ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is very little business doing in the city,
although the attmlance is larger than is usual on a
Derby Day. The heavy engagements in which all
classes have recently been participating, and the
nurserwas failures that have occurred, have some-
damped the ardour of commercial men for the
races. A quieter and more confident feeling, how-
ever, is very manifest in discount circles, and there
.leas eagerness evinced to obtain accommodation.
There is still a very active demand at the Bank of
England for assistance, but more inclination is shown
by the brokers to negotiate business.
There was a withdrawal of V 3,000 in gold from
the Bank yesterday for the Continent.
The demand for silver for the Continent has been
brisk during the last few days, and as the supply-
was small several amounts in gold have been with-
drawn for transmission there. The bar silver
brought by the last West India packet has been
sold at ss. lid. per ounce standard for Hamburg,
being an advance of id. on the price last obtained.
The following circular has been issued by the old
and respectable firm of Messrs. Hallett, Ommanney,
and Co., bankers and navy agents, announcing their
suspension of payments. The debts and liabilities
are not stated, but are supposed to be considerable.
It is feared that one of the partners has heavy com-
b:laments with various public enterprises :—" In
consequence of the recent extraordinary pressure in
the money-market, and the impossibility to realise
securities, we are under the painful necessity of sus-
pending our payments. We have placed our books
in the hands of Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs,
and Co., who will as speedily as possible prepare a
statement of our affairs to lay before our creditors,
whose indulgence we earnestly crave."
