COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The discount market is quiet, with a steady
business at previous quotations.
The suspension of Messrs. J. F. Figge and Co.,
merchants and warehousemen, of Gutter-lane,
Cheapside, was announced yesterday evening. The
liabilities of the firm are stated to be between
£35,000 and £40,000, but the assets are supposed
to be nearly sufficient to meet that amount. the
books have been placed in the hands of Messrs.
Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co.
A further sum of £24,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
There was no material alteration in the foreign
exchanges yesterday afternoon.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 32c.
Firm.
A rise of per cent. has been recorded this morn-
ing in the English Funds. This improvement has
been due to the receipt of better prices from Paris,
and the encouraging accounts from the agricultural
districts relative to the prospects of the harvest.
Consols are now quoted 92; 93 for money, and 934
for the September account. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 92; 931 ; India 5 per Cent.
Loan continues firm at 108 k 8 ; and the 5 per Cent.
Enfaced Paper, at 1078; the Bonds are 16s. prem.;
and Exchequer Bills are ls. die. to 2s. prem.

flatter. North Eastern (Berwick) have receded ss. ;

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of old English wheat on sale here to-day was
very moderate. Good and fine samples changed hands
slowly, at Monday's currency, but inferior parcels were
neglected. There were a few samples of new produce
56son
offer, in which transactions were effected at from 50s to
Per quarter.
There was a good show of samples of foreign wheat on
the stands. All descriptions met a slow sale, and Monday's
Currency was barely supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at about
stationary prices,
New
rye was quoted at 35s to 37s per quarter.
The supply of barley was very moderate, yet the demand
ruled inactive, on former terms,
In
rates. malt a fair average business was transacted at late

Oats—the supply of Which was tolerably large—sold
heavily, on rather easier terms.
Beans moved off slowly at previous quotations. Peas
ruled inactive at late rates.
No change took plate in the value either of English or
foreign flour, but the inquiry
was far from extensive.

WHITECHAPEL.

The supply of meat is by no means extensive, yet the
trade rules inactive, as follows :
Beef, 2s 6d to 4s 03; mutton, 3s Od to 4s 4d; lamb, 4e
6d to 5s 4d ; veal, 3s 4d to 4s 4d ; and pork, 3s 4d to 4B 4d

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille
pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling, On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 13
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
,
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling.
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
4 lOthi per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg,
