NONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The directors of the Bank of England have held
their usual weekly court, and have separated with-
out making any reduction in the rate of discount.

Two o'CLocx.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the French Rentes were 70f. Oc.
Great agithtion.

All thelnarkets of the Stock Exchange are buoy-
ant, although the Bank directors have not reduced
the minimum rate of interest and discount. The
policy of the Court, however, has been productive
of little, if any, surprise, owing to the peculiar situa-
tion of monetary affairs. At the present moment there
is a considerable amelioration and much activity.
The improvement is mainly due to the rumour that
the Continental war is virtually at an end; in fact, it is
already stated that an armistice has been proclaimed.
The British Funds have risen per cent., and
Italian Stock is 11 per cent. higher than it was yes-
terday afternoon. These movements are very sig-
nificant, and it is only to be hoped that they have
been established on a truthful basis—peace. Con-
soLs are 87 for money and the 13th inst., and
871 Q for August. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities have been dealt in at 86a ; Exchequer
Bills, at 3s. dis. to ss. prem. ; Bank Stock, at 244 ;
India Stock, at 2071 ; and ditto 5 per Cents.,

Great activity has prevailed in the Foreign Stock
Market, and prices are, in almost every instance,
higher. Turkish 5 per Ceuts. have risen 3 per
cent. to 31 ; Italian, 11 to 57 ; Spanish Passive,
1/ to 19/ ; Certificates, /to 15i ; Mexican, /to

United States 5-20 Bonds have advanced 2* to
67-k 68i ; Erie Shares, 1i to 34 39i ; and Illinois,
3 to 77 78.

bourg, to 12i 13i ; East Indian, to 100; 1001 ; and

ment has taken place in prices. South- Eastern
