CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

__-
An easier feeling now prevails in monetary
circles. Most of the payments due at this period
of the quarter and month have been liquidated, and
there being less inquiry for accommodation, brokers
seem disposed to transact basilicas at lower quota-
tions. Moreover, as the demand decreases the float-
ing balauces have been augmented, and competition
has been cons,quently excii ed• Traders are, there-
fore, now enabled to negotiate their approved bilis
at bi per cent.

A lumber sum of £35,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank on S iturd4y.
Tne Bdroda, which left this morning for the East,
conveyed £27,099.

The accounts from the various manufacturing dis-
tricts for the past week state that business has, in
most instances, sLown an improvement. At Marie
cheater there has been a better desuand for both
cloths and yarns, and higher rates have been ob-
tained. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford,
and Huddersfield. The inquiry for most descrip-
tion of cioths have been above the average of
former seasons, white increased activity has pre-
vailed in the hosiery and lace departments of Lei-
cester and Nottingham. At Birmingham, Sbeffield,
and Wolverhampton there has been little change of
importance as regards prices.
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the share-
holders of the London and Brazilian Bank, the
report, vet, ich was adopted, stated that the accounts
showed a net profit for the second half-year of
£15,531 4a. 81, after making due allowance for all
bad and doubtful debts. Out of this sum it was
proposed to pay a dividend, free of Income Tax, of
ls. par share, amounting to £13.650 (being 6
per cent. on the capital paid-up on 31st December,
1863), and to carry forward the balance of £l,BBl
48. Bd. to the credit of the next account. The
branches now established are Rio de Janeiro, Per-
nambuco, and Rio Or thde do Sul in Brazil, and
Lisbon and Oporto in Portugal. That at Bahia will
commence business on lst July, and there is every
reason to believe that the combined operations of
these establishments will secure most satisfactory
results.
