COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

CITY, TWELVE 0 CLOCK.
There is no particular alteration in the general
B!ate of the money market, and the Bank authori-
ties, es anticipated, have not found it necessary at
their ordinary weekly court to modify their dis-
Couat re,gnlations. There is again, however, a
better feeling, and the mercantile classes experience
no difficulty whatever in getting xll the accommo-
dation they require at the current rates, and on the
Stook Exchange available supplies are super-
abccdant, and the terms for advances on Govern-
Meta securities are very moderate.
The respective share lists of the Continental
Union Gas Company and the Brighton Brewery
Company will close on Saturday next.
The last week's rai'way receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are, in round figures, as under:—

Annexed is an extract from the report of the
Oriental Bank Corporation, adopted at the meeting
today :-The directors, in presenting the general
statement of affairs for 1863, have again to con-
gratulate their co-proprietors on the prosperous
condition of the corporation. The accounts show a
net profit of £248,919 Os. 3d. available for division,
after providing for all bad and doubtful debts and
defraying current expenses. A dividend of
per cent. has already been paid, absorb-
ing £88,200 of the profits, and leaving
£360,719 Os. 3d. to be dealt with. Out of this
"in it is now proposed to pay an additional divi-
dend of 5 per cent., and a bonus of 7 per cent.,
making with the dividend already paid, an aggre-
gate distribution for 1863 of 19 per cent. on the
capital. The present dividend and bonus, equal to
£3 per share, will be payable here on the 2d
~,rn`zinio, free of income-tax, and will amount to
"161,200, and leave a balance of £9,519 3d., to be
carried to the credit of the next account.
