MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A better feeling is now perceplible in the general
discount market, the measure adopted by the bank
authorities having removed much of the interest
previously manifested. It seems to be generally
thought that the restrictions now imposed will be
sufficient to correct the adverse influence lately
in operation. Discounters, consequently, show
greater willingness to transact business, and those
Who require accommodation have no difficulty
whatever in obtaining it, on first class bills, at
6=4' 6 per cent. The inquiry is tolerably active.
The weekly return issued by the authorities IL,
the Bank of England, as was predicted, is of an un
satisfactory character. The bullion has again been
reduced by £638,146, and the reserve of notes by
£743,755. The private deposits have also been
trenched upon to the eftent of £1,153,955, and the
other securities have been augmented by £316,035.

During the last few days• the operations in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have been
of a rather limited character, the advance in the
minimum rate of discount at the Bank of England
having caused a partial suspension of speculative
Operations. Sugar, however, has sustained pre•
vious rates. Coffee, at public sale, sold slowly at
barely previous prices. At the public sales of tea,
however, an advance of id. to I.d. per lb. has been
established ; while at the public sales of colonial
wool the attendance of both home and foreign
dealers has been large, and the dealings show an
advance of ld. to lid. per lb. on the rates current
at the previous auctions. The tallow market has
been more animated, and prices for both present
and forward delivery show an upward tendency.
A special extraordinary general meeting of the
directors of the Southsea Pier Hotel Company
took place this day at the offices of the company,
relative to the proposed alteration in the articles of
association which are to be submitted to a special
general meeting of the shareholders on Nov. 28.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rmter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cant. Rentes were
66f. 90c. to 67f. Oc.—Better in consequence of the
rise in London.

Before the closing of business yesterday the
Stock Exchange Market became much firmer, the
excitement subsided, and a healthier tone generally
prevailed. Further indications of a favourable
character have manifested themselves to-day,
and a degree of buoyancy prevails, instead of
the depression which previously characterised
almost every class of security. Consols are 92Z I
f°r money, and 911 less the dividend, for account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are per
cent. higher, and Exchequer Bills have recovered
to 6s. and ls. dis.

decidedly better feeling prevails in the
Foreign Market, which is very active in conse-
quence of large continental orders to purchase
nearly all the principal speculative stocks. Greek
are about 11 better, being 291 30, and the Coupons
are 11-- higher, standing at 14 15 prem. Spanish
Passive have gone up .1, viz. to 34: -I-. The Inter-
nal Passive have risen to 30 I, and the Certificates
are about 1 per cent. better, at 13a Mexican have
risen
to 40: ; and Portuguese Scrip is firm at
prem. The Confederate 14oac is heavy at
63_65.

In the Railway Share Market a.firmer tone has
Prevailed, and prices in several instances have im-
proved.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
Material variation.

Bank Shares cantinue in fair request, and prices
generally show an upward tendency.
In the Miscellanaous Market the operations have
been rather numerous, and in some instances a slight
improvement has taken place.
