COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCTI,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK,

The demand for discount accommodation at the
Bank of England, and in the open market, continues
exceedingly small ; and as the supplies of floating
capital are excessive, the rates are very easy.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank
yesterday.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex
hibited a slight downward tendency in some in
stances.

The drafts drawn by some of the branches of the
London and Scottish Bank (Limited) upon the
head office in London have been returned, with the
reply that they were unable to meet them at pre-
sent. The bank was established in October last,

and has a paid-up capital of only £25,000.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f.
82c.

A slight degree of heaviness is now apparent in
the markets for stocks and shares, but this is chiefly
due to the realisation of profits, and thereby to
close accounts for the Easter holidays. Specula-
tion is quieter, and there are comparatively few in-
vestments. Sales having been effected to a small
extent, Consols have receded per cent., say to 91 /
for transfer to 911 1 for the 9th proximo. The
necessary arrangements for the liquidation of the
account in the Foreign and Share markets consti-
tute the principal business of the day.
In the Foreign Market a firmer tone has been
apparent, but prices have not varied materially.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 744 75 ; do. Con-
solides, 54i 55 ; Mexican„27l 1 ; do. Ne v, 261 1 ;

ficates, 171 1 ; Portuguese, 48* ; Russian, 911 4 ;
and Confederate Loan, 29 31.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
moderately active. The settlement of the account,
however, has occupied the •chief attention of the
dealers and speculators, and prices have been ex-
ceedingly firm. Great Eastern and South-Eastern
have each improved ss. ; Brighton, South-Western,
and North-Eastern (Berwick), each 10s. ; and Great
Northern (A Stock), £l.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive,
at about previous rates.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are quiet, and
prices exhibit little change of importance. Union
of London are marked 541 ; City of Milan Im-
provements, 114 12 ; Crystal Palace Stock, 37 1 ;
Electric Telegraph, 116.

PRENCII REMINISCENCE OF MR. COBDEN.—
l‘-![• Louis Jourdan writes as follows, in yesterday's
BStecle, upon the late Mr. Cobden :—" When the state of his
ealth compelled him to pass the winter in Algeria I often
aw him ; our dwellings were close together. In our con-
versations I was much struck with a contradiction which
3314de him smile. This citizen of the world, this pacific
Conde
who would have liked to see all nations give
e, ach other the kiss of peace, was an Englishman to the
backbone. ' Why,' I said to him, do you not exhort your
car °llhtrY to givt; a generous example to the world by
instead of expending millions upon useless arraa-
i'.eants ?' Upon this point Mr. Cobden would have no
No, no,' he replied. ' when you build one ironclad
must build three, and as a member of Parliament
always 'vote the millions necessary to maintain this
15r°Portion.'"
