COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TwELvK O'CLOCK.
In the General Discount Market there is rather
more easiness, the ordinary rate for first-class three
months' bills being 31 per cent., but there is never-
theless a good commercial demand.

During the last few days there has been very
little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugar has remained at about previous
rates, while coffee has shown A. slight downward
movement in prices. Operations in tea have been
suspended until the public sales which commence
today. Rice, French spices, and saltpetre have
recovered without any material change in values,
while tallow has been dull at barely previous quo
tations for both present and forward delivery.

The half-yearly meeting of the City Bank took
place to-day—Mr. Peter Bell in the chair. The
report, which was unanimously adopted, recom-
mended the usual dividend of £6 per cent. per
annum upon the paid-up capital, and a bonus of Ll
per share, both free of income tax, together equal
to £lO per cent. for the year.
Mr. John Bathgate, agent for the Union Bank of
Scotland, in Peebles, has been appointed the Colonial
Manager of the Bank of Otago (limited), and Mr.
Alexander Grace, for some years one of the Branch.
Managers of the South Australian Banking Com-
pany, has been appointed the Secret:ry in London.
Mr. Henry E. Glennie, the Accountant for Dunedin
office, has left for Otago to make arrangements for
commencing on the arrival of the manager.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 80c. Great uneasiness.

At the half-yearly meeting to day of the St. Ka•
tharine Docks Company, Mr. .f. W. Cater in the
chair, the report, which recommended a dividend of
11 per cent. free of income tax, was unanimously
adopted.

The annual meeting of the Australian Agricultu
ral Campany has also been held to day, when a divi-
dend at the rate of ss. per share was recommended.
The apprehension felt regarding foreign politics
has led to further sales in the English Stock 'llarket,
and an additional decline, Consols being 921 a for
money and account, There is very little business
in progress, but the tone is exceedingly unfavour-
able. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities
are 921 4 ; Exchequer Bills are par to 3s. prem. ;
India Stock is 227 ; India 5 per Cents, are 1074
1084 ; the Debentures, 100-D and the Bonds, 1004.
A further decided decline has taken place in the
Foreign Stock Market to-day. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, have receded to 674 2 ; do. Conso-
lides, to 494 504 ; Mexican, to 364 4 ; Spanish
Passive, to 311 324 ; do. Certificates, to 124
Greek, to 334 ; do. Coupons, to 154 ;
; Egyptian,
to 1031 104 ; Italian, to 704 ; do. New Scrip, to
1 prem. ; Peruvian, to 864 87 ; and the Confederate
Loan to 4 and 34 dis.

A heavy tone bas prevailed in the Railway Sbare
Market, several of the principal lines having given
way about to Q per cent. Metropolitan, Midland,
and South Eastern have receded se, ; North Wes
tern, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. ; and
Caledonian, £l.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain
heavy, at about previous quotations.
Bank Stock and Miscellaneous Shares generally
are a shade flatter. London and Westminster have
declined to 764; Imperial Ottoman Bank, to 181 e ;
Rio de Janeiro Improvement, to 261 ; International
Financial Shares are quoted 4} to 41 prem. ; Gene-
ral Credit, to 1 prem. ; London Financial, to 1,
prem.; Egyptian Trading Company, I to 1 prem. ;
and Hudson's Bay, Ito die.
