MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL, iNTELLIGENON.

TWELVE o'CLocK.
The inquiries for money to-day in the Discount
Market are not particularly active, yet the rates
are well sustained, capitalists showing little dispo-
sition to relax their their terms even for the best
quality of mercantile bills. There seems, however,
to be an opinion that some increase of ease will be
experienced, especially as a check has been given
to the wholesale introduction of ephemeral under-
takings. Those now submitted to the public are,
for the most part, genuine, yet the prospects are
somewhat marred by the heavy calls which week
after week are officially notified. The activity
of trade will no doubt sustain an average demand
for discount accommodation, and this impression
prevailing the market for the moment exhibits a
steady appearance.

Therew- as a further influx of £19,000 of Gold
into the Bank of England yesterday.
The movements of the precious metals during the
past week have been on a rather moderate scale.
The imports have amounted to about £242,984,
chiefly from Australia and New York ; while the
exports have been to the extent of £237,659, a
large proportion of which has been to the East
Indies and China.

In the Railway Share Market there has been very
little animation, and prices have not varied to any
important extent. Great Eastern have declined
10s. ; and London, Chatham, and Dover, ss. ;
while North Eastern (Berwick) have improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines generally remain
at about former values.

in some instances showing rather less firmness. Im-
perial Ottoman are dealt in at 12 12f ; Chartered

THE PROGRESS OF RUSSIA.—
Petersburg state that a Russian a Advices from St.
artist is preparing for the
Paris Exhibition of next year an allegorical representation
of the events in the reign of the present Czar. A group of
atricultural implements denotes the progress of the country
in that branch of industry. A broken chain typifies the
abolition of serfdom. Figures of Hope, Faith, and Charity
connnemorate the publicity of judicial proceedings, reli-
gious toleration, and the abolition of corporal punishment,
There Seems in this design to be no reference to Poland or
cassia.
