CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is an active demand for discount acorn•
modation in the open market and at the Bank of
England, and full rates are everywhere required.
Business is expected to continue on an extensive
scale until after the 4th of the month.
During the last few days there has not been
much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. The unfavourable and foggy weather
has prevented the inspection of samples of most of
the principal staples. Sugar, however, is held for
full rates, while fine qualities of colonial coffee are
in demand, in consequence of the small quantity on
offer. Rice has been at steady rates, while a more
cheerful tone has prevailed in the tallow market,
quotations generally exhibiting an upward ten-

Share'

dency.
The directors of the Auction Mart attended yes-
terday to receive and open the tenders of the pro-
perty, the highest amount being £115,255 10s. 6d.,
which was accepted.
At the first general meeting to-day of the share-
holders of the International Financial Society the
report presented by the directors was unanimously
adopted, and a dividend equal to 25 per cent. per
annum declared, The accounts embrace the opera-
tions of the society to the end of December last, and
the profit realised, after deducting all expenses
amounted to £199,950 18s. lid. This sum was
applied as follows :-Ist, £19,931 108. id. to pay-
ment of interest at 5 per cent. per annum on the
called-up capital, in conformity with clause N 0.154
of the articles of the association ; 2d, L 77,568 9s. 11d.
to bonus, to make, together with the above interest,
a dividend of 13s. per share, free of income tax;
equal in all to 25 per cent. per annum ; 3d, LlB,O
19s. sd. to reserve fund, in conformity with clause
No. 25 of said articles. This, after deducting the
necessary amounts for directors' commission, and
income tax on the dividend, will leave a balance of
£76,680 19s. sd. to be carried forward to new ac-
count, which balance, together with the amount oa
f
£lB,OOO 19s. sd. placed to reserve fund, leaves
total of £94,681 18s. 10d. undivided.
The Queensland Sheep Investment Company has
been introduced under the auspices of the Mercan-
tile Credit Association. The capital is £400,000 in
10,000 shares of £4O each. The directors are highly
respectable, and the undertaking is formed with the
object of enabling English capitalists to avail them-
selves of the eligible opportunities which arc offered
for investment in the colony of Queensland by sheep
farming operations. Arrangements have been made
for the purchase of stations on the Darling Downs,
sl;
now in full operation, comprising an area of up-
wards
of 1,500 square miles, with the sheep and
cattle thereon ; the vendors taking payment for a
considerable portion of the purchase in the shares ,
of the company. Business, which can at once be I
commenced, is calculated to pay an early and satis-
factory dividend, irrespective of the accumulated
8,
profit to be derived from the increase of the breed- .1
ing flocks, which, in ordinary seasons, may
be esti-
mated at 80 per cent.

Two O'CLOCK.
At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Recites were 66f.
25c. to 66f. 20c. Very fiat.
A further decline of per cent. has taken place
in the market for Consols, which are now quoted 81
90k 91 for money, and 911 for the account. This .1
progressive depreciation is attributable to specula-
tive sales, consequent upon the unfavourable feeling
relative to the Danish war, an the complications
Threes
to which it may yet give rise.d The New
and Reduced Annuities are 901 91 ; Exchequer
Bills, ss. to ls. dis. ; and Bank Stock is firm at 8\
237 2381-. India Stock is 217 218 ; ditto 5 per et,
Cents. are steady at 104; I; and Enfaeed 5 per
Cents. at 10& 106.
A general downward movement has taken place
in the value of the principal speculations. Foreign
Securities are on sale on Continental account, and
business is not very active. Turkish 6 per Cents.,
1862, are 69 ; do. Consolides, 501 ; Mexican, 421 ;
Greek, 22k a ; Spanish Passive, 351 d ; do. Cer-
tificates, 131 14 ; Portuguese, 471 481 ; Italian,
664 a ; and the Confederate Loan, 42 44 ex. div.
and drawing.
The operations in the Railway Share Market
have been very limited,and prices in some instances
have been a shade flatter. Bristol and Exeter and
Metropolitan have receded 55., and Great Midland
rthern
A stock, Brighton, North-Western and

10s.
The Foreign and colonial lines show little change
of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous shares continue in fair
request, and generally support former rates. Im-
perial Financial shares are quoted 41 5 prem. ;
Mauritius Credit A A prem. ; National Shipping
par tot prem., and Australian Shipping 81 9} prem.
