ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

best three months' bills is 4 per cent., although
exceptional transactions are reported in shorter
dated paper at 37 per cent.
A further sum of £198,000 in gold was taken
into the Bank yesterday, bat £B,OOO was with-
drawn.

There was a slight upward movement in the
foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to L 705,427 and the exports to £495,000.
A meeting of the Peruvian Dollar Bondholders
has been convened for Wednesday next, to consider
what steps should be taken to obtain payment of
their bonds and coupons, in " hard dollars," in.-
stead of in the depreciated American papers now
illegally tendered.

Two O'CLOCK.

There is not the slightest alteration of importance
to report in the position of affairs in the English

very inactive at about previous rates.:
