MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market is well supplied with floating
capital, but there is a very small demand for it for
commercial purposes. The rates are consequently
very easy at 4 and 4k per cent. for the best short
dated paper. Loans, in the Stock Exchange are in
request at 4 per cent. prem. day to day, owing to
the settlement now in progress.
The Stock Exchange Markets generally present a
steady appearance, but the business chiefly nego-
tiated has been in connection with the arrangement
of the bi-month]y settlement. Some of the specula-
tors, who recently operated for a fall in prices, have
Oversold, and the repurchasing has caused an im-
provement, especially in railway shares. The funds
are firm, and Consols have advanced k per cent. to
891 for money, and to 89i a for the account.
Gold, amounting to £6,000, was taken to the
Bank of England yesterday afternoon.
The Tasmanian, from the West Indies, has ar-
rived with £139,433.
At the twenty-seventh half-yearly meeting of
the Bank of Victoria, held at Melbourne on the
7th August last, the balance-sheet to the 30th June
submitted showed an available balance of £39,065
35., out of which a dividend at the rate of 10 per
cent. was declared, £25,000, leaving £14,065 3s. to
be carried forward.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts for
the past week are, in several instances, more satis-
factory. At Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, a
moderate amount of business has been done in win-
ter goods, and there has been some inquiry for
spring fabrics. At Manchester cloths and yarns
bare been in fair request at a slight advance. In
the hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Notting-
ham there has not been much variation, but a more
cheerful tone has prevailed in the hardware districts
of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton,
owing to the more settled state of affairs in Ger-
many, money-orders for those markets, which had
been previously counterbalanced, having been again
issued.

There was rather more animation in the general
business of the port of London last week. At the
Custom-house 249 vessels were reported as having
arrived from foreign parts, and there was one from
Ireland. The entries outwards have been 95 vessels,
and those cleared with cargo 99, besides 26 were de-
spatched in ballast. The departures from the Aus-
tralian colonies have been five vessels—viz., four to
Port Philip and one to New Zealand, the tonnage
of which has been 4,176.

We have often had occasion to make honourable
mention of this name in the columns of The Anglo-
American Times. It is a very gratifying circum-
stance that the high. opinion we expressed of his
merits has been universally approved by our readers.
Our purpose has not been to flatter Mr. FIELD, or t
to indulge in anything akin to a fulsome eulogy.
He is far above and beyond aught of this kind. As
faithful chroniclers of passing events, we have re-
corded the facts of his public career, being perfectly
content to leave our contemporaries and posterity
to do him justice.
Recent occurrences, especially in connection with
the Atlantic Cable Banquet, at Liverpool, have again
called attention to the name of Mr. FIELD. It will
be remembered that he was officially noticed in that
brilliant commemorative occasion by the noble lord
who presided. The regret was expressed by the
distinguished chairman that it was not in the power
of her Majesty, Queen VICTORIA, to bestow the
well-earned honour of Knighthood on Mr. FIELD,
coupled with the avowed opinion that if it were
tendered to that gentleman it would probably be
declined.

We are not in the councils of Mr. FIELD, and
know nothing of his private convictions with regard
to regal honours. It is not for us, therefore, or, in-
deed, for any one but himself, to state how far he
may agree on that subject with Mr. GEORGE PEA-
BODY. Neither is it to be presumed that the titled
presiding officer of the banquet at Liverpool had
held any communication with Mr. FIELD touching
this matter, because, if he had done so, he would
undoubtedly have announced it to the guests at
that memorable board. No one could suppose that
Mr. FIELD knew that any allusion would be made
to him, or, that, if he had a right to infer it, he
would offer any suggestions with reference to the
part he has taken, from the inception of the idea
and commencement, to the successful close of this
world-wide enterprise. What Mr. FIELD has done
in the work of laying the Atlantic Telegraph Cable
is before the nations ; and no patent of nobility can
add one jot or tittle to his hard-won honours. There
stand the facts on the fair pages of history; and
there they will stand as long as the ocean rolls its
waves, or the electric flash shall pass through its
wide and deep waters.
It cannot, and will not, be denied that Mr. FIELD
was one of the first men, either in England or
America, to move in this matter. It was he who
drew up the first papers. He obtained the first
subscriptions. He persevered when almost all
others gave way. He crossed and recrossed the bil-
lows, beneath which the wire was to be laid, oftener
than any other man, for the sole purpose of per-
fecting those plans without which the work would
never have been done. He bore the scoffs and
sneers of unbelievers, the cold rebuffs of calculating
financiers, the callous indifference of the unthinking
mass, the jealousies of rival interests, the secret
and avowed hatreds of national animosities,
through winter and summer, through sunshine and
storm ; and, in the midst of all this, he never fal-
tered for a day—no, not for an hour.

Anglo-American Time:, we have no complaint to
make with regard to the course of British states-
men and publicists toward Mr. FIELD. It is for
them to decide as to the standard of duty in this
case. They are as well aware as we are that all
they and we may say and do in such a public con-
cern must be passed in review by posterity. If they
have done justice to Mr. FIELD, well. If not, pos-
terity will do it for him.—Anglo-American Times.

MARKETS.---This Day.

MARK
In the country markets, held on Saturday, the demand
for good and fine dry wheats ruled steady, at full prices ;
but as regards damp produce, the trade was in an active
state, on former terms. Fine barley was firm in price ;
but middling qualities sold heavily at barely late rates.
For other articles the demand ruled quiet, at late quota-
tions.
On the Continent, the trade for wheat and flour rules
firm, at full quotations. At Now York the amount of busi-
ness done in wheat and flour for export to Great Britain is

small.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week, were but moderate. The imports purchased con-
sisted of 21,352 quarters of wheat ; 3,596 barely; 36,374
oats ; 30,000 linseed ; 1,592 raps and oil seeds.; 375 sun-
dry seeds ; and 2,065 sacks of flour.
About an average business was transacted in flour, at
fully rate rates. Several parcels of Russian flour have re-
cently been received from Moscow via St. Petersburg. Tho
quality is fine, the price being 50s. to 525. per sack of
2801bs. Town made advanced t.) 535. per 280 lbs.
East India linseed and rapeseed ruled firm, at quite late

rates.
Other seeds met a slow sale, on former terms.
The cake trade was firm, and American qualities realised
an advance of 2s. 6d. per ton.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day was very moderate, and the total supply
of home-grown produce on offer was somewhat restricted.
There were several buyers from Yorkshire and Liverpool
in attendance, and the supply of wheat was taken off
readily, at an advance in price, as compared with Monday
last, of fully is. per quarter.
The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat.
Dry parcels were in request, and changed hands at rather
more money. Damp produce was firm in price.
Floating cargoes of wheat were in request, and transac-
tions were concluded on French account. Prices were
rather higher than on Monday last. Spring corn afloat
realised full quotations.
The supply of barley on sale was but moderate. Fine
parcels changed hands at fully late rates. Secondary anti
inferior qualities wero dull, at the recent decline in their
value. _ .

There was a fair demand for malt at late rates.
The market was moderately supplied with oats. There
was a good sale for most qualities at an advance in the
quotations of is. per quarter.
Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled steady
at late rates.
Peas supported last Monday's quotations with a mode-
rate demand. The market was scantily supplied.
