The commercial demand for money is de-
cidedly below what is usually experienced
at this period of the quarter. Until the divi-
dend money comes upon the market, bankers
and discounters appear to be in hopes that
they will be able to keep up the rates, but the
quarter turned it is probable that the supply of
money will increase. There is nothing in the
present condition of trade to render the market
active, and the demand arising from the recent
foreign loans has now been for the most part satis-
fied.
There is a rumour that the amount of the pro-
posed Portuguese Loan is larger than has been
mentioned, 5,000,0001. of stock being now spoken
of, instead of 2,000,0001. It is also said that 44
per cent. ex div. is contemplated as the price of
issue, but this seems to present an inadequate margin.
The loan will probably be negotiated through
Messrs. Knowles and Foster.

' day was 32,0001.

Friday. _
A dividend of 2m 6d. in the pound on the estate
of Mr. J. W. Shillito, wholesale grocer, who failed
in March last, will be paid to-day (Tuesday) at
the offices of Messrs. Theodore Jones and Co., the
accountants. This, with the dividend already paid,
will make 9s. in the pound, the amount originally
offered to be guaranteed ; and it is expected there
will be another small dividend in a few weeks.
In the Court of Bankruptcy yesterday a further

horsemen, making, with the dividends already
