3ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Business in discount circles is still reported
active, with undiminished firmness in the quota-
tions, the supplies of money in the hands of the
dealers being comparatively moderate.
About £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
on Saturday.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the past week are again of a satisfactory charac-
ter. At Manchester there has been a fair amount
of business in cloths and yarns, at previous prices.
In tho woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hud-
dersfield, the principal inquiry has been for autumn
and winter fabrics, which have changed hands to
some extent. Business in the hosiery and lace
departments at Leicester and Nottingham continued
active, and there has been a more cheerful tone in
the hardware districts—viz., at Birmingham, Shef-
field, and Wolverhampton.

Two O'CLOCK,

At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter'a
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
691. 20e. for account.

Very few operations have taken place to-day in
the market for Consols, which, however, are a little
firmer at 93,, ;for money, and 93y 94 for the
October account. There is not the slightest
feature of novelty in this department of
the House, nor does there appear to be the
least prospect of business, notwithstanding
the speculative activity of the foreign market.
Transactions have taken place in the New Threes at
924 K, and the Reduced Annuities 924 1; India
5 per Cents., 108! ; and Exchequer Bills, par to
28. prem.

The most important features in the Foreign
Market to-day is the decline in the Confederate
Loan, upon the information by the China, and the
rise in Mexican, owing to numerous purchases; the
former, which has been 35 to 33 dis., is now 31 to
29 discount, or 3 per cent. lower than on Friday,
and the latter has advanced 11, viz., to 421.

In the Railway Share Market business has been
rather inactive, and few changes of importance can
be reported in prices. Great Western and Metro•
P°litan, however, have each improved about 10s.,
While North-Eastern (Berwick) have declined ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines generally main-
tain previous rates.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continued inac-
tive. City Bank, however, improved to 1021; Bank
of Australasia to 77-1, ; while London and West-
Minster declined to 781. Crystal Palace stock re-
mains steady at 391; General Credit and Finance
is marked 4d ; Egyptian Trading Company, 31 t-;
'Judson's Bay Company, 9,-1 -1; and International
Financial, 10,1 I.

Among the passengers on board the steamer
Sahel, which was recently lost on the coast of Catalonia,
were six sisters of charity. When assistance came to the
vessel they were requested to go into the first boat,but
With an admirable spirit of e.bneration and Christian cha-
rity they refused, saying, " First save the other women,
children, and every one else ; we shall be the last tp quit
the vessel."
