MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The proclamation published in yesterday's Ga-
zette about the light coinage has created a considerable sensa-
tion in the City. The bankers have already been weighing
every sovereign singly tor two days, and to-day the shopkeepers
are beginning to act on the some principle, so that no light
sovereign will pass as current. Much, of course, is said of the
loss which the holders will incur by suddenly having their
sovereigns reduced from the nominal to the bullion value ; but
the general impression is that the evil of a light coinage had
reached such a pitch that it was necessary sonic remedy, even
if a violent one, should be taken to arrest its progress. For
some time past the bankers have been unable to refuse to take
light coinage, lest they should offend their customers, and the
consequence was, that they were encumbered with a quantity of
coin which was inadmissible at the Bank of England. A simi-
lar difficulty occurred at the Stamp, and other revenue offices,
and the complaints of individuals who, having a coin that was
considered a legal tender in all transactions of business, could
not pass it at Somerset House, were often repeated. By the
proclamation, at least, the anomaly is put an end to according
to which a coin which was currency between man and man
was not currency with respect to payments to the Govern-
ment. Much inconvenience, of course, arises at first from
the money being slowly weighed at the bankers and the
puhFc having a considerable quantity of coin forced back
upon their hands, but this inconvenience will, it is expected,
have its attendant good, and the vigilar.c which those who
receive gold coin wil be found to exercise in their own defence
will prove a serious check to the practice of " sweating,"
which has deteriorated the coin to a great extent. That
there is much dissatisfaction on the subject is, of course, neces-
sary. in a matter which will entail a loss on so many of the
holders of gold coin; and among other complaints is one that an
office has not been formally appointed to take the sovereigns
at bullion value—a complaint which is founded on the belief, ,
that the holders of light sovereigns will be driven to the bullion
merchants, who would, of course, pay only seich a price as would
allow a profit to themselves, and thus the holder would sustain
a further lost, in addition to that created by the difference
between the nominal and the bullion value of the coin. How-
ever, the fact that the Mint is ready to coin all bullion that is
taken to them would seem sufficient to obviate all alarm of that
sort.

214 22* ; Spanish, 22 224 for the live per Cents., and 224 23
for the Three per Cents.
A particular class of persons connected with City business are
loudly complaining of the new regulation respecting the
coinage, namely, the bankers' clerks. The representations
made by these gentlemen are worthy of attention, inasmuch as
they may be taken as an index of the feeling of the commu-
nity in general. It is stated that the number of unpaid bills
now brotight back tar exceeds what was formerly the case,
while their labour in collecting them was more than doubled ;
turd this, not arising from commercial embarrasment, but in
`consequence of the coin provided being short in weight. If
this inconvenience be felt by those parties, it has been asked
hOw much more severe sufferers the persona must be who have
to provide other money, and lose time in running to a banker's
and taking up the bills.

George's, Camberwell, the lady of the Rev. Samuel Smith
