XONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The condition of the Money Market remains
firm. The rates charged for the negotiation of first-
class paper continues at 61 and 51 per cent, but the
Inquiry for accommodation has only been moderate.
The bills held over till yesterday in expsctation of
a reduction in the official minimum, and the fort-
nightly settlement in foreign stocks, railway and
other shares, have no doubt influenced the brokers
to keep up their quotations for a day or two longer.
There was a withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns
from the Bank yesterday for transmission to
Alexandria.
The shares of the Robertsfors Iron Works Com-
Pany (l►mited) were in demand ear►y to' day at
closing at 11 prera. We understand that the capital
stock of the company is being rapidly applied for.
It will be seen from another column that important
and influential additions have been made in the
board of direction.

The Bank of England return for the past week I
contains several important alterations, but they are
not unfavourable when the present influences now
at Work are considered. Toe Government deposits
have been lessened and the private balances in-
creased through the distri'oution of the dividends.
The repayment of advances has:also diminished the
stock of other securities; the bullion and reserve
of notes also show decrease. Subjoined are the
particulars :

The return issued by the Bank of.
France is of an
unfavourable character. The cash has undergone
a diminution of £386,650, the advances of £BO,OOO,
and the current accounts of £712,000. The dis-
counts, however, show an augmentation of £200,000,
the notes in circulation of £820,000, and the Tree.
sury balances of £20,000.
The directors of the Mercantile Credit Associa-
tion, as liquidators of the assets of the company
before the amalgamation with the Imperia:, have
just declared a dividend of 35a. a share, or equal to
87i per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of £216 13a 4d on account of the dividends
en the debt of Ecuador.
During the last few days there has been rather
less animation in the markets for Foreign and
Colonial Produce, Tea has remained dull, while
sugars have declined about 6d. per cwt. Superior
descriptions of coffee have met a fair demand at
Steady prices, but in rice, fruit, spices, saltpetre, and
tallow, the operations have been on a very modes
rate scale, without any material change as regards
'values.
The Flintshire Oil and Cannel Company is a
new- undertaking, introduced for the purpose of
purchasing the works and property of the Mineral
Oil Company, at Saltney (near Chaster), and Lees-
Wood, in Fiintshire, and also of the Tryddyn Oil
and Coke Company. The yield of etude mineral
oil containing paraffin is said to be very large, and
the new company, besides raising it, proposes to
distil and refine it, thus uniting three different ope-
rations under one management. The capital re-
quired is £500,000 in shares of £5O each, 6,000 of
Which are to form the first issue.
The directors of the London Financial Associa-
tion have issued their second half-yearly report,

THE MURDER ON THE NORTH LONDON
RAILWAY,

The greatest mystery still surrounds this horrid
deed, notwithstanding the utmost exertions of the
police. Yesterday, in consequence of certain infor-
mation, Inspector Tanner proceeded to the east-end
of the town with the hat found in the railway
carriage in the hope that it could be identified, but
such, unfortunately, turned out not to be the case.
The opinion that the person who changed the
chain at the jeweller's shop in Cheapside was
a foreigner is now disbelieved. Nothing
would be easier than to assume such an account,
and thereby lead from the scent. The statement
that the hat is that of a foreigner is ridiculous, as it
is one of the commonest and cheapest description of
London manufacture, and is quite of the conven-
tional English shape.
