AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Exceptional transactions are reported in the
Discount Market at 31 per cent., but 4 per cent. is
still generally asked for three months' bills, and the
demand is well kept up.
A further sum of £4,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
During the last few days there has not been much
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. The dealings in tea have been suspended
until the public sales, which commence to•day,
Sugars have been in limited request at previous
prices, while coffee, rice, fruit, and spices have re-
mained without any material alteration in values.
The tallow market has baen dull, and rather lower
ratee are current for both present and forward de-
livery.

Tile first ordinary genera/ meeting of the Char -
log-cross Hotel Company was held to-day—the
Hon. James Byng in the chair. The report. which
"was unanimously adopted, stated that the directors
had obtained a lease of the site for the hotel at the
Charing-cross Railway Terminus for 1,000 years, at
a cost of £65,000. The chairman stated that Mr.
Lucas wal constructing the establishment, which
Would be completed in a short time, and in good
architectural style.
The amount of specie brought by the City of
New York from America is £90,834.

telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 55c.

reduced scale. The tendency at the latest moment
appears rather favourable, owing to the receipt of
higher prices from the Paris Bourse. Console are
