CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is no alteration in the general appearance
of the discount market, the inquiries being steadily
maintained, while the rates continue easy.
A supply of gold, amounting to £90,000, was
taken into the Bank of England.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £772,000, and the exports to only
£160,000.

Notwithstanding the large number of joint-stock
companies lately introduced, many others arc in
course of formation, and, if respectably constituted,
they are likely to meet with support, the public
being still disposed to effect investments on a large
scale.

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this morning, the French 3
per Cent. Rentes, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, were 69f. 65c. Firm, in consequence of the
rise in English Funds.
Further indications of buoyancy have prevailed
to•day in the market for the English Funds, owing
to continued speculation for an advance. Consols
have been dealt in to some extent at 931: for trans-
fer and the 7th prox., and 93:17 for June, and they
have closed with firmness at those quotations. The
New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have risen
to 911 92, and Exchequer Bills continue firm at ss.
to Bs. prem. Bank Stock has been marked 235,
and business has taken place in Indian 5 per Cents.
at 109,1 110.
