CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
ADVANCE IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT.
An advance of 1 per cent. has just been an-
nounced in the minimum rate of discount, which
now stands at 7 per cent. The directors, it was
fully imagined, would make a change, and the
effect of its adoption seems to have been favourable
rather than otherwise. It has relieved much of the
anxiety which previously existed, and discounters
are now enabled to proceed with their transactions
with greater confidence than they could while so
Much doubt existed.
'I here was a slight downward movement in some
of/the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.
1110 Stock Exchange Committee have appointed
Monday next, the 7th of December, a special
settling day
in the shares of the Torquay Hotel
Company, the Imperial Hotel Company, the Atlan-
tic Telegraph Company (guaranteed 8 per cent. £5
Bhareo,
and the Mercantile Credit Association, the
last
named to be officially quoted.

The English Stock Market opened very heavily,
hat the decline has only represented 1-16th per

the change in the Bank rates. Speculation is not
'yell' active, but there is a disposition to proceed for
a tall rather than advance in prices. Consols are
now 904 ff, less the dividend, for money and the
aCeollllt tomorrow, and 91fr for January. The

The new rates of interest on deposit accounts have
been arranged by some of the discount houses as
fellows viz., 5 per cent. for money at call ; 51 per
,_ceet. With seven days' notice of withdrawal; and
Algher rates for longer periods.
In the Discount Market, since the alteration
Was announced in the rate, business has been tole-
rably active.
Early in the day Greek Bonds decline 4 per cent.,
°14., to 25, on a statement that the Government did
not contemplate any arrangement with the bond-
holders. The market has since rallied from 25 the
lovirost price reached to 27 I, but the latest values
shoe a renewed relapse to 26-1 1,-; the Coupons
have declined to 131 ; Mexican, 354 4 : Spanish
Passive, 33/1- ; Ditto Certificates, 134 a; Turkish
6 per Cents., 1862, are 63-1, 704 ; Ditto Coneolides,
451 t, and the Confederate Loan 54 56.
In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been
very restricted, and quotations in most in-
stances show a downward movement.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares barely sustain
former rates.
