ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Continued firmness prevails in the rates of dis-
count in the general money market, 3-'1 and 4 per
cent, being the lowest charges for the negotiation
of even the finest three months' bills; the demand
is moderate.

About £31,000 in gold, was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £558,700, and the exports to £330,000.

There was no material alteration in the foreign
exchanges yesterday afternoon.
The third series of public sales of colonial wool
which commenced on the 16th July were brought
to a close yesterday. The quantity offered
amounted to 106,433 bales.; there was a good at-
tendance of both home and foreign buyers, and the
rates realised were fully equal to those current at
the previous auctions in May and June.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentea were
67f. 60c.—heavy.
At the commencement of business in the English
Stock market this morning there was a decline of
per cent. upon a few sales, but a recovery has
since taken place, and Consols, which were 93
for money, and 931 a for the account, are now 931 /
and 93/ respectively. There is very little business
in progress, owing in a great measure to the limited
number of members present. The New Threes are

have shown a slight decline. Great Western
