have taken
place in tea, at about previous rates, while coffee,
Sugar, and rice have, in some instances, been rather
Cheaper. In the tallow mullet full rates have been
current for P.Y.C., for both present and forward
delivery.

The directors of the Joint Stock Discount Com-
pany have resolved to augment the capital in con-
sequence of the largely increasing business lately
experienced. Forty thousand additional shares of
£25 each are to be issued at £1 per share premium,
end to be distributed pro rata to the proprietors,
subject to the payment of £2 per share on or before
the 13th proximo, £2 on the 19th November, and
A:2 per share on the 23d December next.
