COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
The general discount market remains without
any new feature of importance, the requirements
of the mercantile community being supplied upon
the terms which have now been current for some-
time past.
About £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

1863. 1862.
Great Western 165,511 £67,796
North-Western 101,802 104,275
South-Western
Brighton.
Midland
South-Eastern
Great Northern
Lancashire and Yorkshire 39,660 35,455
Great Eastern
Bristol and Exeter
North Eastern 55,323 52,513
Edinburgh and Glaswow
Glasgow and South-Western
Great Western of Canada . 9,120 8,366

These returns, with one or two exceptions, are of
an unsatisfactory character. Oa the Great Western
there is a decrease of £2,285; on the North Western,
£2,473; on the Brighton, £1,749 ; on the South
Eastern, £1,592 ; on the Great Northern, £2,762;
and on the Great Eastern, £3Bl. The South
Western shows an increase of £7B; the Midland,
£1,618 ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, £4,205 ;
and the North Eastern, £2,810.

Two O'CLOCK.
The Paris Three per Cent. Rentes, this morning,
according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, opened at 67f.
10c.; business flat.

An improvement of per cent, has taken place
in the market for the English Funds, owing to a few
purchases, chiefly on speculation. Consols are 921
for money and account, with a buoyant tendency.
The market altogether presented a better appearance.
The New Threes and Reduced are 921 93; Bank
Stock is 239; India 5 per Cents., 1078 108}; and
Exchequer Bills, par to 3s. premium.
There has not been much activity in the Foreign
Stock Market, and the variations were not of im-
portance. Turkish Consotides are 491 50, being
firmer. Mexican are 368 ; and the Confederate
Loan is 4to 31 dis. Business has taken place in
Spanish Passive at 31} 328; and the Certificates
at 128 k. Greek are marked 331 I, and the
Coupons 15k 1.
In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been of the most limited character, and prices have
in some instances exhibited increased depression.
Great Western, North Western, Midland, and
South Eastern have each declined about 55.,
London and Blackwall, 155., and London and
Brighton, 11.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remained
very inactive, and barely sustained former quo-
tations.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were flat. Im-
perial Ottoman declined to 171 18; Union of Lon-
don to 351; Electric Telegraph remained steady at
106-1 ; Crystal Palace Stock at 38*; Peninsula and
Oriental Steam at 781 791; International Financial
Shares are quoted 44 to 41 prem.; London Finan-
cial do. * to 11 pm. ; General Credit do. 4 tog prem.
Egyptian Trading Company, 1 to 11 ; and Hudson's
Bay Company to 1 discount.
