MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Continued inactivity prevails in discount circles,
and the quotations are tending in an easier direc-
tion. The floating capital of the bankers and
brokers is very abundant, and as the demand for
accommodation is very light, 41- per cent. is now
the general rate for the best descriptions of short-
dated paper. On the Stock Exchange loans from
day to day are being offered at 3 and 31- per cent.
The markets for stocks and shares have not
Opened with a very lively appearance, but there
has, nevertheless, been some active buying of
American Securities, and Erie shares have advanced
this morning nearly 3 per cent. Turkish Fives
are also at enhanced quotations, but the English
Funds are slightly depressed, and Consols are 891
for money and the 9th inst., and 891 I for the
November account.
The sum of £20,000 in sovereigns was received
at the Bank of England yesterday from Brazil.
The return issued this morning by the Bank of
England directors shows that in the main the liabi-
lities of the establishment have been largely in-
creased during the past week, in consequence of the
excessive demand for money at the end of the quar-
ter and for the 4th of the month. Annexed is our
usual analysis :

Chief clerk in Vice-chancellor Stuart's Court, by the
liquidators in the matter of Overend, Gurney, and

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
daring the last few days there has not been much
animation. The public sales of tea, however, have
gone off with
ellth rather

w more animation, and prices
sustained. Sugar has been inactive,
butnat steady rates. Coffee has been in fair de-
and superior qualities fully sustain previous
quotations. In rice the dealings have been re-
stricted by the high rates demanded by holders,
while tallow has eontinued in moderate request at
steady quotations for both present and forward
delivery.

The English Stock Market has not been very ani-
mated, and prices generally show a slight decline.

speculative sales than of. any disturbance of public

sentpr a firmer appearance. Consols are 89k I for
money and the 9th inst., and 891 I for November;
