NONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

No alteration has been made by the Bank of
England directors in the rate of discount, and the
Market presents an appearance of inactivity. The
expectations that an advance would take place have
Induced the commercial classes to obtain more ac-
commodation than their immediate wants required,
and there is consequently very little business now
in progress.

A withdrawal of £22,000 in gold took place yes-
terday afternoon at the Bank.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have de-
cided upon closing the House on Saturday next.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under

corresponding period of last year, are generally very
satisfactory. On the Great Western there is an
increase of £2,816 ; on the North Western of
£7,250 ; on the South-Western, of £755 ; on the
Brighton of £1,358 ; on the Midland of £3,254 ;

According to Reuter's telegram the 3 per Cent.
French Reutes were quoted at 68f. 27c. The de-
l:nand held firm.

The English Stock Market has been dull, but
quotations have remained steady. At one time
there was a tendency to a rise, but the paucity of
business has prevented any important change.
