MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market is active, and the quotations
of the brokers are assuming a firmer tendency. A
large number of bills held over in expectation of a
reduction yesterday in the rate, and the engage-
ments that will have to be provided for to-morrow, the
4th of the month, are the chief causes operating in
favour of high values for a time. The rates in the
Open market, however, show no important change,
and 8 per cent. must still be quoted the lowest
charge for the best paper.
The alterations shown in the Bank of England
return are important, but the favourable movement
in the bullion has been negatived by the decrease in
the reserve of notes. Subjoined are the parti-
culars :-.

The Bank of France return shows an increase of
£69,332 in the bullion, of £600,000 in the notes in
circulation, and a diminution of £560,000 in the
bills discounted, and of £224,000 in the current
accounts, and of £48,000 in the advances.

Two o'CLocr.

At the Paris Bourse, this morning, according to
Reuter's telgram, the 3 per cent. Rentes were 69f.

The English Stock Market is very dull and de-
pressed, owing chiefly to the unfavourable prospect
of the Money Market, and the inclement state of
the weather and its effect upon harvest operations.
Consols have receded per cent, to 881 a for
money, and to 87i for the acccount ; for Sep-
tember next the quotations are 881 The New

5 per Cents., 103 ; India 5 per Cents., 1021 1031 ;
ditto 4 per Cents., 921 ; ditto Enfaced 5 per
Cents., 100 ; ditto 51 per Cents., 1051; and ditto
