COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
In the general discount market this morning
there is rather less inquiry for money, but having
regard to the future prospects 'of financial Effairs
brokers are unwilling to discount 3 months' paper
under 4 per cent.

About £42,000 in gold was bought by the Bank
authorities yesterday, and in the absence of any
demand for the continent further larger amounts
are expected to be taken into that establishment.
The bar silver by the Tasmanian has been dis-
posed of at ss, lid. per ounce standard.

telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
69f. 25e. Heavy.
The English Stock Market presents a dull and
depressed appearance. Some few purchases early
in the morning were effected at the quotations cur-
rent yesterday, but upon sales they gave way per
cent., and Consols are, therefore, now marked
91-: 2 for money, and 91/ .92 for the July account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities remain at
91/H ; Exchequer Bills are now 4s. die., and Bank
Stock is quoted 234. Dealings in India Stock have
taken piste at 231 233 ; the 5 per Cent. Loan is
marked 107/ 108; the Debentures are 100 and
the Bonds 108. to 14s. prem.

Jn the Foreign Market, to-day, the most impor-
tant feature bas been the increased buoyancy of
Greek Bonds, which have been as high as 39, and
are now 38 or I higher than on the previous after-
noon. The Coupons have also risen 4, being 181, 19.

tinue depressed. Caledonian, Great Western, South
Western, and South Eastern have each declined 55.,
and London, Chatham, and Dover, £2.
The foreign and Colonial lines remain very inac-
tive, without any material change in prices.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about i per raille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.221 per Al sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. Hid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 2-10ths l er cent. dealer in London than in Paris.
By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.5} per Al sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
4-10 tbs per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 160 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 46 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.
