ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

The prospectus of " The London" Hotel Com-
pany has been issued with a proposed capital of
£55,000 in 5,500 of £lO each, £1 payable on ap-
plication, and £4 on allotment. The association is
formed for the purpose of converting "The London"
into a company, under the provisions of the Act
of 1862. The Directors refer to the fact that there
is no class of enterprise which derives greater
benefit from the application of the new act than
that of public places of entertainment, and quote
as illustrations the success of the London Tavern
and Albion Hotel, which were carried into operation
only six months since, and the shares now stand at
50 per cent. premium, while the business has in..
creased to an unprecedented extent, which they
attribute to the combined interest of so many
shareholders. There is no doubt but that " The
Landon" has attained a most satisfactory position
under its late able management, and that its profits
have been highly remunerative, and by this organi-
sation may be considerably augmented. The pro-
perty proposed to be purchased consists of the lease
of the premises for 33 years, with good-will, furni.
tare, &c., at the priced .04,500, one-half of which
is to be taken in shares, with £7 credited thereon.
The present manager has agreed to undertake the
Management of the company's business for three
years for one-half the profits after the payment of
a 121 per cent. dividend gu iranteed on all the
capital invested. The gentlemen who form the
board are eminently practical and responsible men,
Whose names will inspire confidence in the project.

Two o'CLock.

At the Paris Bourso this morning, according to
Reuter's telegrams, the Three per Cent. Rentea
Were quoted 65f. 75c. Fiat.
At the first meeting of shareholders to-day of the
Public Works Credit Company, the directors
recommended that, in addition to the bonus of £1
per share already proposed, a dividend at the rate
of 10 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, be
declared.

No alteration has taken place to-day in the mar-
ket for the English Funds, and only a limited
amount of business has been transacted. Consols
are 90 k for transfer, and 901 for the account.
The procceedings have been quite devoid of interest.
The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are
marked 89 ; India 5 per Cents., 104 k ; ditto
4 per Cants. Enfaced, 941.
In the Foreign Market there is nothing new of
importance, beyond a rise of 1 per cent., and a sub-
sequent partial reaction, in Greek Bonds; they
have been 24/ 25, but are now 24} I, or higher
than on the previous afternoon. Mexican are 44;
; Spanish Passive, 291 ; ditto Certificates, 91

the Confederate Loan, 62 64,
In the Railway Share Market the principal
business attended to has been the settlement of the
account ; prices, however, have in most instances
been firmer. Great Western have advanced 10s. ;
North-Western, 155.; Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln, £1; Lancashire and Yorkshire, £1 58, ;
and Great Northern A Stock, L 2 ; while Metro•
politan have declined ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit little
animation, at about previous prices.
Bank and Miecillaneous Shares remain very
inactive, but in some instances are a shade firmer.
Chamounis Hotel Company Snares are quoted
11 prem., and Ebbw Vale, 11 2 prem.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
One of the largest private undertakings that have
yet been converted into a limited joint-stock com-
pany is the Ebbw Vale Collieries and Ironworks,
which are to be constituted as the Ebbw Vale Com-
pany, and for which a capital of £4,000,000 in
shares of £5O each is required. An idea of the ex-
tent of the property may be gathered from the fact
that it comprises 3,254 acres of freehold land and
Mints, 2,137 acres of leasehold mines, 700 acres of
mines held under the Crown, and about nine miles
in length of the spathose iron ore veins in Somer-
setshire, together with 2,000 houses and cottages,
accommodating a population of 15,000 persons.
The rentals from land, farms, and houses amount to
£14,000 a year; the collieries produce 850,000 tons
of coal annually, which could at little extra cost be
increased to 1,500,000 ; and the yield of ironstone
is 280,000 tons, which could be increased to 450,000.
There are 23 blast furnaces on the estate, 16 of
Which are in operation,yielding at present annually
about 130,000 tons of pig iron. About 90,000 tons
of rails and finished iron are sold annually, which,
with the present pant, could be raised to 120,000.
The valuations of the property have been carefully
made, and the magnitude its operations has attained
is stated to be the only reason for its conversion
into a public company.
