ONEY MARKET

AND

COMEORCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
An increased demand for monetary accommoda-
tion is perceptible to-day in the general discount
market, and the rates are consequently a little
firmer, viz., 5; and 6 per cent. The available
balances are, however, abundant, and as the addi-
tional inquiries at the present time are only re-
garded as temporary, the public still look forward
with confidence for a reduction in the official quo-
tation on Thursday next.
A further sum of £24,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
The Stock Exchange Committee have decided
not to grant a settlement in the shares of the Aus-
tralian and Eastern Navigation Company.
During the last few days there has not been much
animation exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial
Produce Markets. Tea, however, has been in fair
request at full rates. Sugars have remained at
steady prices, while the operations in rice, coffee,
cocoa, and fruit have been to an average extent at
about previous rates. In the tallow market there
has been no material change, the dealings for
both present and forward delivery having been
somewhat curtailed.

The twenty-third annual meeting of the share-
holders of the North British Australasian Company
Was held to-day—Mr. Eastace Anderson in the
chair. The revenue account showed a net profit of
receipts ever expenditure of .C 11,281, and from this
divisible balance the directors proposed a dividend
at the rate of 5 per cent. free of income tax.
A special meeting of the shareholders of the
National Company for Boatbuilding by Machinery
was held to-day for the purpose of considering a
proposition for winding up the affairs of the under-
taking, and for transferring the business, plant,
&c., &c., to another eumdany to be hereafter
formed, entitled the London Boat and Barge
Builaing Company. The consideration for the
exchange of the property, &e., to consist of the
payment of £17,600, beirg one-fifth of the whole
paid-up capital in shares of the new company. Col.
Sykes, M.P, occupied the chair, and informed the
meeting that the directors were compeded to take
the step proposed in consequence of their inability
to continue operations without a larger eapital, and
of the non-compliance of the shareholders to in-
crease the amount by the issue of debentures.
The Sabloniere Foreign Hotel Company has
been brought forward for the purpose of
Purchasing the site upon which the cele-
brated establishment in Leicester-square, which
supplies the title to the undertaking, now stands;
and also the lease, business, stook, goodwill, and
freehold of property a, joining, and to rebuild an
hotel on the improved models adupted on the con-
tinent. In the cuisine department especially the
tastes and wants of foreigners will be consulted.
The position of the establishment is well situa ad,
being but a short distance from the Charing cross
Railway Station. The services of the late pro
prietor have been retained as manager. Part of
the purchase-money is to be paid in shares, and
Interest upon the amount paid up at 5 per cent. per
annum will be allowed to shareholders until the
completion of the new hotel. The capital required
isK,lOO,OOO in shares of £2O each.
