MONEY MARKET.

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
In the general discount market there is no alte-
ration of importance, the demand being well main-
tained, at 3i 4 per cent. for even the best three
months' bills.

There was a general upward movement in the
Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon.
A further sum of £21,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank -<!.sterday.
Since Monday last the imports of specie amounted
to £470,000, and the exports to £338,000.
Up to the 23d July Messrs. Baring Brothers and
Co.'s agent in Venezuela had received for the bond-
holders' proportion of the customs' revenue for two
weeks, 38,151 dots. 21c. from La Guayra. Only a
small amount of the sum due from Puerto Cabello
had been received at the departure of the last mail.
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received
£1,508 14s. 10d. from the' Custom-house at Santa
Marta, on account of the New Granada dividends.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of 4'333 12s. Bd. on account of the dividends
on the Ecaador Bonda.
The following remarks upon the accumulation of
produce in the United Kingdom is from the circular
of Messrs. J. Travers and Sons :—" The accumula-
tion of produce in the various warehouses through-
out the country since the commencement of the
present year has been much larger than any one
would suppose, looking at the satisfactory ex-
tent of consumption of nearly all the principal
articles. Unfortunately, there are no data by
which to arrive at exact information on the point
except the statements which are furnished with
the returns of the imported goods held in bond as
being liable to duty. There can be little doubt,
however, that the figures in those instances may be
taken as affording a, general indication applicable
to the great mass of our trade. From these, it ap-
pears that in the first half of 1863 there has been
an increase of 156,8351 b. in our stock of cocoa, of
4,133,6381 b. in coffee, of 500,272 gallons of rum, of
356,929 gallons of brandy, of 990,118 erns. of
sugar, of 26,975 cwts of refined sugar, of
37,812 cwts, of molasses, of 9,827,3151 b. of
tea, and of 679,334 gallons of wine. To-
bacco, pepper, and fruits are the only articles of
which our stocks have experienced any redaction
since the Ist of January. So long as the American
war lasts, this state of circumstances must be ex-
pected to continue, and prices are hardly likely to
rally even though at home we are taking into use a
fair increase of nearly all those articles the consump-
tion of which denotes a state of prosperity. On the
return of peace, a rise must occur, since the deficien-
cies to be made up in America will cause orders to
be sent to all parts."

There has been no new feature in the English
Stock Market, and business has been conducted on
a very limited scale. There appears to be an
almost entire absence of speculation, and the opera-
tions for transfer are also small. Consols are 93
for money, and 93} a for the account. The New
Threes and Reduced are 934 ; Exchequer Bills,
ls. dis. to 2s. prem.; India 5 per Cents,, 1089 f;- ;
and do. Bonds, 19s. prem.; India Stock is 224;
and Bank do., 238 i.
Foreign Stocks have been quiet, and although at
one time rather lower, close with tolerable firm-
ness. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 68 I ; Ditto
Consolides, 486 491; Mexican, 38-1 ; Greek,
331 4 ; Ditto Coupons, 15 16; Spanish Passive,
34 341; Ditto Certificates, 121 6 ; and the Con-
federate Loan, 25 to 23 dis.
A moderate amount of business has been trans-
acted in the Railway Share Market to-day, and in
one or two instances prices have slightly advanced.
Great Eastern and Great Western each improved
10s.; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 65.; and South-
Eastern, 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive,
at about previous quotations.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue very
!dull. London and Westminster declined to 771.
Crystal Palace Stock is steady, at 401 3; Hudson
Bay Company Shares have improved to 3 ;1,,- ; and
international Financial ditto to Bi.
