MONEY MARKET

AN"

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is assuming a much easier
tendency, pronioted by a large supply of capital on
offer, and by a small decrease in the inquiry for
accommodation. The commercial public, whose
financial requirements are now exceedingly limited
owing to the contraction of trade, believe that soon
after the distribution of the dividends on Govern-
ment stocks a greater abundance of money will be
perceptible, and that the authorities will be forced
to follow the course of affairs by lowering their
official minimum to somewhere about 3} per cent.
To-day the rates for first-class bills have been 3-
4 per cent, but the former charge is becoming th 3
more general one. The greater part of the inquiry
to-day has been in connection with the liquidation
of bills due to-morrow, the 4th of the month.
A general meeting of the National Financial
Company was held to-day, and the resolution for
amalgamating the institution with the Oriental Com-
mercial Bank agreed to.

The Parana" has arrived at Lisbon, from the
Brazils, en route for Southampton with .£16,000.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
durring the past week have again been of an unsa-
tisfactory character. At Manchester a further de-
cline has taken place in the value of cloths and
yarns; while at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield
there has been little improvement to notice in the
woollen trade. The hosiery and lace departments
of Leicester and Nottingham, however, have been
seasonably active ; while at Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton no material change can be
reported in most branches of business.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f.
80c. Firmness.

The market for English Stocks continues very
buoyant, and under the favourable influence of
easy rates of discount, investments are daily made,
and quotations of securities show an additional ten-
dency to improvement. The Funds are 4 higher
than on Saturday evening. Consols for money
being 94 -a, and for the May account 904 4. The

prevailed, and prices have shown increased firm-
ness. Great Western have advanced 15s. ; Great
Northern, Metropolitan, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
and South Eastern, each 10s. ; and Great Northern
A Stock, North Western, and Midland, each £l.
