COMIEZTICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
As the day for the payment of the dividends
approaches the hope becomes stronger that by the
liberation of a large amount of capital the general
discount market will rule easier. At present, how-
ever, the inquiry for monetary accommodation is
!till large, and very little alteration is perceptible
in the rates charged upon first-class bills, viz., 51
and 6 per cent.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was no alteration of importance.
The English and Foreign Credit Company has
been announced, with a capital of £2,000,000, half
of which is to comprise the first issue, in shares
of £5O each. The objects are similar to those of
other financial undertakings, viz., the granting of
loans and obtaining concessions for railways and
other
public works, making advances upon securi-
ties, &C. The directors state that they have already
secured a large business, which will yield a good
return upon the capital it is proposed to employ.
The share list of the Clyde Engineering and Iron
Shipbuilding Company will close on Friday next
for London, and on Monday for the country.

A special general meeting of shareholders of the
National Company for Boat-building by Machinery,
Vas held to-day for the purpose of confirming the
resolutions adopted at the previous meeting for
transferring by sale the company and its liabilities
to the London Boat and Barge-building Company.
Col. Sykes, M.P., in the chair. Gen. Shortrede
oPposed the passing of the resolution, and said
that the shareholders had informed him of their
readiness to subscribe towards raising the necessary
amount of capital. He said that he believed that
if the company were properly managed its opera-
tions would prove successful. The motion for con-
firming .the resolutions was negatived, all the direc-
tors and chairman having voted in its favour.
