COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
A further increase of business is reported to•day
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 Eogland, 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 Elora, which leaves to-morrow for Bom-
bay, will convey -P132,020 in silver, and £7,500 in
gold.

the Bank yesterday, but 100,000 sovereigns were

discount from 3f to 3 per cent.

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 for both present and future
delivery have tended downwards.
