MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
There is a full inquiry for money in discount
circles, and very little business can be transacted
under the Bank of England minimum—viz., 4 per
cent. The settlements at the Stock Exchange are
exercising a temporary influence, and the market
Will now probably continue firm and active until
after the liquidation of the mercantile bills, due on
the 4th proximo.
The Bank of England return for the week, to
Wednesday, last shows some favourable move-
ments, especially as regards the discounts, bullion,
and notes in reserve. The following are the par-
ticulars :

During the last few days there has been a fair
amount of business transacted in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Market. Sugars have fully
maintained their late advance, while tea, coffee, and
cocoa have been in moderate request at fully mode-
rate rates. Rice, however, has declined, while the
tallow market has continued exceedingly dull, few
transactions either for present or forward delivery
having been reported.

The offictal returns relating to trade and naviga-
tion for the seven months ended the 31st July have
just been _published. From these it appears that
the total value of the exports from the
United Kingdom during that period amounted
to £75,663,037, against £69,446,480 in the like
period of 1862, showing an increase of £6,216,557.
The increase has been most perceptible in beer
and ale, cotton manufactures, earthenware, haber-
dashery and millinery, hardwares, linen manufac-
tures, and woollen and worsted yarn.
The imports of the principal articles have been
larger, as regards raw cotton, sheep and lambs'
wool, cocoa, coffee, sugar, tea, timber, tobacco, and
wine.

The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in
the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign
trade for both the entries inwards and the clear-
ances outwards, as is also the case with the
coasting trade.

About £130,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

The Shannon has arrived from the West Indies
'with £464,573.

while Brighton have receded £1; Lancashire and
