MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMUCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:

The quotations in the general discount market
continues firm, and the inquiry for accommodation
shows a slight degree of activity. The number of
applicants for monetary aid have been more numer.
ens during the end of the week just concluded, and
as this morning the abatement has been very trifling
the brokers have evinced but little disposition to
relax their terms : 5i per cent. remains the charge
for first class bills, although some few transactions
have been report2d at 51 per cent.
The report has been issued by the directors of the
Imperial Bank for presentation to the fourth half-
yearly meeting on the 21st inst. The directors have
to announce, that in consequence of the extension
of business, and with a view to advance the influ•
ence of the bank, they deemed it advisable to in•
crease the subscribed capital, and give additional
strength to the direction. They, therefore, in
exercise of the authority vested in the board
by the 18th and 21st regulations, issued
12,500 shares of the original capital—in addi.
tion to the first issue of 10,000 shares—thereby
raising the subscribed capital from £1,000,000
to £2,250,000. The premiums on the shares
recently issued have placed at disposal the sum of
£48,288, which the directors recommend to be
carried to the reserve fund; and, they are happy to
state, that the increased capital has placed the bank
in a position to meet the requirements of extending
connections. The directors have to report that,
after payment of the current charges, making allow.
ante for bad and doubtful debts, and rebate on bills,
writing off £2,110 6s. 3d. (the profit on sale of
fractional parts of new shares) against preliminary
expenses, the profit and loss account exhibits a
balance of £63,437 12s. ld., including £48,288,
the premium received on new shares, and they
recommend the appropriation to be as follows :
To dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum,
free of income tar, for the six months ending 30th
June, 1864, on paid up capital of 12,000 shares Ist
issue, £9,600 ; to payment at rate of £5 per cent.
per annum on paid up capital of 10,500 shares of the
2d and 3d issues in lien of dividend, £849 5s 3d ; to
reserve fund, premium on new shares, £48,288 ; to
balance to be carried forward to credit of profit and
loss new account, £4,700 6s 10d—total, £63,437
12s ld. The following gentlemen have joined the
direction, viz. :—H. L. Bischoffiheim, Esq., A. P.
Petrocochino, Eeq., A. A. Ralli, Esq., D. Stern,
Esq., and their appointment will have to be con-
firmed by the shareholders.
