AIONEY-MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is assuming quite an inactive
appearance, and, in consequence of the large inflow
of gold into the Bank of England during the week,
the opinion gains ground that the official minimum
will be reduced 1 per cent. to-morrow. The corn-
Inereial community are holding their bills in reserve,
and the applications both at the Bank and out of
doors show a considerable diminution.
The operations at the Bullion-office of the Bank
Yesterday comprised an influx of £B,OOO, and a
withdrawal of £3,000 for the Continent.
It is stated that Mr. George Furness, contractor,
has been obliged to seek the indulgence of his
_creditors. The liabilities are understood to be large,
but nothing is yet known as to the assets.
It was announced yesterday evening that the
acceptances of the old and respectable firm of
William Rattray and Co., West India merchants,
had been returned unpaid. The liabilities are esti-
laated at £70,000, and the stoppage is stated to
have arisen from the impossibility of obtaining the
usual advances, owing to the state of the money
and produce markets. The books have been placed
14, the hands of Mr. W. J. White, accountant, and
'ne liquidation is expected to be favourable. An-
nexed is the circular issued to the creditors :
