COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLoCK.
The demand for money continues on a Moderate
scale, the requirements for the agricultYrral districts
being large, as usual at this period bf the year, and
the rates for best three months' bills 34 per cent.
Although a considerable quantity of gold was
sent into the Bank of England during the week
ending 'Wednesday IP..st the Gazette return, com-
pleted to that period, only shows a small addition
to the metallic reserves, while the notes have also
been trenehea upon to some extent. These alte-
rations are partly attributable to the necessary ex-
penditure in the agricultural districts on account of
the harvest. There is a falling off in the other secu-
rities, owing to the large number of bills which
arrived at maturity on the 4th, and the successful
competition of the joint stock and private firms for
the bills brought into circulation. Annexed is our
usual analysis
