COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

An active demand for money during the past
few days has not at all abated, and but few first-
class bills are connquently negotiated under the
Bank of England minimum, viz., 4 per cent. This
inquiry will, no doubt, be maintained for another
fortnight, when the Government dividends for July
Will be paid, which will considerably add to the
resources at the disposal of bankers and discounters.
A further sum of £5,000 in gold was purchased
by the Bank authorities yesterday.

Finance Company, dealings in which are to be
officially recorded.
During the last few days there has not been much
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugar has in some instances been rather
cheaper. Coffee, rice, and cocoa have remained at
about previous quotations, while saltpetre has been
dull. In the tallow market the operations for both
present and forward delivery have been on a very
limited scaie, consequent upon the progress of poli-
tical events in Poland.

telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were

A further decline of s per cent. has taken place
