COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The general discount market this morning appears
rather firm, possibly under the influence of a fair
demand for money, which has been exp, rienced
this morning. The uncertainty of the future pros-
pects of the money market is shown by brokers
Who still enforce 31 per cent. for the best three
months' bills.

The Canada from America has brought 16,086.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts for
the past week are generally of a satisfactory charac-
ter. At Manchester prices of both cloths and yarns
have been well maintained. The woollen trade of
Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has shown
symptoms of increased animation ; and in the
hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Not-
tingham a more cheerful tone has prevailed.
Business in the hardware districts, viz., at Birming-
ht.m, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, has continued
as isfactory.

A new undertaking is the Whittington Freehold
Colliery Company, requiring a nominal capital of
£135,000 in share-, of £lO each. Tne amount to b.-
first called up is £75,000, but as nearly half of this
sum is taken by the vendor in part payment for the
estate, and as 2,000 shares have been already sub-
scribed by the directors, only 8,00 shares are now
offered to the public. The property in question i<
situated near Chesterfi-ld, is intersected by the
Midland Railway, and comprises 171) acres of arabl,
land, and covers 3,50 acros of mineral strata, con
taining six seams of coal and three beds of iror,-
stone. The plant and machinery are also included
in the purchase, and the colifenes are capable 0
pro4ucing Upwards of 5(4) tons of coal per da, ,
while the sale of ironstone, the worki'ls of which
has only recently been commenced, exceech, 300 ton,
per week.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. RellitS were
at 68f. sc. to 68f, Very flat,
Operations in the English Stock Market this
morning have been limited, and as a consequencr,
when business is restricted and a few sales an-
eff,cted, quotations recede. The decline up to the
present moment represents 4 per cent.,Consols being

Business in the Foreign Market is rather active,
and prices of nearly all the principal securities has
declined; the most important movement is the fall
in the Confederate Loan, which is now 4 to 31 dis-
Count owing to the bad news from he seat of war.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
very dull, and a slight decline has taken place in
values. Caledonian and South Eastern have re-
ceded about 10s., and Great Eastern, Brighton and
North Western 58.
For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been a very limited enquiry, and quotations
Show little change of importance.
