ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The rates for money in the general discount
market remain firm, and a good inquiry has been
experienced this morning. The demand will no
doubt continue active till after the arrangements
have been completed for the liquidation of the bills
falling due on the 4th inst., when it is generally
Considered that easier terms will prevail. Just now
tho Bank of England is advancing money to the
discount houses, and this description of business
transacted by the authorities is presumed to be on
a rather large scale.

About £95,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Canada
Agency Association, an interim dividend at the rate
of 20 per cent. per annum on the increased capital
was recommended by the directors to be paid.
The half-yearly meeting of the Railway Passengers
Assurance Company was also held to-day, and in-
terest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum was pro-
Posed to be paid. The revenue account for the past
six months shows a total of £45,551, from which is
deducted compensations, &c., &c., bricging the
!Mount down to £21,280.

Two o'CLocx.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
68f 75c to 63f 65c—flat.

English Securities this morning have lost the
buoyancy they exhibited at the close yesterday
evening. There is no doubt that the heaviness now
witnessed is due to a few sales rather than to any
other overt or unfavourable circumstances. In fact,
everything tends to keep up prices, and to impart
encouragement to speculators for a rise. Consols are
934 for money and the 9th inst.,' and 931 for the
Bth proximo. The Reduced Annuities are firm at
92?., ex. dlr. ; and the New Threes are also steady
at 92! §, ex. dir. ; the 5 per Cent. Annuities are
buoyant at 109 ; but the 30 Years' Annuities are
lower at HI; the 5 per Cent. India Loan remains
at 1081 ; and the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 108.
There is less annimation in the Foreign Market,
but prices are generally well supported. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1853, are 69 ex div. ; Ditto, 1862,

Russian, 93; Egyptian, 1011 ex div. ; Peruvian,
871 ; and the Confederate Loan is 28 to 26 die. less
the dividend.

In the Railway Share Market there has been very
little business transacted, and the variations in
prices have not been important. North Western,
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North
Eastern (Leeds) have each improved about 55.,
while Great Eastern, Great Western, and Midland
have declined 55., and Lancashire and Yorkshire,
10s.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit
to material change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally ex-
hibit a firmer tone. City Bank realise 101 102;
Imperial Ottoman, 19-i- a. International Financial
shares are 101, General Credit and Finance,

THE FLORIDA.---We mentioned on Thtirsday last
that her Majesty
had, on the '6 addlesloop Geyser, Capt. Pt chell,
prece,lin Pda,y,,l been despatched to the coast of
the destructoi
Ireland, with a viewgto
of war Florida, ok after" the Confederate ship
have been recorded. The protee td.oings of which off Kinsale
of course, the object ra the Gig seeiro.n of British interests was,
has been unsuccessful, inasinuchsar:
sihssion, which, however,
to Devonport, and reports that during he returned yesterday
Queenstown and the south-western Iriesrh brief cruise near
and crew have seen nothing of the Southergeeoast her officers
r
any information leading theta to suppose tht:tnt nor
any received
was still in those waters. It may therefore be e Florida
that this " Will o' the Wisp"—lengthy accounts
epfresumed
doing at Bermuda are now reaching us_has sheeredwohtfose
to
other cruising ground, and will shortly turn up where
least
expected and desired by the Federal traders. Some discus
sion had been excited at Bermuda by the fact that on the
arrival of the Florida at the harbour of St. George in that
island, on July 16, the ti7ed a. salute, which was returned
by the English forts. This was construial by some into a
tacit recognition of the independence of the South. A.
strong Southern feeling seems to prevail in the island ; the
harbour -is reported to be full of blockade runners, and a
"considerable interchange a civilities has taken place be..
ti,vfen the Confederate and the British officers," the former
having been entertained' by the latter at their mess. The
assistant paymaster of the Florida having died at the Fort,
hfia remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse
residents and others.— Western ..Iforring Aces.
