AND
COXMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCE.
Pending the arrival of later intelligence from the
various money markets abroad, and the further ten-
dency of the specie movement at home, some slight
reserve is manifested iu discount circles in cones-
quence of the recent changes in the terms fur ac-
ceiunaodation, the result of the weekly meeting of
the BankDirectore to-morrow afternoon will no doubt
be awaited with considerable interest. It is thought
that no further movement is likely to be made, but
while affairs are so unsettled it is natural that some
uncertainty should prevail. The inquiries to-day are
reported active, but they are readily supported at 5
Per cent.

About £48,000 in bar gold and £33,000 sove-
reigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday.
The Poonah, which leaves to day with the Cal-
ebtta and China mails, will carry £167,239.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was a general slight upward movement.
The IVllgdalenit from the Brazils has brought

The prospectus has appeared of the Merchants'
Banking Company of London, which has a fixed
nominal capital of £2,000,000, and proposes to raise
for its first issue one-half of that sum by 10,000
shares of £lOO each. The directors are gentlemen
of large business connections, and their object
is to transact operations pertaining, as the
title of the company indicates, of merchant
bankers. Possessing ample and local know-
ledge of the several markets of Europe, the
managers , intend to commence business at as
early a day as the preliminary arrange-
ments will permit. Advances are to be made on
the staple manufactures of this country under docu-
mentary bills, as consigned to the company's agents
abroad for periois necessary to realise the sale of
mall goods. Costly establishments abroad are to be
avoided,as the agencies of mercantile houses already
established and interested in the company's opera-
tions will undertake these duties.

The Metropolitan and Provincial Bank (Limited)
Was on Monday admitted to the privileges of the
clearing-house, The various drafts which must
otherwise have been collected at the counters of the
several banks were thus more conveniently arranged.
Mr. C. H. Robarts has joined the board of the
London, Birmingham, and South Staffordshire
Bank.

Notice has been given that the share list of the
Natianal Steam Navigation Company will be closed
on Saturday next, the 7th inst.

Two o'CLocK.
The Stock Exchange Markets opened this morn-
ing with an exceedingly depressed appearance, and
it soon became evident that the decline in prices
bad not yet ceased. Sales were effected of all de-
scriptions of stocks and shares, and the classes
recently selected as the favourite medium of ape.
eulation were those which suffered most. A large
number of speculative accounts for the rise has now
been closed, and operations for a fall are now the order
of the day. As much eagerness is now shown to
sell securities as was evinced a short time ago to
complete purchases, the effect is seen in an extreme
degree of gloom and heaviness. Consols are 92i s for
money and to-morrow, and 921; 93 for the Dec. ac-
count. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities have
dropped to 931 d ; Bank Stock is marked 234, 236 ;
and Exchequer Bills are very fiat at 4s. die. to par.
Several transactions have taken place in India Stack;
the 5 per Cents. have been 108} 1098 ; the 4 per
Cents., 1001; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 106 ; and do.
Oi per Cents, 115.

There is very little business in the Foreign Mar-
ket, and a further decline has taken place in prices.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 921 s ; do., 1862,
701 711; do. Consolides, have receded to 471 481 ;
Mexican, to 391 391; Greek, to 21 ; do. Coupons,
to 12/ 131 ; Spanish Passive, to 331 341 ; do. Cer-
tificates, to 121 13; Portuguese, to 491 1 ; the New
Scrip, to 1 prem. ; and the Brazilian Loan is
71- 4 ciis.

Increased heaviness has prevailed in the Railway
Share Mraket owing to a preponderance of specu-
lative sales. Great Esatern, North Western, and
South Western have declined 10s., and Caledonian,
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South
astcrn, 155., and Great Northern A. Stock, £l.
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there is
very little change. Bank shares generally exhibit a
slight downward movement as regards values.
Alliance of London and Liverpool have receded to
441 ; Imperial Ottoman to 1.71. ; Union of Australia
realise 60.

In the Miscellaneous Market Egyptian Trad-
ing Company shares have declined to 3i; General
Credit to 61 I ; International Financial, 91;
