COMdLRCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The Bank of England return made up to the 10th
inst. shows some very favourable features. The
accumulation of the notes and gold is considerable,
and a further relaxation in the rate of discount is
not improbable. In the other securities there is a
falling off of a million: and a half, and there is
an augnienta+ion in the notes unemployed of
about one million and a quarter. The bullion,
throu,gli the influx of gold, has accumulated to the
extent of three quarters of a million, the total
being sixteen millions and a halt. The private
deposits have decreased owing to the payments of
the 4th of the month ; but the public deposits
exhibit a moderate augmentation. The various
items and the changes they present are exhibited
in the following table :

It will thus be seen that the trade of the coun-
try remains in a depressed state, and until it is
resuscitated no material reaction in the money
market is likely to take place. While looking at
the vastly improved state of the Bank's resources,
it should be borne in mind that the change has
been brought about by adversity, and not in any
degree by the prosperity of commerce. Money is
cheap and abundant because there is no employ-
ment for it, a limited amount being sufficient for
the transactions now concluded.
About 80,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
Yesterday, so that the next weekly return will no
doubt exhibit a further large addition to the bul-
lion.

The continental exchanges yesterday afternoon
Were again rather lower.
There is a slight increase in the demand for
14.°11eY, but no alteration has taken place in the
rates of discount.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about 702,6201., and the exports 412,1421.,

-London to the continent during the week ending

Thera has been more firmness in the English
_Stock market to-day, and a moderate amount of
business has been done. The improvement is not
Of much importance, being about per cent., but
the tone of busiEess is stronger. It should be
recollected that the present price of consols does
not leave much room for a further rise, and the
speculators perceiving this are not disposed to ex-
14'10 their operations too far. Consols far money
