MONEY MARKET.

THURSDAY EvExlNG.—The state of the Money Market,
as regards the commercial business of it, is mending. Dis-
counts are more readily obtained than for several days past,
and the demand for money has considerably diminished,
owing to the extent to which the principal merchants hare
gone in lessening their engagements, on the first intimation
of the measures about to be adopted by the Bank. There

. _
is also some impression making, owing to the state of money-
recently, on the prices of commodities, so that it is hoped
the importations into this country for a few months to come
may be checked. It is a remarkable fact, which may never-
theless be vouched for, that some of the principal London
houses, in their anxiety to avoid the storm that they saw
impending over them, have not a single order out, or in pro-
gress of execution. Those countries, therefore, from whence
our chief articles of import are received, must suffer a
sensible reduction of prices, or retain their stocks in hand
until a better market is created for them in this country,
both of which will almost equally answer our purpose.
If the mercantile class, then, could see the Bank in a.
more safe position, there would be a disposition to con-
sider that the more serious part of the danger had.
been passed, but on this point their solicitude is by
no means materially lessened. Before this can be accom-
plished, it is necessary to have the exchanges so far im-
proved, that not only the export of bullion may be checked,
but that it may again flow back to this country. Some of
our capitalists, it appears, are combining for a very exten-
sive operation of this kind—with what success remains to
be ascertained. But there is a party in the City who are
extremely sanguine as to the result, and who have planned
simultaneously with it a speculation on a large scale for a
rise in the funds, to which the state of the markets is,
otherwise, extremely favourable. The success of the first
operation is, however, indispensable to that of the second,
and, as yet, no decided progress has been made by either.
The weekly meeting of Bank Directors took place to-
day, during which some expectations prevailed in the City
that a further rise in the rate of interest would be an-
nounced, but no notice of the kind was given, and many
consider that all thought of such a measure is abandoned
for the present. A conference which took place early in
the week between the Bank Directors and the principal
American banks, is supposed to have conduced materially
to this, and it is said that their representations were such as
to induce generally a better feeling between the parties.
The Dublin letters state that a notice has been issued
by the Bank of Ireland to the effect that all sums paid into
the Bank of England or its branches, to the credit of
Irish accounts, will be paid free of charge. It has been
the custom hitherto to charge a small commission on such
payments. It seems unfair for these wealthy corporations,
which have many advantages peculiar to themselves, to en-
croach thus on the profits of the private bankers and
money-brokers, who have difficulty enough without it, to
bear up under such competition.—:llorning Paper.
