COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A further increase of business is reported today
in the general discount market. Bankers and
brokers, although anxious for business, find their
available supplies very much reduced by the ad-
ditional demand for commercial and agricultural
purposes. The terms, out of doors, have, through
all these circumstance, risen to the level of the Bank
of England, and a considerable increase is reported
in the number of inquiries at that establishment.
The effect of the various influences now at work
is regarded as temporary, but they may, neverthe-
less, exert an influence, and make quotations frac-
tionally higher.
The Eilora, which leaves to-morrow for Bom-
bay, will convey £132,020 in silver, and £7,500 in
gold.

the Bank yesterday, but 100,000 sovereigns were
Withdrawn, for transmission to the Brazils.

animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugar, however, has been in fair request
at steady rates. For coffee there has been a mode-
rate inquiry, while tea, rice, and saltpetre have
been neglected. In tallow the operations have been
very limited, and prices fir both present and future
delivery have tended downwards.
