MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMXRCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCE:
About £B,OOO in gold was taken out of the Bank
yesterday.
The drain upon the resources both of the joint
Mock and private establishments, as well as upon
the Bank of England, for discount purposes during
the past week, prepared in a measure the public
not to expect any reduction to-day in the official
minimum. The large demand for monetary accom.
Modation, both for mercantile and other require-
ments, has enabled the brokers in the open market
to keep up their quotations to the level of the Bank
rate, and notwithstanding this increased charge, a
good business has all along been negotiated out of
doors.

The directors of the Metropolitan and Provincial
Bank have resolved to issue to the present share-
holders the additional shares authorised by the
_Special meeting of proprietors of the 26th January
last at a premium of £4 per share.
A.dvices from Turin mention that the Royal de-
cree has been signed for the formation of the Anglo-
talian Bank.
A special meeting of the Atlantic Telegraph Com-
paq was held to-day. The Hon. J. Stuart Wort-
ley, who occupied the chair, stated in detail the
contract made with Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co.,
for the manufacture and laying of the cable. A
resolution was passed approving of the negotiation.
It was also unanimously agreed to increase the
the unguaranteed capital by the creation of 6,807
!hares of £2O each, representing £137,140, and to
Issue debentures amounting to £lOO,OOO. It was
Stated that the contractors would accept £250,000
for a portion of their own expenses in paid-up pre-
ference shares of the company, instead of cash.
The Factage Parisien held its half-yearly meeting
to-day. The report of the directors states that to the
' Present time the expenditure has exceeded the
receipts, which circumstance arises from the un-
avoidable outlay always attendant upon the estab-
lishment of a large and novel enterprise. As, how-
ever, the organisation is becoming developed, the
expenses are being gradually reduced, while, on the
other hand, the receipts from the local business are
steadily increasing.
The shares of the National Provincial Marine
Were in demand at 1 to 11 prem.; and the Bonelli
Telegraph Company's shares commenced at 1,
Closing at 1-1 prem.
