MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL ENTELLIGENC,E,

-~---

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market presents symptoms of an
easier tendency, and there is more disposition shown
by brokers to take first class bills at per cent.
below the official minimum. The demand is also 1
less active than it has been for some short time.
The sum of £31,000 was withdrawn from the
bullion department of the Bank of England yester-
day afternoon.
The reserves of notes and gold of the Bank of Ist
England have not been largely diminished during
the week, and considering the different usual opera-
tions in progress at this period of the year, the re-
turn, of which the following are the principal items,
gay be considered favourable

The English Stock Market shows an improve- i
Inept of * per cent., Consols having risen to 871
for money, and to 871 1 for the account. This

tive. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities
were 87 1; Exchequer Bills, 6s. to 2s. dis.; India 5
Per Cents., 102 k ; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., t
102 ; and ditto Bonds, 19s. prem.
