COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY 7 TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is now a very active demand for diz,couoi
accommodation in the open m•+rket at 4 per cent.
and the inquiries at the Bank of England are also
more numerous than of late. The commercial
classes are now providing for their requirements in
anticipation of the holidays, which, together with
the necessary preparation for the 4th of the month,
when, as usual, a considerable number of mercan-
tile securities will arrive at maturity, exercises an
influence.

About £35,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

Messrs. Louis Cohen and Sons, the agents for the
South Italian Railway Obligations, have notified
that in consequence of the great demand for these
obligations, they have raised the price from £9 2s.
to £9 55., which will pay an interest of 61. per
cent. per annum.

The following sums have been received by Messrs
Baring Brothers and Co. on account of the New
Grenada Dividends :—Santa Marta, £3,46811s 11d;
Cartagena, £700; Sabanilla, £283 19s 3d—total,
£4,452 lls 2d. This sum, with £Bl5 10s received
from San Jose de Cuenta on the 17th inst., already
announced, makes £5,268 is 2d for the month of
March.

According to the Board of Trade retains, the
exports of gold into the United Kingdom, during
the months of January and February last, amounted
to £3,068,185, against £1,765,602 in 1862, and
£2,789 762 in 1861 ; of silver the exports in the
two months this year were £2,103 677, against
£1,735,803 in 1862, and £2,196,724 in 1861.
The imports of gold in January and February
last represented £3,117,467; in 1862, £2.068,316;
and in 1861, £1,870,413; of silver the shipments
were £1 817 305 in 1863; £1,160,560 in the same

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about d per raille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.224 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
n arly 2-10ths ler cent. deal er in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4_4 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.:4 per £1 sterling.
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
days' sight is about 171 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 55 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
mportation of gold from the United States.

Turin on the 28 h ult.. says: People bPgin to
say that Garibildi is s riously indisposed. This time it is
no longer his wound which occasions alarm, but the gene-
ral state of hie health. A low lever is feared, it is said."

remnants of thl old Arab civilisation, which has left bril-
liant traces in Egypt. To the Museum of Cairo will also be
