From The London Journal Of Commerce, Oct 81.
Notwithstanding that there is no improve
ment worth notice in the rates OF exchange
with the continent, Money is decidedly ea.ieT
in the discount market than at the date OF oui
last publication. The highest charge for iils
class commercial bills IS now 81 per cent. with
out commission, and, indeed, bills OF good
repute are discounted nearly at the same rate
bv the banking houses. There is no ground tt
believe that the Bank of England has relaxed
the strain upon the circulation, but, from the
confidence placed in the large discount houses,
and theiI extensive command OF capital, the
power of the Bank of England is obviously
much curtailed and held in check.
There is strong feeling against the attempt
of the Bank to force farther reduction in the
valnp of manufactured goods, and correspond
ing disposition to resist IT on the part of the
whole banking interest, with the exception,
| perhaps. of few ofthe private bankers in town.
The influence of the measures adopted by the
bank has, however, been more felt IN the man
nfacturing districts in the north than it has been
in town, in consequence OF the tluliditv OF some
of the bankers inducing them to TeiGse all
paper having more than two months to run.
But there is no probability of this impression
continuing, as some of the leading discount
f0uses in town have, within these TWO days,
given preference to longer dated bills nearly
at the same rate ofdiscount as the short, CLEARLY
indicating an opinion, that the present value
Of money will not be long sustained.
The bankers balances, returnable or call,
are not worth more than 4 per cent, but per
cent is given for fixed periods not exceeding a
month. On the stock exchanges short loane
| on British securities can be obtained tins week
at 4 per cent, and at that rate money is not
much in demand.
| Money was generally easier in the city to-
DAY, in consequence ofthe increased confidence
felt among all classes from the non-adoption
of any farther restrictive measures at the
( Bank Parlor meetings yesterday. Two months
bills were done at to 81 per cent, and longer
dates in proportion, and according 10 the quaIi-
ty of The paper.
