AND
COMMERCIAL IIITELL/GENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is hardly anything new to note respecting
monetary affairs. The public are beginning to
anticipate an early relaxation in the rates of dis-
count since capital is abundant, and there is very
little call for accommodation. The quotations to-
day have remained easy, at 48 and 4f per cent. for
the best bills having only a short time to run.
In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon a
general.upward movement took place, the demand
for bills being very limited.
The South of England Wagon Company, requir-
ing a capital of £200,000, half of which is to con-
stitute the first issue in shares of £2O, has been
brought forward for the purpose of extending the
system of letting out wagons to the southern pro-
vinces, in consequence of the operations of similar
companies in the northern portions of the kingdom
having proved a great success.

Two o'CLoci.

At Paris, this clay, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent: Rentes were 67f.
65. Flat.

A further improvement has taken place to-day
in the market for the English Funds. The advance
has been brought about by the closing of " bear "
accounts and some purchases for investment on the
part of the public. Consols are now 881 / for
money, and 881 89 for the account. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 861 ; Ex-
chequer Bills, 3s. prem ; India 5 per Cents., 104 ;
and Enfaced 5 per Cents, 101.
Increased firmness is apparent in the Foreign
Market, but business is not very active. Turkish
Consolides are 521 531; Mexican, 251 261; do.
New, 25 1 ; Greek, 21 1 ; Spanishj Passive, 321 1 ;
do Certificates, 16i- a ; Italian, 63 ; do. New, 31
24 die. ; and Confederate Loan, 37 39.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been limited, and chiefly connected with the settle-
'neat of the account. Prices, however, have in most
instances shown an upward tendency. Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln, Metropolitan, Midland, and
South-Eastern have each advanced 10s. ; and
North-Western and North Eastern (Berwick) each
; while Great Eastern, and Great Northern
are each at enhanced quotations.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain dull,
Without any material change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous shares continue quiet,
but prices are, in some instances, rather firmer.
Alliance have improved to 33/ ; Chartered of India,
Australia, and China to 31 ; European to 131 14 ;
London Financial to 201 ; and Egyptian Company
to 4/ ; Rio de Janeiro Gas are quoted 1 / prem. ;
South African Land and Finance, / 11 prem. ; and
Atlantic and Great Western Certificates of Deben-
ture, 6} 7 prem.
