I[ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The money market continues to present a very
active appearance. The inquiry for accommodation
has been exceedingly large in consequence of heavy
Indian engagements falling due to-morrow. The
rate out of doors is fully equal to the Bank mini-
mum, and only in exceptional instances is assist-
ance obtained at 21 per cent.
The Bank of England return presents alterations
of an unfavourable character, but as they were to
be, expected at the present season no great surprise
has been created. Annexed are the particulars :

more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Market. Sugars have advanced about 8 per

in very limited request at barely former prices;
while tallow, although inactive, has in most
instances supported late quotations for both
present and forward delivery.
