COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The South-Esstern Banking Company have an-
nounced that they have opened branches at Broad-
stairs, Christchurch, and Bournemouth. Mr. Hunt,
formerly in the house of Messrs. Barclay, Bevan,
and Co., has been appointed manager of the two
latter establishments.

The Scottish and Universal Finance Bank have
purchased the business, with the goodwill of the
firm of Haggard and Co., the extensive bullion and
exchange dealers of the City. The whole of the
purchase-money has been accepted in scrip certi-
ficates. Mr. H. Haggard has also accepted the
management office in the exchange department of
the company's business, and another member of
this firm has joined the board of directors. 9,000
out of the 10,000 shares forming the first issue of
the company have been subscribed for.

Two o'CLocic.

O wing to the unproved feeling with regard to
monetary and political prospects, the market for
the English Funds has shown slight indications of
improvement. Consols are about k better, being
9li I for money, and 90i, less the dividend, for the
account. The New Threes are 89;; the Reduced,
89g. I; Exchequer Bills, June, 9s, to 4s. die.; and
India per Cents., Mi.

Foreign Securities are not very active, but prices
are firm. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 70i 714 ;
do. Consolide3, 489 d ; Mexican, 44i ; do. New,
dis. par.:; Greek, 239 ; Spanish Passive, 3416 ;
Portuguese, 48 ; the Confederate Loan, 64 66 ;
Swedish Scrip, 114 prem, ; and Russian do., 2
prem.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings
have been very limited, but in one or two instances
a slight improvement has taken place in prices.
Lancashire and Yorkshire, London and Blackwell,
and South Eastern have each improved 55.; and
Great Northern A Stock, 10s.; while South
Western have receded 55., and North Western 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive,
and exhibit no change of importance as regards
values.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in moderate
request, and generally sustain former prices.
The following are the current quotations of some
of the principal new undertakings : North Aus-
tralian Company, il,-- li prem. ; Sabloniere Hotel,
* 11 prem. ; International Land Credit, 2 21- prem. ;
and Provncial Banking Corporation, 1 i prem.

The general discount market presents an easier
appearance, the private and joint-stock establish-
ments being more willing to negotiate short bills at
81 i per cent. There is a large supply of money
on offer, but holders of bills are awaiting further
concessions.

About £83,000 in gold was taken into the Bank

The banking-house of Messrs. Day, Nicholson,
and Stone, of Rochester, has been amalgamated
with that of the Provincial Banking Corporation.
The firm was established in 1782, and has been
noted for its respectable position.
