MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Activity and firmness are still the predominating
features of the money market. Preparations for
the engagements due to-day, the 4th, increase the
inquiry for money, of which discounters have not
an abundant supply at their command. First-class
paper, of short date, cannot be negotiated under
the Bank minimum, and the greater number of ap-
plications consequently are made at the Bank of
England.

The Essex has arrived from Melbourne with
1483,152 in gold.
The increase in the value of cotton has occa-
sioned a corresponding advance in the price of bar
silver to send to India. The quotation is ss. lid.
per ounce.

The letters of allotment of the shares of the
Cachar Company will be issued on Monday next.
It has beeen announced that Messrs. C. Moore
and Co., the well-known shipowners, intend to
establish a monthly line of packets from London to
Calcutta, sailing the sth of each month, com-
mencing the sth December next. The agents are
to be Messrs. Alexander Hawden, Sons, and Co.

The year 1865 shows acurious variation in the
order of the crops. Thus, in the departments of the
northern part of Central Prance, where the vintage usually
takes place in the first days of October, wine was drunk
this year on the 15th August. On the other hand, in the
departments of the South, where the vintage
takes place in August, it has come off
this p generally
year in the
Inonth of September.
