COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The minimum rate of discount of the Bank of
Pranco has been raised from sto 6 per cent. This
nieventent 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 the 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.

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 7, par cent. has
been the result, Consols now being 9211 for money,
and 91 1, less the dividend, for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced have receded to 900
for the former, and to 90',1, 1. for the latter. Ex-
chequer Bills are very heavy at 7s. 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 69k 70 ; ditto,
1862, to 70k 71 ; ditto Consolidei, to 481 Mexi-
can to 391 401'; Greek to 304- ; ditto Coupons to
14415; Spanish Passive to 341 ; and the Con-
federate Loar: to 62 61.
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 •

tensed by the greatest good feeling and cordi-

m e
ality, and Mr. Love
acceded to the wishes of the -
en to have six tubs filled in the face of the workings at
each pit, and have them weighed in the presence of the -
hulk of the workmen on the pit heap. The average of these -
tubs will then be taken as the standard weight, and no tub is
to be confiscatediwhich is within 561bs of that standard. This
With the other concessions already announced, the depute- Erlsl
on expressed themselves fully satisfied with, and promised
it° recommend to the acceptance of their fellow-workmen the
1-Os on which in their view the strike should cease. There
eau be little doubt that the bulk of the men will cheerfully
t°Nniesce in the judicious course adopted by the representtao-
Les, and we may, therefore, safely pronounce the strike
et an end. The members of the deputation afterwards
partook of breakfast in Durham, at the expense of Mr. Love,
