HONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

It has just been announced that the authorities
of the Bank of England have made no further
alteration in the minimum rate to-day. The panic
which seems to have seized outside discounters has
been communicated to several members of the mer-
cantile community, and the representatives of both
have flocked to the establishment to inquire whether
any change had been adopted. The official
answer, in the negative, has caused a quieter feel-
ing, which will probably last to the conclusion of
business in the afternoon, but the principal houses
generally object to enter into engagement under 71
per cent., though exceptional instances may be cited
where a concession in favour of the borrower has
been made to the extent of or 4 per cent. Merchants
and most others engaged in trade are naturally
offering as few bills as possible, under the impres-
sion that the present abnormal state of affairs
cannot be of long continuance.
Gold, amounting to £46,000, was taken to the
Bank on Saturday, and 200,000 sovereigns were
withdrawn on account of the Brazilian Loan.

From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week have generally been of a satisfac-
tory charactory. The demand for both cloths and
yarns at Manchester has been more animated, and
prices have in most instances shown an upward ten-
dency. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford,
and Huddersfield, however, there has not been
quite so much activity, although operatives generally
are well employed. Hosiery and lace in Leicester
and Nottingham have been without change of im-
portance. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-
hampton increased activity has prevailed in all de-
partments.

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the S per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 65c. Heavy.
Business has been resumed to-day on the Stock
Exchange in a more active and satisfactory manner.
The non-alteration in the rate of discount has im-
parted more confidence, and purchases in the Funds
have been the consequence. Consols for money have
improved to 88n, and for the Nov. account to 8911.
Following the rise in the other Government securi-
ties already mentioned, the New Threes and Re-
duced Annuities have also tended upward, and the
payment of the dividends in the course of the week
will no doubt bring a portion of the quarterly inte-
rest for reinvestment. Few operations are recorded
in Indian securities, and there is a slight degree of
heaviness, chiefly arising from the paucity of busi-
ness.

The Foreign Market shows a general improve-
ment. Turkish Consolides are 43f Q ; Mexican,
251 j. ; do. New Loan, 241 I ; Greek, 20 / ; Spanish
Passive, 28i + ; do. Certificate, 131 14 ; Italian,
63/ 4 ; Confederate Loan, 6 8 ; and Brazilian Scrip,
2+ 3i prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather dull, but prices in several instances are firmer.
Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved 15s. ;
North Western, Metropolitan, and North Eastern
(Berwick), each 10s. ; and Great Northern and
Midland, each ss.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibi
little change of importance.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain very in-
active, without any material change in values.
Allan's Transatlantic Telegraph Shares are quoted
pm. ; Merchants' Company, 11 pm.; Lon-
don and Australian Agency, f 1I pm. ; and Trans-
atlantic Steam Ship Company, par 1 pm.
In the American Market prices are rather flatter.
United States Government 5-20 Bonds are 68
Erie shares, 57i 58 ; and Illinois, 81k 82.
