MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the general discount market the rates remain
as at the close of last week. Instances are recorded
of three months' bills being negotiated at 71 per
cent., but 7i and 8 per cent. are the more general
quotations in the open market. The available sup-
plies largely exceed the current requirements •for
Mereactile and other purposes, and were it not for
the prospect of considerable exports of gold and
ell Per, reactionary symptoms would no doubt ere
this have been experienced.
The advices received this morning respecting
the progress of trade in the manufacturing dis-
tricts report a more cheerful tone in all departments
of business. At Manchester the depression which
followed the advance in the value of money
has partly disappeared, and manufacturers are
again falling back on the high quotations
which recently prevailed. The enquiry for wool
at Bradford was rather largo, and at Huddersfield
a slight improvement was also noticeable in the
Woollen market. At Leeds and Halifax, however,
the transactions negociated were on a limited
Scale, but at Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and Bir-
mingham trade was brisk, and the high rate of
discount had but very slightly checked operations.

The Norfolk, from Melbourne, has brought
£230,524.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning (according to Mr. Reuter's
telegrams) French Rentes were 67.50. Very firm.

There has not been much animation to-day in the
Market for the English Funds, speculation being
dull, while the operations for bona fide transfer are
too much restricted to create activity. Some sales
Were negotiated early in the day, which led to a
fractional decline, but the quotations have since
rallied, Consols being 901 91 for money, and after
being 911 1. they are now 911 1 for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 901
911 ; Bank stock is 235 to 237, and Exchequer
lls. to 7s. dis. India 5 per Cents. remain at
1081 ; do. 4 per Cents., 100/ ; the Enfaced 5 per
Cents., 1031 ; and the Bonds, Bs. dis.

There has been more buoyancy in the Foreign
Market, but there is not much activity. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1862, are 701 ; ditto Consolides, ;
Greek, 26 4 ; ditto Coupon, 12 / ; Spanish Passive,
32i 331 ; ditto Certificates, 131 a ; and the Confe-
derate Loan, 36 38.
In the Railway Share Market the arrange-
ments for the settlement occupy the chief attention
of the dealers and speculators, and prices in some
instances show rather more firmness. South EaEtern
have improved 10s. ; Great Western, North
Western, and South Western, ss. ; while London
and Blackwall have declined 10s.; and Metropo-
litan, 10s.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have
been very inactive, and show little change of im-
portance in values.

Bank aid Minellaneous shares remain without
Material alteration.
