COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The money market presents a less active appear-
ance to-day than it did during the latter part of
last week. There is, however, a good many bills
in circulation, and although the floating capital is
abundant, the rates are firm, and 8 per cent. is
the lowest quotation for first-class paper.
Gold to the amount of £25,000 was taken to the
Bank of England on Saturday.
It is reported that the stoppage of the Corrgle-
ton Old Bank is but a small affair, the liabilities
being estimated at £B,OOO to £lO,OOO, and the assets
at £3,000.

Prom the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week represent that business generally
has shown very little improvement in most departL,
'bents. At Manchester there has been a very limited
Slightly
inquiry for both cloths and yarns, and prices have
given way. The woollen trade of Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield has remained very
quiet, and only moderate transactions have been
entered into in autumn goods. At Leicester and
Nottingham the hosiery and lace business has been
exceedingly dull, while in the hardware districts of
Birnaingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton de-
pression has generally prevailed.

Reuter's telgram, the 3 per cent. Rentes were 69f.

An idea that the downfall of rain may seriously
affect the results of the harvest has led to several
speculative sales on the Stock Exchange, and Con-
sols are k per cent. lower, in consequence the latest
prices being 87t j for money, and 88} 1 for the
September account. Business of all kinds, however,
continues very quiet, and the attendance is limited.

United States 5-20 Bonds have risen 1- to 68i 1;
Illinois, Ito 401 I ; but Erie Shares have declined
I to 401 f.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are quiet. Alli-
ance have receded to 191 19 ; Chartered Mercantile
of India, London, and China are at 33 34 ; Anglo-
American Telegraph Company, at 121 13 ; Credit
Foncier and Mobilier of England, at 31 dis. ; and

Business in the Corn Market :has been rather
dull, but fully lates are demanded by factors for
both home grown and foreign wheat.
In the Railway Share Market there has been very
little animation, and prices generally are a shade
tatter. Midland, Metropolitan, Lancashire and
Yorkshire, and Great Eastern have each declined
62', and Great Northern A Stock, 103.

and Without material change in values,
