COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The return from the Bank of England for the
week ending the 9th June is of a rather satisfactory
character. The late shipments of specie to the
continent have caused a decline in the bullion to a
small exent ; the reserve of notes, however, shows
a small augmentation, and the other securities
show a reduction of about 158,000/., exhibiting very
little improvement in the general trade of the
country. In the Public Deposits there is an in-
crease of over half-a-million, but in the Private
Deposits there is a diminution to about a similar
amount. The active circu!ation shows a decrease of
about a quarter of a million. In the other items
of the balance-sheet there is no change requiring
special oomment ; they will be seen in the subjoined
table :

The demand for discount accommodation is
rather more active, and 21 per cent. is now about
the current rate for the negotiation of good com-
nlercial paper. The joint-stock banks are obtaining
an increase of business, and although the applications
at the Bank of England were still very limited, the
tendency of the money market is evidently in the
• direction of higher terms. Some time may elapse
before the minimum is altered, but as the terms out
of doors are so much under the official rates,
there is plenty of room for variation before that
Point is attained.
The arrival has been announced at SUez of the
Australian mail, with 114,000/. Advices are also
received of the departure from the colony of the
Royal Charter, with 94,000 oz. of gold on board,
valued at 376,000/.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
'frith rather a dull appearance, and prices were un-
altered. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales,
,000 of which were taken on speculation and for
ezport.
The English Stcck Market is very flat, and the
neactions, though limited,:are of an unfavourable
character. At the close the quotations appeared
heavY Consols being 95i 96 ex-dividend for
("cceunt. There is now an uneasy feeling lest
some collision should take place between American
atid English vessels before instructions arrive out
from our Government. This apprehension has
Centralised the influence of the satisfactory pro-
ceedings in Parliament last evening.
