COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Two O'CLOCK,

Considerable depression is apparent at the Stock
Exchange to-day in consequence of the advance in
the French rate of discount, and the expectation
of a farther movement in the minimum here. Sales
have been pressed, and a decline of Z per cent. has
been the result, Consols now being 9214 for money,
and 91 less the dividend, for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced have receded to 904 t-
for the former, and to 901 for the latter. Ex-
chequer Bills are very heavy at 78. to 2s. die.
A general decided decline has taken place in the
Foreign Market, and business is dull. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1858, have receded to 69f, 70 ; ditto,
1862, to 70,1 71 ; ditto Consolilies, to 48k ; Mexi-
can to 394 404-,'; Greek to 301 ; ditto Coupons to
144 15; Spanish Passive to 341. 4 ; and the Con-
federate Lou, to 62 64.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been of the most limited description, and prices in
most instances exhibit a further downward move-
ment. Great Eastern, North Western, and Midland
have declined
The Foreign and Colonial lines continue dull at
barely former quotations.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in limited
request, and quotations show increased depression •

NORM—Yesterday morning a deputation
ar° la Messrs. Straker and Love's collieries waited upon Mr.
at his residence Mount Beulah, near Durham, and
exQad a long conference with him respecting the differences
isting between them. The deputation did not include
anY of the delegates belonging to the union, but was ex-
cblUsively composed of'Mr. Love's own workmen, there
.reing two from Brandon, two from Oakenshaw, two
frying
Brancepeth, and two from each of the pits at
&unnybrow. The discussion on both sides was charac-
terised by the greatest good feeling and cordi-
ality, and Mr, Love acceded to the wishes of the

to reeommend to the acceptance of their fellow-workmen the
terms on which in their view the strike should cease. There
van be little doubt that the bulk of the men will cheerfully
legniesce in the judicious course adopted by the representa-
ives) and we may, therefore, safely pronounce the strike to
e partook at an end. The members of the deputation afterwards

CITY, TWELVE o'CLoci.
The minimum rate of discount of the Bank of
France has been raised from sto 6 per cent. This
movement was generally expected, but the precise
period of its adoption could not, of course, be accu-
rately estimated. The next movement is likely to
be a further advance in the minimum of the Bank
of England.

A further withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns took
Place from tho Bank yesterday.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the
rates Were generally rather higher.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £698,600, and the exports to £654,000.
