X ONE Y MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is still a tendency towards greater easi-
ness in the general discount market, althongh the
bankers and brokers appear reluctant to relax
their terms at present. There appears to be a
growing iir.pression that the favourable specie
movement, the satisfactory harvest prospects, and
other influences will lead to a reduction in the
rates in the course of a few weeps.

Important changes are shown in the Bank of
England return for the week ending Wednesday
Wednesday last, especially as regards the bullion,
the other securities, the public deposits, and pri-
vate balances.

During the last few days there has bee❑ rather
less activity exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets. Tea, at public auction, sold
slowly at previous rates, while Sugar was in steady
request. Coffee has remained dull, and prices have
given way abuut 6d. to ls. per cwt., owing to the
large stocks on hand. Rice, fruit, and spices were
without change in value, while tallow continued
dull for both present and forward delivery.
The prospectus has appeared of the Oil Seed
Crushing Company, which proposes to purchase
some seed crushing mills at Dover, and to carry on
this description of business upon a very extensive
scale. These mills are stated to be exceedingly
large, and to have been lately fitted up with ma-
chinery upon the most approved principles. They
are admirably situated, being contiguous to the
harbour of Dover, and possessing the command
of two railways, thus affording facilities for foreig❑
imports on the distribution of goods throughout the
kingdom. The directors regard the future deve-
lopment of this trade with great certainty, and
show from returns the large increase that has taken
place both of exports and imports of oil seeds during
the past two years. The consumption of of oil seed
cake is stated to have advanced in a still greater
ratio, establishing the fact that oil cake is an article
of permanent and increasingly extensive demand.
The nominal capital required is £500,000, but only
£lOO,OOO is to form the first issue. The shares are
.£2O each.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the annual meeting of the Peel River Land and
Mineral Company, !Aid to-day, the report presented
to the shareholders for adoption recommended the
payment of a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent.,
free of income tax, on and after the Ist September
next. The value of the wool clip was estimated at
£17,000, which, beiug added to the sum at the credit
of the revenue and expenditure account, made a
total of £19,645.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent, Rentes were
