COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is assuming a much easier
tendency, promoted by a large supply of capital on
offer, and by a small decrease in the inquiry for
accommodation. The commercial public, whose
financial requirements are now exceedingly limited
owing to the contraction of trade,,believe that soon
after the distribution of the dividends on Govern-
ment stocks a greater abundance of money will be
perceptible, and that the authorities will be forced
to follow the course of affairs by lowering their
official minimum to somewhere about 31 per cent.
To-day the rates for first-class bills have been 3i
4 per cent, but the former charge is becoming the
more general one. The greater part of the inquiry
to-day has been in connection with the liquidation
of bills due to-morrow, the 4th of the month.
A general meeting of the National Financial
Company was held to-day, and the resolution for
amalgamating the institution with the Oriental Com-
mercial Bank agreed to.
The Parana has arrived at Lisbon, from the
Brazils; en route for Southampton with £16,000.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
durring the past week have again -been of an unsa-
tisfactory character. -At Manchester a further de-
cline has taken place in the value of cloths and
yarns; while at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield
there has been little improvement to notice in the
woollen trade. The hosiery and lace departments
of Leicester and Nottingham, however, have been
seasonably active ; while at Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton no material change can be
reported in most branches of business.
