MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Owing to a large number of bills in connection
with the trade of India and China falling due to-
day the inquiry for discount accommodation has
been very active. Brokers have shown a disinclina-
tion to take even short dated securities under 5j and
6 per cent., and the consequence has been a good
demand at the Bank.

An advance has taken place in the value of bar
silver, and a large amount has been disposed of at
ss. lid. per oz. standard.
Several alterations of a rather discouraging charac-
ter are shown in the Bank of England return, but
they must generally be attributed to operations
usual at the pr,,,smt period. Subjoined are the
particulars :
