MONEY MARKET

AND

COMArgIiCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The commercial public are now regarding the
general condition of affairs with less apprehension
than formerly, and everything seems to be tending
in a satisfactory direction. In the discount market
the quotations have not undergone any alteration,
although the enquiry for accommodation is less
active than it was a few days ago. The rate for
the best bills of three months date still 9 per
cent.

The following communication was posted in the
Stock Exchange yesterday :—Messrs. Baring Bro-
thers and Co. have received sufficient funds from the
proceeds of the Columbian Loan contracted in this
country, to pay the dividends due Ist June next o❑
the New Grenada Active and Deferred Bonds. The
remittances received latterly have been small
arising no doubt from the portion of the Customs;
duties assigned to the bondholders having been
retained as a provision for the June dividend made
as above indicated.

At the annual meeting today of the shareholders
of the London and South African Bank, the report
presented for adoption stated that after providing for
bad and doubtful debts, the accounts show a surplus
of £39,548 is 4d ; out of which a payment on
account of dividend (amounting to £16,000), was
made in October last, for the half.year ending 30th
June, leaving an unappropriated balance of £23,548
is 4d. The directors now proposed to declare a
dividend for the half-year ending 31st December
last, on the original capital, and on so much of the
new capital as was paid up in full at Ist July last,
at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, free of income
tax. They further proposed to place to the credit
of preliminary expense account £1,608 6s, and of
the reserve fund £2,500, and to carry forward the
balance, £539 15s 4d, to the next account.

During the last few days there has been very
littici animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. Sugars have been without material
change as regards prices, while the public sales of
tea have proceeded with very little animation. In
coffee, rice, fruit, and spices, the dealings have been
to an average extent, at about former rates ; while
tallow has been in better request, chiefly on specu-
lative account, and quotations for both present and
forward delivery have tended upwards.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 800.
Firm.

The improvement in the Stock Exchange mar-
kets has made further progress today, The
reported suspension of hostilities between the Danes
and Germans, and the brighter aspect of monetary
affairs, have stimulated purchases, and a farther
general advance has taken place. The English
Funds are 3-16ths better, and Consols are quoted
91$ $ for money, and 90$ I, less the dividend, for
the account. The New Threes and Reduced An-
nuities are 881 881.; Exchequer Bills for MaLeh,
20s. to 12s. dis. ; and for June, 9s, to 4s. die.; India
5 per Cents, are 1041 1(.15 ; Enfaced 51 per Cents.,
1114 2 ; and the Bonds, 15s, to 255. die.
In the Foreign Market, there is more animation
and buoyancy, Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are
711; ditto Consolide3, 50f $ ; Mexican, 441 1;

been to an average extent, and prices have shown
an upward tendency. Great Western have improved
58., Great Northern, North Western, and South
Eastern 10s., Lancashire and Yorkshire, 155.; Lon-
don and Brighton, and Midland, £1; and Great
Northern A Stock and Metropolitan, £1 10s.

of importance.

stances at slightly enhanced prices.
