MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Excessive quietude prevails in the Stock Ex-
change, the Money Market, and the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets. In all these quarters
business is dull, and there appears no likelihood of
an early revival. In discount circles there is a very
plentiful supply of floating capital, and although
the rates are easy at 41 and 41 per cent. for the
negotiation of the best paper, the requirements of
the commercial public are comparatively trifling,
and the inquiry for accommodation is therefore very
limited. At the Stock Exchange quotations have
varied, although only to a slight extent. The
Funds are a little weak upon the settlement, which
will be concluded to-morrow. Consols are 89k I
for money, and 89; k for November.
To-morrow (Tuesday) is expected to be issued
the report of the Committee of Investigation of the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company.
The bullion operations at the Bank of England
on Saturday afternoon were of an. unimportant
character.

The reports from several of the principal manu-
facturing districts state that during the past week
business has slightly improved. At Manchester the
operations in both cloths and yarns have been to a
moderate extent, and prices have ruled a shade
higher. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford,
and Huddersfield the dealings in autumn and winter
goods have been to a fair extent, while more anima-
tion has prevailed in the hoisery and lace depart-
ments of Leicester and Nottingham. In the hard-
ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol-
verhampton, however, there has been little change
of importance, and in some branches the operatives
are only partially employed.
