TWELVE O'CLOCK.
No perceptible difference has taken place in
the discount market. The inquiries are few both
at the Bank of England and in Lombard-street,
and in all the principal cities of the Continent the
same state of affairs exists.
There were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank yesterday. The silver market continues

At the meeting held to-day of the London, Til-
bury, and Southend Railway the usual accounts for
rthe half-year ending the 30th June were presented.
-rhe statement furnished by the lessees showed
that the receipts amounted to £24,531, and
the expenses to £18,618, leaving a balance
of .5,912. Compared with the correspond-
ing period of last year there is a decrease
of £855 in the receipts and £647 in the expenses,
making a total decrease of £1,502. The return of
passenger tolls and proportion of goods receipts by
the Great Eastern and North London Companies
were £9,484, and £670 respectively, which, with
the receipt of £24,531, make the gross receipts for
the half-year £34,687.
During the last few days there has been very little
animation exhibited in the foreign and colonial
Produce markets. Sugar has barely maintained
former values. Superior qualities of coffee have
been in fair request, at full values ; while, in rice,
fruit, and spices only moderate transactions have
been entered into. Tallow has been in very limited
demand at slightly reduced rates.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben-
tures remain at 23 25 ; but the Consolidated Mort-
gage Bonds have recened to 20i 21i.
The Rhone has arrived from the West Indies with
specie to the amount of £367,526, of which £85,847
is in gold, and £281,679 in silver.

Notwithstanding the extreme dulness of specula-
ti▪
on and a very limited number of investments, the
value of English Funds is well supported; nor is
there any apparent reason why it should be other-
Vise. Harvest reports are good, each morning mail
bringing satisfactory intelligence. The labour supply
for agricultural purposes seems to have turned out
more favourable than was anticipated, the price
of wheat has further declined, the stock of
cereals in hand are excessive, and enormous
foreign and colonial consignments are expected,
and, in fact, already shipped or ready for shipment,
money continues superabundant, and all good secu-
rities—Government especially —are worth more than
their present marketable value, with a 2 per cent.
Bank minimum, and bills discountable k per cent.

of 944.
