MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the general discount market the rates remain
as at the close of last week. Instances are recorded
of three months' bills being negotiated at 74 per
cent., but 71- and 8 per cent. are the more general
quotations in the open market. The available sup-
plies largely exceed the current requirements for
raereantile and other purposes, and were it not for
the prospect of considerable exports of gold and
Silver, reactionary symptomf., would no doubt ere
this have been experienced.
The adv:ces received this morning respecting
the progress of trade in the manufacturing dis-
tricts report a more cheerful tone in all departments
of business. At Manchester the depression which
followed the advance in the value of money
has partly disappeared, and manufacturers are
again falling back on the high quotations
which recently prevailed. The enquiry for wool
at Bradford was rather large, and at Huddersfield
Slight improvement was also noticeable in the
Woollen market. At Leeds and Halifax, however,
the transactions negotiated were on a limited
Scale, but at Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and Bir-
mingham trade was brisk, and the high rate of
discount had but very slightly checked operations.
The Norfolk, from Melbourne, has brought
X 236,524.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning (according to Mr. Reuter's
telegrams) French Rentes were 67.50. Very firm.
There has not been much animation to-day in the
market for the English Funds, speculation being
411, while the operations for bona
,fide transfer are
t°o much restricted to create activity. Some sales
Were negotiated early in the day, which led to a
fractional decline, but the quotations have since
rallied, Consols being 90i 91 for money, and after
being 911 11,-, they are now 914 I for the account.

32k 33k; ditto Certificates, 13-1 d ; and the Confe-
derate Loan, 36 38.
In the Railway Share Market the arrange-
ments for the settlement occupy the chief attention
of the dealers and speculators, and prices in some
instances show rather more firmness. South EaEtern
have improved 10s. ; Great Western, North
Western, and South Western, ss. ; while London
and Blackwall have declined 10s.; and Metropo-
litan, 10s.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
been very inactive, and show little change of im-
portance in values.

Bank aid Miscellaneous shares remain without
izaterial alteration.
