MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIrkL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE o'CLoCK.
More than ordinary excitement inaugurated the
business of the City to-day, and especially in the
neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange. And no
wonder. 'rho fear manifested in Chester, Liverpool,
and Stalsybridge, and the details furnished to the
Public, point to the possibility of one of those perio-
dical civil convulsions which attack all nations.
Affairs at home are looking very gloomy and every
vigilance must be exercised. The Government have
acted wisely at and since the event at Chester, and
although there is considerable anxiety throughout the
country it may be said that every confidence is re-
Posed in Mr. Walpole and his colleagues. Had it
not been for this confidence, Consols, the British
funds—yelept, the barometer of the public mind—
in fact, the pulse of the nation, would, amidst the
very extravagant opinions expressed this morning,
have descended 3or 4 instead of I per cent. This
latter movement has just occurred, and, in sym-
pathy, all other securities have more or less
suffered, but there is no ground for alarm,
and with the exercise of the talent of the
present Administration it is hoped and believed
that all fear, groundless or otherwise, will be speedily
removed. In the money market to-day there is no
change, the Bank of England having continued their
rate at 3 per cent. At the Stock Exchange there
has been more demand, and lenders, owing to the
Foreign
2to 2 Stock and Share settlement are charging
per cent. This, however, is merely tempo-
,rary, the supply being far in excess of the inquiry.
or weeks past it has been seen that the sums
offered for employment in short loans on Govern-
ment Securities have steadily augmented, and, ac-
cording to present indications, there appears no
probability of a. decrease.
The Manchester papers mention the failure of
Mr. N. J. Amiss, small-ware manufacturer, of
Albion Mills, Gaythorn, with liabilities amounting
to £30,000 ; and of Messrs. Hadfield and Co., of
Higher Ardwick and Warrington, liabilities not
Stated.

During the last few days there has been a good
demand for green fruit, and the market has further
improved for oranges, some parcels—St. Michael,
Valencia, and Sicily— -going at a considerable ad-
vance in price, and which is likely to be sustained ;
lemons higher, with a limited stock on hand. More
inquiry for nuts of all kinds, with a tendency to
advance in price. Seville sours in request, and
further arrivals daily expected.
Letters from Bucharest mention that Messrs.
Oppenheim and Sulzbach have handed to the Go-
vernment the first and second instalments of
the projected Roumanian Loan, amounting to
£320,000. The Loan, which is for £740,000 money,
is, we hear, likely to be brought out in the course
of the ensuing week by one of our leading firms.
No gold operations of importance took place at
the Bank of England yesterday. The withdrawals
for the continent have almost ceased, and the only
foreign shipments that have taken place are some
exceptional transactions for South America. Supplies
of bullion are coming forward from the United States
and Australia ; within the last few years it has been
bssa prominent feature that a portion of colonial gold
t been taken to India, but the rate of exchange
„etween London and Bombay now stands at a point
la et
will w.L. cause the bulk of these supplies to accumu-
late here.
Great The committee of investigation of the Atlantic and
Western Railway Company have announced
t° the bondholders and creditors their having entered
on their labours, but, towards expenses, ask the
moderate sum of 2s. per £lOO sterling, as a pro rata
contribution to cover the expenses of thoroughly
