AND
commzuclAL INTELLIGENCE,

There was a slight downward tendency in the
fireign exchanges yesterday afternoon.
_ _

The shares of the Tavistock Iron and Coal Com-
pany wore in demand this day at 1 to 2 prem.
The list of application is closed.

The directors of the Natal Land and Colonisation
Company have just issued their report to be pre-
sented at the forthcoming meeting. It states that,
" After writing off 10 per cent. of the preliminary
expenses, the accounts show a net profit to the 31st
December of £13,466 Bs. 7d., of which sum
£3,473 Bs. 9d. have been already distributed among
he shareholders, leaving a balance of £9,992
19s. 10d. still to be dealt with. The directors
therefore propose, on the present occasion, to pay a
dividend at the rate of 6s. per share, free of income
tax,fwhich will absorb a further sum of £6,918155.,
making, with the previous dividend of 35., a total
distribution for the year of 9s. per share, or 9 per
upon the £5 paid shares, and leaving a surplus to
be carried forward to the next account of £3,074 4s.
10d. In addition to the proposed dividend, the fund
arising from the payment of 20e. per share on the
14,000 paid up shares to be converted into ordinary
shares, as explained in the circular issued last
February, will be distributed as a bonus at the rate
of 14s. on each paid up share, and 7a. on each share
on which £5 have been paid.
The Freehold and General Investment Company,
with a capital of £250,000, the first issue to consist
of half the amount in shares of £25 each, has been
brought forward for the purpose of purchasing
freehold and leasehold property in London and its
neighbourhood. Negotiations are now in progress
for the acquisition of freehold properties at the
West End, and the vendors have agreed to take a
portion of their money in shares of the company.

At Paris this morning, according to Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Ren tee were 66f. 750.

The English Stock Market has been adversely
influenced to-day through political rumours relative
to the Conference, and Consols have declined k per
cent., the quotations being 9111 for money, and
901 I less the dividend, for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 s ;
Annuities, 1885, 14 9-sixteenths ; Exchequer Bills,
March, 10s. die.; India 5 per Cents., 1058 'I;
Enfaced 4 per Cents., 932; and the Bonds 25 dis.
Bank Stock is 237, and India Stock 217.
Rather less firmness is apparent in the Foreign
Market, and business is quiet. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 711 ; do., Consolides 48/ 49 ;
Mexican, 441. 8 ; do. Now Loan, -1 die. par.; Greek,
237,- 1; Spanish Passive, 341 a ; Portuguese, 48/
Italian, 67168 ; Russian Loan,2l / prem. ; Swedish'.
do., 21 I prem. ; and the Confederate Loan, 65 67.
The operations in the Railway Share Market
have been exceedingly restricted, and the only
change of importance has been an advance of £2
on London and Brighton ; Metropolian have im-
proved ss. ; and Great Western have declined ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance as regards values.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have, in some
instances, been a shado flitter. Alliance have
receded to 62k ; Bank of London to 581 ; London
and Colonial have improved to 161 17 ; and London
Financial to 281 d.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
No alteration is noticeable in the appearance of
the discount market. The inquiry for accommoda-
tion is small, and the rate for first-class three
months' paper continues at 82 per cent. Most
parties are holding over their bills in anticipation of
a reduction being made in the Bank rate to-morrow.
About 1;88,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.
