COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market has been active to-day in
consequence of the business transacted having been
Principally connected with the liquidation of the
bills due on the 4th of the month. For other pur-
poses the requirements of the commercial public
continue very limited, and brokers have negotiated
three months' bills at 34 8 per cent.
About £97,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

A meeting of the creditors of Mr. David Leopold
Lewis has been held, and according to the statement
prepared by the accountants, Messrs. Coleman,
Turquand, Youngs and Co., the liabilities are esti-
mated at £850,000. A portion of the debt is said
to be secured on the shares, preference stocks, and
bonds of the Cork and Youghal Railway.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have
appointed Thursday next a special settling day ,in
the shares of the Albert Insurance Company, not to
be quoted at present, and the Val Antigoria Gold
Mining Company and the Bombay Gas (third issue),
both to be marked in the official list.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets,
during the last few days, there has not been much
alteration. Sugars have been in most instances a
shade cheaper ; while only superior qualities of
coffee have maintained former rates. In rice there
has been a fair amount of business transacted at
steady rates ; while tallow has been neglected, and
quotations' for both present and forward delivery
exhibit a downward movement.
The directors of the Financial Insurance Com-
pany also give notice that the subscription list will
close on Saturday next the Bth inst.
The business of the London, Hamburg, and Con-
tinental Exchange Bank (Limited) has been trans-
ferred to the General Exchange Bank, who have
given notice that they will pay all liabilities of their
predecessors, except those of an irregular character
arising out of a recent failure. The affairs of the
London, Hamburg, and Continental Exchange
Bank are in course of liquidation.
