XONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCE.

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 44 per cent.
A corresponding announcement is expected in some
other continental cities, and considerable interest is
felt with regard to the future course of monetary
affairs in this country. Many
imagine that the
ink of England direetors would have altered their 33
regulations to the extent of I per cent. this morn-
ing, but no such change has occurred, and the dis-
count marked is now quieter inconsequence. Busi-
ness, however, is refused, except at full quotations,
and discounters show an inclination to await the
furth.er 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 decline 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-
mented 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
Inure 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,
spices, and saltpelre, have not led to any material
change in values. The tallow market has continued
dull, and prices for both present and forward de-
livery have slightly given way,

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Routes
Were 67f. 47c. 67f. 45c.—Rather firm.
The advance in the rates of discount at Paris
and Amsterdam caused the English Stock Market
to close yesterlay at a lower range of prices,
although a little more firmness was exhibited at
the last moment in consequence of higher prices
from the French Bourse. To day a much better
feeling prevails, and a few purchases have led to an
advance of about 1 per cent., Consols now being
92a I for transfer, and 91,1 1 less the dividend for
the account. The Bank of England return has
assistedin imparting greater strength to the market
The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have
been a little flitter at 901 ; Exchequer Bills are
about Bs. to 4s, discount ; Indian 5 per Cents 1082+
and the Enfaced ditto, 1051. India Stock is 224.
There is a decidedly better feeling in the Foreign
Stock Market, and an almost general upward
movement has taken place in prices. Turkish 6

In the Railway Share Market business has been
dull, and in some instances prices show less firm
ness. North-Western and South-Eastern have
declined 55.; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin-
coln, and Midland, 10s.; Caledonian, however,
have improved 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain
without material alteration.
Bank Shares are heavy. Alliance of London
and Liverpool have declined to 45 I, and Union of
Australia to 561 ; London and Westminster are
quoted 79, and London Joint Stock, 36+ 37.
In the Miscellaneous Market Discount Corpora-
tion shares have receded to 91 10, and International
Financial to 9.
