AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In monetary affairs to-day no material alteration
is noticeable. The demand for accommodation con-
tinues moderate, and it has been supplied at about
previous rates, namely, 651 4 per cent. for the best
commercial short-dated paper. The dividends on
Consols, &c., are now in course of payment, and
their effect has been to increase the available
balances of the joint-stock and private firms, who
are competing for the business brought forward ;
but the future seems to be regarded with doubt, as
the belief is very prevalent that shipments of gold
Upon a large scale will be made to the Brazils.

A further sum of £14,000 in gold was withdrawn
from the Bank on Saturday.
Trade in the manufacturing districts during the
past week has been resumed after the holidays with
good promise. The woollen and cloth manufac-
turers of Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, and Hudders-
field have transacted a moderate business. At
Manchester, however, purchasers have evinced
great reserve, owing to the late rise in cotton. The
demand for hardware goods at Sheffield, Wolver•
hampton, and Birmingham continued brisk at good
quotations.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in
the Bank of New Zealand was held at Auckland
on the 30th of October last. The report of the
directors was in every way satisfactory. The net
profit for the half-year ending 30th September last
amounted to £39,523 14s. 5d., to which was added
the
sum of £1,668 19s. ld. balance of undivided
profits from the previous half-year, making a total
for division of £41,192 13s. 6d. Of this sum £27,000
Wee carried to the reserve, which in a little over 18
Months has reached £60,000. The fourth dividend,
at the rate of 10 per cent., absorbed £12,468 leaving
£1,724 to be carried to the next account. The
'working of the bank has been extremely successful,
the net profits on the paid-up capital being over 30
per cent.

The half-yearly meeting of the Bank of New
South Wales was held at Sydney on the 28th of
October last. The report was, as usual, unanimously
adopted, and a dividend and bonus equalling 20 per
cent. per annum declared. The net profits amounted
to £73,263 6s. 6d., from bad debts had been re-
covered £3,410 4s. Bd., which, with £3,128 6s. Id.
of previous undivided profit, made a total of £79,801
17a. 3d. for distribution. After paying of dividend
and bootie, £4,801 17s. 3d. was carried over to the
present half-year.
The London and Brazilian Bank held its half-
Yearly meeting to-day—Mr. Cater in the chair.
The report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend
as recommended by the directors—viz., 17s, 6d.
per share, free of income tax, and payable after the
_2oth inst.—was declared. The net profits to June
last, atter defraying all expenses, preliminary, &c.,
amounted to £13,556.
The half-yearly meeting to-day was also held of
the Union Bank of Australia. The directors'
report was carried, and a dividend of 8 per cent.
for the six months ordered to be paid upon the
40,000 shares forming the capital of £1,000,000.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally, are
inactive, and exhibit little variation in values.
