AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE o'CLocK.
There is no alteration this morning in the position
of affairs in the discount market. The supply of
capital afloat is abundant, but the rates continue
very firm at 71 and 7} per cent. for short-dated

sum of £15,000 was taken into the Bank of
England on Saturday afternoon.
The Mediator, from Melbourne has arrived this
morning with £9,984.
The following
Tur is the report of Messrs. Coleman,
quand, Youngs, and Co., Messrs. Quilter, Ball,
and Co., and Mr. Allen, who were appointed by
the. directors of the Imperial Mercantile Credit As-
sociation to examine the accounts and securities, in
order to reassure the shareholders with regard to
certain adverse rumours which have been so
in-
JUriously circulated to the prejudice of the corn-
Paa3r
:
"That the result of a careful examination in detail of
I;athe Securities shows, according to the best available infor-
ation, that they, together with the amount of profits in
ne
and undivided, are of sufficient value to cover
'thin about £lOO,OOO, the full amount of the several ad-
Vance
to provide for the present depreciated value of other invest-
although, owing to the nature of certain of the
securities, and partly to the large amounts in which some
of them are held, they are not all immediately convertible.
The examination dates to the 14th ult."
t The advises from most of the principal manufac-
bring districts report that last week less activity
Prevailed owing to the advance in the ue money
and the unsettled state of politicalval affairs onthe
continent. Considerable depression has prevailed
i
the Liverpool Cotton Market ; while at Man-
limited !ie!iter both cloths and yarns have been dealt in to
extent, at a further decline. In the woollen
districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield less
shop,titY has prevailed, although prices generally
no material alteration. At Leicester and
~lottingham the hosiery and lace trades have been
F3l:4°nably active, while in thelhardware district sof
t—trritingharn, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there
'5B been little change of importance.

Ilenetary and political affairs are still exercising
_44 eXtreme deg,ree of depressive influence over the
ranlarkets for stocks and shares. The different depart-
._elits may be said to be in a state of debility, but
134 g there is really nothing to mar the general pro-
ptiect.s of the Country, a reaction may be confidently
•t tfielpated. Consols are 861 1 for money, and 86/
