AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In monetary and commercial circles there con-
tinues to be considerable depression, the large
amount of unemployed capital on offer in the general
discount market being further increased by the dis-
tribution of the dividends; and the rates current
for accommodation range as low as from 11 to 11
DV cent. ; in exceptional instances transactions
Lave been entered into on the former terms.
The returns, however, of the Banks. of England and
Prance exhibit symptoms of a revival of trade,
although the improvement for some time to conic is
expected to be very gradual.
There were no gold operations at the Bank of
England yesterday.
The return of the Bank of France for the week
ending to-day shows the following changes com-
pared with that of last week :—There has been an
increase in the bills discounted of £392,000, while
a decrease has taken place in the cash in hand of
£1,021,000, in the private accounts of £600,000,
in the notes of £125,000, in the Treasury balances
of £64,000, and in the advances of £B,OOO.
The following gold ships have sailed from Mel-
bourne during the month of August for England :
--The Wave of Life, with 25,000 oz. ; the Sussex,
with 32,250 oz. ; and the Great Britain, with
109,750 oz, ; making a total of 167,000 oz.
The Arago, from New York, on the 28th ult., has
arrived with specie amounting to £7,880 for Havre.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
are steady at 24 26, and the Consolidated Mort-
gage Bonds have advanced 1, to 21 22.
According to the advices from Pesth it appears
that the Hungarian Railway Loan, of which the
preliminaries have been arranged with the Societe
Gen6rale of Paris, is to be for a nominal amount of
£4,000,000, in shares of £l2 each, carrying interest
at the rate of 5 per cent., and issued at £8 10s.
During the last few days there has been rather
more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. A good demand has prevailed for
sugar, and prices have tended upwards. For coffee
there has been a fair inquiry, and superior qualities
of Colonial have sold readily at full values. The
new arrivals of tea have been placed on the market,
and good qualities have sold at fully late rates,
while inferior descriptions are a shade cheaper. Rice
has been in active request, and a large amount of
business might have been transacted had holders
shown a disposition to reduce prices. The public
!ales of indigo have progressed without change of
importance, while in the Tallow Market activity has
revelled, and quotations for present and forward
delivery show a slight advance.
The return from the Bank of England for the
Irlek ending the 9th Oct. gives the following re-
:lite when compared with the previous week :
—beet *" . £3,675,000 ... Increase £3,880
.nblic deposit7s 7,557,442 Increase 29,947

bullion in both departments is £24,109,034, showing
4 decrease of £385,081 when compared with the
