AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

The Union Bank of Ireland held its third ordia
nary meeting of shareholders to-day. The report,
which was adopted, recommended a dividend of
10s. per share, free of income tax (being, rather
more than 41 per cent, per annum).
The shares of the Robertsfors Iron Works
Company were in demand at 1 prem., and closed at
1.1, prem.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 661. 15c.
The English Stock Market has shown symptoms
of further depression this morning. The Funds
have declined another I per cent., which, with the
/ that occurred yesterday, gives a fall of 3 per cent.
Within two days. The cause now operating ad•
versely against the firmness of quotations is the
Idea that money will become dearer through the
unfavourable specie movement to the Continent.
Consols for money are 90} ; and for the account,
9D ; the New Threes and Reduced Annuities are
891 ; and India 5 per Cents., 1041 ; India Stock
is 215.

Foreign Stocks have not varied to any material
extent, bat prices tend downwards. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 704: do. Consolides 501 ;
Mexican, 282 294 ; do. New, 261 1; Greek 24i i;
Spanish Passive, 281 2 ; Portuguese, 484 1 ; Italian,
67Z- ; and the Confederate Loan, 76 77.
A flatter tone has prevailed in the Railway Share
Market, and prices have in several instances given
WIY• Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
Great Eastern, and North Western have declined
5"; Brighton, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,
and Midland, 10s. ; South Eastern, 152. ; and Nuri,h
Eastern (Berwick), la.
In the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been
little or no chauge of importance.

stances rather flatter. London and Westminster
have declined to 1001 ; Metropolitan, to 271 a ;

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Business continues very active in the general
discount market, and as 6 per cent. is the lowest
rate the inquiries at the Bank have increased.
Several unfavourable alterations are exhibited in
the Bank of England return. There is a falling off
in the reserves of notes and bullion consequent
upon a demand for both from the egricultural dis•
tricts, a brisk commercial inquiry, and large ex.. ports of gold. The repayment of loans has caused
a considerable reduction in the other securities.
