ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The discount market is firm to-day, the inquiry
for accommodation having been a little more press-
ing. The settlement at the Stock Exchange has
partly occasioned the activity now noticeable, but
There is no doubt that the uncertain and unsatisfac-
tory state of affairs at Paris is the principal cause,
and a more cautious policy is, therefore, adopted
here. Three months' bills are negotiable at 31,
Per cent, and it is only in exceptionab:e instances
that the concession to 31- per cent. is granted.
The Bank of England Return for the week to
Wednesday last shows changes which are not of
great importance. The decrease which has taken
place the reserves of gold is partly negatived by
the reduction effected in the circulation of notes, as
Well as in the discount business of the establish-
lrient• Subjoined is our usual analysis

the elosu to 125,000, whereas 10,000 only are to be

The elleged charges against four brokers of the
Sock Exchange for carrying on speculative trans-
actions for a clerk in a mercantile firm, contrary to
the rules of the house, have been adjudicated by
the committee of that establishment. One of the
parties was honourably acquitted of all olame, two
othoes were censured for not using greater precau-
tion,, and the complaint against the fourth ad-
jour red for further investigation.
T b e operations on the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duct) Markets during the last few days have been
moderately active. Sugar has fully supported pre-
vious rates. Coffee and rice has been in fair
req Jest, while in cocoa, fruit, and spices there has
bee,e no material change to record in values. The
tallow market has been more active, and quotations
of -P.Y.C. for both present and forward delivery
exl.'init an upward tendency.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rmter's
tele gram, the French 3 per Cant. Ratites were
67f. 05c. Very firm.

T'he English Stock Market exhibits great inac-
tivity and heaviness. The depressed state of the
Rentes, and the incertitude respecting the Bank of
France adds to the flatness inseparable from the
trat isacting of only a limited business. Consols are
93 4- for money and account. The New Threes and
P.eciuced Annuities are 91Z and Exchequer
Bills are ls. dia. to 2s. prem. ; India Stock is 224;
the 5 per Cent. Loan continues at 1091 9; the 4
per Cent. Loan, 1001; the Enlaced Paper, 106/ ;
and. the Bonds are 225. prem.
In the Foreign Market there is no new feature
of importance, and business is not very active.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 921 93 ; do , 1858,

More animation has prevailed in the Railway
Share Market, and jprices have, in most instances,
shown an upward movement. Caledonian and
South Western have improved 55.; West Midland,
London, Chatham and Dover, Midland, and South
Eastern, 10s. ; Great Northern, £2, and ditto A
Stock, £1 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain at about
previous rates.
