DIONEY MARKET

AND

COMMZE.CILL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is still well supplied with
capital, and the commercial public find little diffi-
culty in discounting their bills at rates fractionally
below the official minimum. The inquiry for ac-
commodation to-day has been moderate, and many
are now indulging the hopeful feeling that lower
(Plotations will roon prevail. The charges for the
bast paper having a week or so to run are St r per
cent., but the larger number of transactions are
recorded at 9 per cent.
There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank yesterday.
I\ll.. John Piddington, of Gracechurch-street,
foreign patent agent, has failed with liabilities
estimated at £30,000; and Messrs. Duckworth and
Co., wine merchants, with debts and liabilities to a
considerable amount.

Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days has been rather
dull. SugAr has maintained former prices, while
tin has been at rather lower rates. In coffee an
average business has been reported at steady quota-
tions, while rice, fruit, and spices have remained
inactive at about former rates. Tallow has been in
better request at enhanced quotations for both pre-
sent and forward delivery. _ .

At a general meeting, held to-day, of the pro-
prietors of the Demerara Railway Company, Mr.
Rohn A. Tinno in the chair, the statement of
Recounts presented exhibited a balance on revenue
acount of £4,684 14s. 53., out of which the direc-
tors proposed a payment of £2,600 13.5. 6d., the
preference dividend on capital applicable to the old
line, and of £1,688 155., a dividend at the rate of
2i per cent." per annum on the original stock,
amounting together to £4,289 Bs. 63., leaving a
balance of £395 ss, 11d. to be carried forward to
the current half-year.

Business recently has been more active in the
English Stock Market than for some time past.

the Funds continue to make daily pro,
gross, and Consols for money have now reached

have been on a limited sc-tle ; prices, however,
exhibit a firmer tone. North 'Western, Metros
Politan, and South Eastern, have each improved
Ss. ; and Great Western, £1 ; while Caledonian

The Foreign and Colonial lines continue dull
