ONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is not such a strong demand for money in
the discount market to-day, but as the supply on
offer has considerably diminished, even the best
bills are charged 31 and 4 per cent.
A further small sum in gold, viz., £5,000, was
taken into the Bank yesterday.
There was a slight downward movement in the
foreign
exchanges yesterday afternoon.
Messrs. J. Travers and Sons, in their circular
give the following interesting paragraph upon the
turning point in the commercial depression :--" The
symptoms this week have been stronger than at any
former time of the possibility of our having arrived
at the stage when a steady course of recovery may
be expected. Such, however, have been the disap-
pointments during the past two months that no con-
fidence can be felt. The indications as yet are that
the markets may remain two or three weeks in a
sensitive state, experiencing a succession of inter-
ruption to any upward movement that may slowly
'Deem'. Low prices must inevitably cause
either
a diminution of production or of
its cost ; in the first !case ;shipments would be
checked, in the second they, would be as large as
ever; but as it is likely that the cost of producing
Most articles has reached its lowest point, the in-
ference is that shipments will be discouraged by the
Present low prices. At present the money market
seems to tend towards further ease, and the cheap-
'less of food, owing to wheat being at the lowest
Price touched during the past 20 years, will enable
the operative classes to continue the enjoyment of
aproportionably larger supply of imported articles.
Considering these circumstances, and bearing in
Mind that the comparatively low quotation to which
eetton has now returned will re-establish the trade
Of Lancashire on a basis of security, there will be
Feed ground, especially if there be a favourable
harvest, to anticipate for the great masses of the
Population a condition of comfort throughout the
remainder of the year."'

tmle At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 60c.
A much better feeling has been apparent in nearly
the
Stock Exchange markets to-day, and Con-
!As at
time were 1 per cent higher, although
the are not quite so good at the close, being
qii°ted9 for money, and 904 91 for the ac-
?lnt. The New Threes and Reduced are 89 4;

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active, and prices have in several in-
stances shown a slight improvement. Lancashire and
Yorkshire, North Western, Metropolitan, and Mid-
land have each advanced about ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
Without change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been dull.

pany to 154 4 ; and Madras Irrigation and Canal
