ONES' MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is a fair demand for money in the general
discount market this morning, and the tendency of
the rates is described as a shade easier. No quot•
able change, however, has taken place, and 31 and
4 per cent. are the general charges for first class
three months' bills.

The Bank of England return compiled to Wed-
nesday last shows few alterajions of general im-
portance. The other securities, which represent
the discount operaticns of the authorities, have
been reduced, while the bullion, on the other hand,
exhibits only a sma;l increase. Aunc.ced are the
particulars :

A further sum of £63,000, in gold, was taken
into the Bank yesterday.
The Hammonia, from New York, has brought
£3,285. _ _

At a meeting of the creditors of William Shep-
pard, of Park Mills, Ware, miller and maltster, it
was resolved that Mr. Sheppard should execute a
deed of assignment for the benefit of his creditors,
and the following gentlemen were appointed
trustees—Millis Coventry, Henry Edward Wright,
and George Rcfrey.
The operations in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets during the last few days have been
rather extensive. Sugars have been in good de-
mand, at slightly enhanced prices, while coffee fully
sustained former values, and there has been an ad-
vance in the quotations of cocoa. At the public
sales of tea prices were about id. per lower, while
a dull tone has prevailed in the tallow market, the
rates tending downwards for present and forward
delivery.

Two O'CLOCK.
Nothing has occurred this morning to disturb
the quietude and inactivity now so long experiencd
in the market for the English Funds. Very little
real business is in progress, and speculators seem
adverse to operate to any material extent. Consols
remain at 93 4 for money, and at 931 for the
account. The New Threes and Reduced Annui-
ties are 931 4 ; Bank Stock is 238 240; India 5
per Cent. Loan, 1084 ; the Enfaced 5 per Cent.,
107 a ; and the Debentures, 100. Exchequer Bills
are ls. dis. to 2s, prem.

A firmer tone has prevailed in the Foreign
Market, and business is moderately active. Turkish
6 per Cents., 1858, are 725 Y ; Ditto 1862, 685 69;
Ditto Consolides have risen to 495 50; Mexican
are 383 5 ; Spanish Passive, 345 5 ; Internal ditto,
275 275 ; Ditto Certificates, 125 9 ; Greek, 335 3;
Ditto Coupons, 155 16 ; Portuguese, 485 5 ; Egyp-
tian, 104 105; Russian, 925 93; Italian, 713 72;
and the Confederate Loan remains at 29 27 dis.
The operations in the Railway Shale Alarket
have been moderately active, and prices have shown
an upward movement. North-Western and Mid-
land have improved 53.; North-Eastern (York)
and South-Eastern, 10s.; and Great Western, £l.
Great Eastern A Stock, however, has receded ss.
Ia the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
is no change of importance to record.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue inac-
tive, and few variations have been apparent in
values. Oriental Bank have declined to 571 ; Bank
of Australasia have improved to 771 ; Crystal
Palace Stock is quoted 4011; Hudson Bay Com-
pany Shares, 2; International Financial, 9; and
Crtdit and Finance, 31.
