ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMZECIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Saturday is usually a quiet day in the general
money market, but the falling off in the number of
bills for discount is on the present occasion more
than ordinarily conspicuous. There is an abun-
dance of floating capital, with very little inclination
to borrow it on the present terms, a further reduc-
tion being considered imminent.
There was a general decline in the foreign ex=

changes yesterday afternoon.
About £73,000 in bar gold was taken into the
Bank yesterday.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to £340,228, and the exports to
£447,644.
It has transpired that Messrs. Barnett, boares,
and Co., and Messrs. Hanbury and Lloyd, bankers,
of Lombard-street, have amalgamated.

The report of the Trust and Loan Company of
Upper Canada for the half year ending March last,
has been issued. The net profits during this period
amount to £14,095 6s. 7d., which, added to the
sum brought forward from September, gives a
balance at credit of revenue of £14,322 17s.
7d. The Directors recommend that out of
this balance a dividend at the rate of 8 per
cent. per annum, less income tax, be declared
on tha paid-up capital stock of the company ; that
one-half of the surplus profits over 6 per cent. per
annum, and the usual charge for interest, amounting
together to £3,768 7s. 11d., be carried to the re-
serve fund, in accordance with the provisions of
the royal charter of incorporation; and that £250
be applied to the redemption of preliminary expenses.
There will then remain the sum of £304 9s. Bd. to
the credit of the next half-year's accounts, During
the period embraced by the accounts the reserve
fund has been charged with the SUER of £7OB 14s.
for losses on realisation of securities in default, and
outlay on office premises. The amount standing
to the credit of this fund, after adding the £3,768
7s. 11d. above referred to, will be £54,802 9s.

Two o'CLocK.

At Paris this morning, according to Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Relates were 66f. 70c.
Rather firm.

The market for the English Funds opened heavily,
and a decline of I per cent. speedily occurred.
Consols were 911 1 for transfer, and 90k i for the
account. Since then there has been no variation of
importance. The New Threes are marked 891 ;
the Reduced, 89 I; March Exchequer Bills, 10s;
and the June do., 3s die. ; India 5 per Cents, 1051 -1-,;
Enfaced do., 1031 105; do., 54 per Cents., 1031.

There is very little animation in the Foreign
Market, and prices are depressed. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 701 711 ; do., Consotides, 471 48 ;
Mexican, 431 44 ; do., New Loan, 1 01 dis. ; Greek,
231 ; Spanish Passive, 34 9 ; and the Confederate
Loan, 63 64.

Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued very dull, and prices exhibit little change
of importance. Metropolitan have declined 1, Mid-
land *, Lancashire and Yorkshire and South East-
ern 4, while Bristol and Exeter have advanced 1,
and North Western 1.

The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit no mate-
rial alteration.
