COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is very little change in the general aspect
of monetary affairs, the demand for discount ac-
commodation, although not quite so extensive as
last week, being of an active character. There is
a rather better supply of capital in the hands of the
brokers, but 4 per cent. is still charged for the best
short-dated bills.

The only bullion operation of importance at the
Bank on. Saturday was a withdrawal of 25,000

sovereigns.
The Wave of Life, from 'Melbourne, has brought
XISO,OBB.

The suspension is reported of Messrs. Levy Bro-
thers and Co., in the Californian trade.
The balance of the New Zealand Loa❑ offered by
the Bank of New Zealand was taken up on Satur-
day at prices ranging to £5 lls. prem. No tenders
at the minimum were accepted, and a much larger
amount was offered than required.

The accounts from most of the manufacturing
districts last week were rather less satisfactory.
Cloths and yarns at Manchester exhibited an ad-
vance in price, owing to the tenor of the American
advices. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Brad-
ford, and Huddersfield, there was less activity,
consequent upon the cessation of the winter demand.
In the hosiery departments of Leicester and
Nottingham, however, increased activity prevailed,
while business in the hardware districts of
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton re-
mained without change of importance.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele
gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 70c,
67f. 85c.—Firm, animated.

Increased depression prevails in the English
Stock Market, and a few sales have produced a
decline of 8 per cent, Consols being 93i 1- for
money and account. The Reduced Annuities
are 91.1 ; and India. 5 per Cants., 108,1 6.
General depression has prevailei in the Foreign
Market, but the chief feature has been the fall in
Mexican of 1-1, viz., to 441 g, upon the reply of the
Archduke Maximilian, which has produced sales.
Turkish 6 per Ceuts., 1862, are 701 714 ; do.,
Consolides, 531 54 ; Greek, 3 7 g ; Spanish Pas-
sive, 35,4 a ; do., Certificates, 131 141 ; Portuguese,
494 ; Russian, 93 I ; Venezuelan, 62 ; and the
Confederate Loan, 24 to 22 die.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been very limited, and prices have shown rather
less firmness. Great Eastern, Great Western, North
Western, and South Eastern have each declined 55.,
and London and Brighton, 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have also re-
mained inactive, without material change in values.
In Bank and Miscellaneous Shares the operations
have been rather numerous, and prices in most in-
stances exhibit steadiness.

r,EXTRAORDINARY EMBEZZLEMENT CASE.--
toatti
7•1,, uel Hey Parker, a clerk, who disappeared after
I,R been entrusted with £2,500 of his employers' money
for
ba'll'ing purposes, has written from Birmingham to the
firm in Liverpool—to the crukier and to a fellow clerk—
encl'einß a 4500 note in each letter. In his letter to the
" governors" he states that he intends to retain £l,OOO to
defray hie ea
in.
—.B expenses on a tour of pleasure, first in Wales and
America. It is not unlikely, however, that
if he entertains such intentions they may be speedily frus-
trated by the po •
Ilee, who are at present making the most
searching inquiry.
