COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK,

The demand for.money is rather active, and ful
rates are required for the negotiation of nommen
eial bills.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £110,300, and the exports to £622,00.

In the foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon
there was no material alteration.

The receipts on the Great Western Railway of
Canada for the week ending the 24th April
amounted to £10,983, being £1,147 more than
last year.

In anticipation of the full prospectus of the Im-
perial Royal Privileged Union Bank of Austria, a
circular has been issued with the principal outlines
of the concession granted by the Government for
the establishment of the bank, and the means on
which the directors rely for its successful work-
ing. Austria, since the Italian war, has approached
nearer to Englishmen's ideas of constitutional go-
vernment than any other of her continental neigh-
bours, and in keeping with this progress in her
political system she has lately been engaged in rec-
tifying her finances, and in order fully to attain
this object the Legislature has passed an act for the
resumption of cash payments founded on principles
identical with those governing the Bank of Eng-
land. This important financial reform encourages
the directors not unreasonably to anticipate that
the future commercial operations of Austria must
be placed on a sounder basis. The capital that will
be required for the bank is £2,000,000, three-
fourths of which are stated to have been already
subscribed.

The directors of the Port Philip and Colonial
Gold Mining Company have received, by telegram
from Suez, the following advices, in anticipation of
the Australian mail, from their resident director,
Mr. Bland, at Melbourne, giving the result of the
month of February last :—Quantity of quartz
crushed, 3,038 tons; yield per ton—gold, 10dwt.
19 grains ; receipts, £2,750; payments, £1,740;
profits, £1,010; remittances, £l,OOO.

Two O'CLOCK.

There has been very little animation to-day in the
market for the English Funds, and the tendency of
'mines has been rather unfavourable, Consols having
receded to 93?-i 4 for money, and to 92,1 1„ less the
dividend, for the 9th prox. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 911- 92 ; Bank Stock has
been marked 233; India 5 per Cents. are 1094 110;
and Exchequer Bills have been dealt in at par.
There has been less animation in the Foreign
Market, and prices have not been so buoyant.

There has been rather more firmness in the
Railway Share Market, and prices in one or two
instances have slightly improved. Great Easterns
have advanced 55.; Lancashire and Yorkshire and
Midlands, 10s. ; and London and Brighton, .E.l ;
Great Northerns, however, have given way 10s.
In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been no material variation.
