ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERGIU INTELLIGENUA,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

unproved inquiry for most classes of Congou, which
have been comparatively neglected of late, owing to

a quiet market, and the recent arrivals of best
qualities alone command any special notice.

amount of business transacted. Sugars have brought

been deferred until the public sales, which commence
to-day
while in rice there has been a moderate
business reported. The dealings in tallow have
been rather inactive, but quotations generally re-
Main steady.

tion, the City clergy, ward clerks, vestry clerks,
ace., and much useful information, being a complete
guide to the various officers of the Corporation and
the City generally. It is published by W. H. Col-
dridge, City Press, Aldersgate-street, and the pre-
sent issue is calculated to sustain the reputation of
the publication.
