TIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Bank of France has raised its rate of dis-
count from 6 to 7 per cent., and the quotations at
Amsterdam has been carried from 4 to 4-1 per cent.
Aeorresponding announcement is expected in some
other continental cities, and considerable interest is
felt with regard to the future couree of monetary
aff
a'ra in this country. Many imagine that the
Bank of England directors would have altered their
regulations to the extent of 1 per cent. this morn-
ing, but no such change has occurred, and the dis-
count marked is now quieter in consequence. Busi-
ness, however, is refused, except at full quotations,
further
dscounters show an inclination to await the
progress of events rather than lock up the
capital at their command on the present terms,
When others of a more remunerative character may
shortly prevail.
The Bank of England return, for the week
ending Wednesday last, is less unfavourable than
had been generally predicted. The bullion has
been reduced, but there is an increase in the re-
serves, and the discount operations of the establish-
ment have been augmented only to a moderate
extent.

The Bank of France return, just completed for
the past month, shows a dtcline in the bullion
amounting to £2,680, and an increase of £2,493.330
in the discounts. There is a falling off of £20,000
in the advances, and of £410,000 in the current
accounts. The notes in circulation have been aug.
tented by £520,000, and the Treasury balances
£555,500.
A large amount of specie has been announced this
Morning, the La Plata, from the West Indies,
having brought £280,000, and the Scotia, from New
York, £33,000.

During the last few days there has been rather
nmre activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. A better inquiry has prevailed for sugar,
and prices have again slightly advanced. Coffee,
however, has continued inactive. At the public
sales of tea, just concluded, full rates were gene-
rally obtained, while the operations in rice, fruit,
apices, and saltpetre, have not led to any material
change in values. The tallow market has continued
(11111, and prices for both present and forward de-
livery have slightly given way.
