MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIOBNOB,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is no change of importance to record in
the general discount market. The supplies of bills
on offer are restricted, and the capital in the hands
of the brokers and others abundant, the rates ruling
at from 11 to 1 per cent. for short dated paper.
The sum of £4,000 was taken to the Bank of
England yesterday in gold.
The Newyork from New York has brought about
.4,000 in specie and £3,000 for Bremen. The
liubboldt from Rio Janeiro brings only £1,500.

The Custom-house and Navigation laws to be
observed on the River Amazon, its affluents, and
the river San Frauci:ico, were published on the
31st of July last, at Rio de Janeiro, and contain
no less than 145 paragraphs, all of which are more
or less irksome to free trade. We did not
think it possible a Government could publish
such a document, and enforce it in a country
without hardly any population or trade, and
where the great ostensibly avowed object was to
create trade and attract emigration, but this docu-
ment will close the free navigation to foreign
shipping as effectually as if the so much praised
law of the 7th of December, 1866, ordering
the opening of the Amazon to foreign nations on
the 7th of September, 1867, had never been pro-
mulgated.

In the Foreign and Colonial Pr oduce Markets dur-
ing the last few days a moderate amount of business
hasbeen entered into. There has been a steady demand
for sugar, and prices have been well sustained.
uPerations in tea have been principally in the
new seasons crop just arrived, but the rates
realised have shown little variation of importance.
Moderate quantities of coffee have been brought
forward, and superior descriptions have sold readily
at steady prices. Rice has been more inquired for,
while the dealings in rum, fruit, and saltpetre have
led to no material alteration in quotations. In the
!allow market heaviness has prevailed, and prices
have continued to exhibit a further slight decline.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
remain steady at 23 25, and Consolidated Mort-
gage Bonds at 21 22.

With regard to the silk market Messrs. Durant
and Co. state as follows :—" We have to report
another month of extreme quiet in silk. The fourth
steamer with new silk has arrived, and still no
business upon any than the smallest possible scale—
still apparently the same determined limitation of
Purchase to the absolute requirements of the day.
The prices of China and Japan silk show an unusual
margin in comparison with European silk, but even
this fails to induce business. The deliveries of the
past month proved rather less unfavourable than
had been anticipated, but still are far from satisfac-
tory—Japan furnished an important feature."

Two o'CLocit.

Renter's telegram, were 69f 90c.—Firm.

A very moderate amount of business has been

shire, London, Chatham, and Dover, and South
