KONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A quiet demand for money is reported in the
discount market to-day, and there is no alteration
IA he quotations.

Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about £461,000, and the exports .£708,000.
The continental exchanges yesterday afternoon
were generally without alteration, and rates on
Paris and Hamburg, however, were slightly
lower.

The directors of the British and American Ex-
change Banking Corporation have made a call of
£3 per share, payable on the 24th proximo.
The following, with regard to the tea, &c„ duties,
is extracted from Messrs. Joseph Travers and Sons'
circular :—" The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
having presented a memorial to the Chancellor of
the Exchquer, praying that Government would
take into consideration the tea, coffee, and sugar
duties, with a view to a material reduction of the
same, Mr. Gladstone has forwarded a reply, giving
the assurance that if, in the present or any future
Year, the balance of revenue and charge shall appear
to be such as to allow of any reduction, the taxes
on the great articles of consumption immediately
connected with the comfort and well-being of the
r"°Ple will have a due share of the attention of her
elegy's Government.'"
4t Paris this morning, according to Reuter's
telegram, French Rentes were 69f. 60c., 69f. 65c.,
