ZIONIY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is but a comparatively slight demand for
discount accommodation for commercial purposes,
and with a perceptible increase in the supplies of
floating capital at the command of the joint-stock
banks the rate in the open money market is show-
ing a downward direction. For superior paper of
short-date 8i or 9 per cent. is asked, and exceptional
operations on lower terms have also been concluded.
Au encouraging feeling is apparent in consequence
of the continued favourable tendency in the Paris
exchanges and the large inflow of gold into the
vaults of the Bank of England.
The gold taken to the Bank yesterday repre-
sented £26,000 in bars, and 113,000 sovereigns.
A second dividend of 2s. Gd. has been announced
by the liquidator of the London, Hamburgb, and
Continental Exchange Bank, making, with the pre-
vious dividend, 9s. 2d. in the pound.

According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-
day, the French Rentes were 68f. 90c. Rather
fi.tra• Very little business.
The majority of the mercantile community can
obtain accommodation on terms, accidents excepted,
below the minimum of the Bank of England.
Those who are carefully watching the progress of
events and collateral influenceswill not be surprised
if the bank directors lower their minimum next
Thursday, or within the next fortnight, without any
interference on the part of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer; who is fully competent to deal with
anY question of finance. The manner in which
be has replied in proper terms to the proposi-
tions that have been made by various depu-
tations introduced by members of Parliament
has been most commendable, and there is every
reason to believe that he will treat the question upon
the principle of non-intervention, since every one
unbiassed must perceive that affairs, checked though
they may be, are returning to a healthy condition.
A few sales to realise profits have caused a decline
of I per cent. in the value of Consols, which, there-
fore, are now 871 1 for money, and 881 1 for the
6th proximo. Money being easier, and political
Prospects favourable, it is rather strange that more
buoyancy should not exist, but dullness and heavi-
4ese May be chiefly attributed to the limited at-
tendance of investors and speculators. The New

Ia the :Railway Share Market the transactions

Prices, however, have generally shown a downward
movement. Great Eastern have declined 11, Lan;
