ItCONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The inquiries for discount accommodation in the
general market continue very moderate, and as boll,
Lre negotiable there on terms ranging as low as 31
per cent, the demand at the Bank of England is
very much reduced.
There is still a regular influx of gold into the
Bank of England, £30,000 having been taken there
on Saturday, and it is generally thought that the
large quantities received from America, in additio❑
to the Australian and other supplies, will ensure a
continuance of the movement.
There has been rather more business transacted
in the corn market to-day, and the quotations have
tended upwards.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
last week represent that business in some respects
has been more satisfactory. At Manchester prices
of both cloths and yarns have been fully main-
tained. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and
Huddersfield has, however, shown less activity,
while in the hosiery and lace departments at Lei-
cester and Nottingham there has been little change.
In the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham,
Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, a more cheerful
tone has prevailed.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris BourBe this day, according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
70f. 40c. to 70f. 35c.

There is no improvement to report as regards
speculative business in the market for Public Secu-
rities; but, notwithstanding the prevailing inac-
tivity, prices indicate buoyancy. Consols are I
per cent, higher, viz., 92a I for money, and 924
for account. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 911, and Exchequer Bills 3s. dis. to
par. Transactions have taken place in Indian 5
per Cents. at 1091 ; ditto; En faced 5 per Cents.,
1074 108; ditto 52 per CentE., 115.
A remarkable degree of activity still pervades
the foreign department, owing to the extensive
speculation in Turkish Consolides, Greek Bonds,
the Confederate Loan, and Spanish Securities.
Upon the whole the buoyancy so recently no-
ticed is well kept up, and there appears to be no
disposition to contract operations. The account
is now in course of adjustment, and this necessarily
absorbs the principal attention of the members.
Turkish Consolides have advanced to 488 and
they are now firm at those quotations, being
higher than they were on Saturday afternoon. The
Turkish 6 per Cents. of 1858 are 68 684, and
th',se of 1862 694 70, showing little altera-
tion. The Confederate Loan has been a little
firmer, namely, 1-1 2 prem., and the latest
prices are 14 2 prem. The upward movement in
Spanish Passive has continued, business being re-
corded at 29i 1, while the Certificates are 10i t,
or higher. A little flatness has been apparent in
the Greek market ; the Bonds are 28 a ; the
Coupons, 13 k. Portuguese, 1562, are 471 ; and
Russian 958 96.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather dull, the dealers and speculators being chiefly
occupied with the arrangements for the liquida-
tions. Prices, however, in some instances exhibit
rather more firmness.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain at about
previous quotations.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
in one or two instances at slightly enhanced quota-
tions.
