AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Stock Markets have rather a different tone to
that reported yesterday, when Foreign Stocks wore
animated, and Railways were generally dull. This
morning jot the reverse is experienced. Railways
are better and Foreign Bonds are dull. Among the
former.. Metropolitan have recovered per cent. upon
the traffic receipts showing a large increase as the
result of the extended line. Midland, London and
Great Western, and Caledonian are fractionally
higher. The Funds are firm. Among other Shares,
Alliance Bank are very flat, at 13i discount.
The commercial demand for money continues to be
of a fair character, and it is probable that until the
payment of the dividends next week the market will
continue firm at the present rates, viz., 1 to la per
cent.
The corn market is dull, but without quotable de-
cline.
