RONEY MARKET

A ND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the general discount the demand for accom-
rnodation is still extremely limited, and the supplies
on offer being more than sufficient for all legitimate
requirements. The rates have undergone no alte-
ration.

There were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank of England yesterday.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben-
tures remain steady, at 23 25, and the Consolidated
Alortgage Bonds at 21 22.
The Bank of Franco return for the past week is
similar in its results to that of the Bank of Eng -
land, the bullion having increased, and the bar and
discount business of the Establishment having been
much reduced. The addition to the cash in hand
11 about £480,000, and to the private balance
£196,000 ; the total of bills under discounts is
£320,000 smaller, and a curtailment is shown of
£13,332 in the advances on Stock.
The movements of the precious metals during the
past week has been to a moderate extent. The
imports have amounted to about £704,709, includ-
ing £25,633 from New York by the City of Boston,
£65,600 by the Arago, £27,000 by the Helvetia,
£75,048 by the,Borussia,, and £1,400 by the Persia.
The Atrato from the West Indies and Pacific has
brought £460,533, the Ceylon from Alexandria
£3,683, and about £45,812 has been received in
Silver from the Continent. The exports have been
confined to remittances to the Continent, through
Private sources, estimated at about £131,727.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
lance of £424 on account of the dividends on the
debt of Ecuador.
The traffic returns on the East Indian Railway
for the week ending 23d June last were £45,093
against £33,335 in the corresponding week of the
Previous year.
„ .„We Copy the following from the Mining Journal:
Remarks.—Tho metal market has continued to
resent during the past week the same encouraging
features as it did during the former one. It is
rry satisfactory also to find that a much greater
feeling of confidence is springing up as to the re-
covery of the metal trade from its long period of
depression, and also as to the improvement
111 commercial affairs generally, and that before
long we shall enter upon a course of
trust greater activity and vigour, which we
rust will speedily lead to the return to the former
state of commercial prosperity. Orders are still
coming forward with much greater regularity, and
buyers
seem now less afraid to enter into pretty
extensive operations, and some considerable pur-
chases have been made during the week. This fact
alone shows that the metal trade is recovering ;
and, though it may be only gradual, yet we have
every reason to believe that it will be permanent,
and We hope soon to find that speculators will
be enabled to enter operations with some-
thing like confidence, as this will be sure to
still
a decided impetus to the market, and render it
still more lively and encouraging. Prices also
eeeni now to be on the move upward, and we may
4,4fe.1Y calculate that most metals have now seen
untillowest point, and will gradually creep up
_mull they attain that which will be far more remu-
nerative than they have been for some time past.
4:_itogether, the appearance of the metal market is
41°
r e gratifying than it has been lately.

Two o'CnocK.
The Consol Market for the week has closed very
quietly, but the unsettled feeling concerning the
Weather and the crops have caused a slight degree
(f)f depression. Consols are now* lower, at 941
(lOar„ money, and 941 / for the account. The atten-
Ceee in the City to-day has been small, owing to
nneness of the weather and the absence of ac-
tive business.
