ONEY MARKET

AND

COMADIROIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
An increased demand for monetary accommoda-
tion is perceptible to-day ira the general discount
market, and the rates are consequently a little
firmer, viz., 51 and 6 per cent. The available
balances are, however, abundant, and as the addi-
tional Inquiries at the present time are only re-
garded as temnorary, the public still look forward
with confidence for a reduction is the official quo-
tation on Thursday next.
A further sum of £24,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The Stock Exchange Committee have decided
not to grant a settlement in the shares of the Aus
tralian and Eistern Navigation Company.
During the last few days there hats not been much
animation exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets. Tea, however, has been in fair
request at fall rates. Sugars have remained at
steady prices, while the operations in rice, coffee,
cocoa, and fruit have been to an average extent at
about previous rates. Ire the tallow market there
has been no material change, the dealings for
both present and forward delivery having been
somewhat curtailed.

The twenty third annual meeting of the share-
holders of the North British Australasian Company
Was held to-day—Mr. Eastace Anderson in the
chair. The revenue account showed a net profit of
receipts cver expenditure of £11,281, and from this
divisible balance the directors proposed a dividend
at the rate of 5 per cent, free of income tax.
A Special meeting of the shareholders of the
National Company for Boatbuilding by Machinery
was held to-day for the purpose of considering a
proposition for winding up the affairs of the under-
taking, and for transferring the business, plant,
&C., &e., to another company to be hereafter
formed, entitled the London Boat and Barge
Builcting Company. The consideration for the
exchange of the property, Seca, to consist of the
payment of £17,600, beirg one-fifth of the whole
paid-up capital in shares of the new company. Col.
Sykes, M.P, occupied the chair, and informed the
meeting that the directors were competled to take
the step proposed in consequence of their inability
to continue operations without a larger capital, and
of the non-compliance of the shareholders to in-
crease the amount by the issue of debentures.
The Sabloniere Foreign Hotel Company has
been brought forward for the purpose of
purchasing the site upon which the cele-
brated establishment in Leicester-square, which
auPplies the title to the undertaking, now stands;
and also the lease, business, stock, goodwill, and
freehold of property a-joining, and to rebuild an
hotel on the improved models adopted on the con-
tinent. In the cuisine department especially the
tastes and wants of foreigners will be consulted.
The ; ;
poswon of tne establishment is well eitua ea,
being but a short distance from the Charing cross
Railway Station. The services of the late pro
prietor have been retained as manager. Part of
the purchase-money is to be paid in shares, and
interest upon the amount paid up at 5 per cent. per
annum will be allowed to shareholders unlit the
completion of the new hotel. The capital required
i 514100,000 in shares of £2O each.
