MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Continued firmness prevails in the rates of dis-
count in the general money market, 3Z and 4 per
cent, being the lowest charges for the negotiation
of even the finest three months' bills; the demand
is moderate.

About £31,000 in gold, was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £558,700, and the exports to £330,000.
There was no material alteration in the foreign
exchanges yesterday afternoon.

The third,series of public sales of colonial wool
which commenced on the 16th July were brought
to a close yesterday. The quantity offered
amounted to 10Q433 bales ; there was a good at-
tendance of both home and foreign buyers, and the
rates realised were fully equal to those current at
the previous auctions in May and June.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 60c.—heavy.
At the commencement of business in the English
Stock market this morning there was a decline of
per cent. upon a few sales, but a recovery has
since taken place, and Consols, which were 93
for money, and 931 s for the account, are now 931
and 931- 7, respectively. There is very little business
in progress, owing in a great measure to the limited
number of members present. The New Threes are
93 the Reduced 93-i ; Exchequer Bills Is. dis.

There has been a quiet market for Foreign Secu-
rities, but several alterations have occurred in values.

68 69 ; do., Consolides, 491 ; Greek have risen
to 331- 34; do. Coupons, to 16 1 ; and the Confede-
rate Loan to 261 25 dis.; bat Mexican have re-
ceded to 381- ; Spanish Passive, to 331 341; the
Internal do. are steady at 271 ; the Certificates,
at 12s Portuguese, at 48i and Russian are
921 93.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been very restricted, and in some instances prices
have shown a slight decline. Great Western
and South Eastern have receded 10s.; and
London and Brighton, and North Western, ss.
Caledonian, Metropolitan, and North Eastern
(Berwick), however, each improved ss.
For the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been
a very limited enquiry, and prices exhibit no
material change.
