MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Discount Market continues very steady, with
a fair amount of business. Four per cent. seems to
be the general rate for three months' paper, al-
though occasional business is negotiated on frac-
tionally easier terms.
A further supply of gold, amounting to £60,000,
was sent on Saturday to the Bank of England, and
a further influx is expected during the current
week.

The advices respecting trade in the manufatur-
Ing districts continue encouraging. Manchester
has had on hand large orders for India and China,
and manufacturers have refused to transact busi-
ness, except at advanced quotations. For woollen,
linen, and flax goods a brisk demand has been ex-
perienced at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield.
Business in the hardware departments of Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton has also been very 'active, the
principal orders being from the agricultural dis-
tricts, and from foreign governments for gun metal
armour plates, 8:c.

Little, if any,
alteration can be noted
i in con-
nection with the progress of business n the Eng-
lish Stock market. The transactions continue on
the same limited scale as for some time past, and
they do not exercise any apparent influence upon
the quotations beyond affording them support.
Consols continue at 938 4 for money, and at 931
for the account. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 931 and Exchequer Bills are is. die.

Enfaced 5,1. per Cents., 1164
Some of the Foreign Stocks slightly declined soon
after the commencement of business, but there is
now a firmer tone. Turkish Consolides have risen
to 54 ; do., 1858 loan, to 728 ; and the 1862
issue, to 687 691 ; Greek have likewise advanced to
317 ; and the Coupons arc 161 9, There has been
a rise of about 1 per cent. in the Confederate Loan,
which is now 25 23 die.; Spanish Passive have been
dealt in at 34 I ; the Italian do. have remained at
271; 7:; and the Certificates are flat at 12,1 I.
Transactions have also taken place in Equador New
Consolidated at 14, and in Danish, 1825, Loan,
851 ; Egyptian 7 per Cents. are higher, at 104?,-
and Portuguese are also firm at 481; Venezuelan
3 per Cents. continue at 241 ; Russian Securities
are rather lower, the loan of 1850 being marked
89, and that of 1862, 9214; Italian 5 per Cents.
are flit at 718.
In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been limited, a firmer tone, however, has in some
instances prevailed. North Western have improved
10s., and North Eastern (Berwick) and South
Eastern ss. ; while Caledonian and Great Western
have each receded about ss.

For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
has been a very limited inquiry, and quotations
are unaltered.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares in several in-
stances are a shade firmer. Buenos Ayres and
River Plate have advanced 58.; London and
County, ss. ; Hudson's Bay Company skates are
quoted 3 s ; and General Credit and Finance,
