MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The money market is firm at the advanced rates,
Very little accommodation can be obtained under 5
per cent., an unsettled feeling still prevailing with
regard to the future course of events. There is an
idea in some quarters that increased restrictions may
have to be adopted, and under these circumstances
capitalists are anxious to obtain full rates for all
the business they negotiate.
The City of Washington has arrived from New
York with £187,300 iri specie.
These returns are in most instances of a very
satisfactory character. On the Great Western there
is an increase of £1,986, on the North Western of
.£9,994, on the South Western of £2,689, on the
Brighton of £l,lBl, on the Midland of £2,253, on
the Great Northern of £757, on the Great Eastern
of £1,306, on the North Eastern of £1,292, on the
Lancashire and Yorkshire of £1,216, on the South
Eastern of £1,290; on the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincoln of £757; and on the Great Western 3f
Canada of £371.
