MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:

There is still a very good demand for monetary
accommodation, but a better feeling is produced by
the knowledge that the floating balances of bankers
and discount establishments are larger, and that
they are evincing more disposition to accept busi-
ness. No material alteration is, however, yet been
shown in the charge for assistance, as 7 to 71 per
cent. remains the lowest quotatiots for the best
deEcriptions of mercantile paper,
It is announced that the Union Bank of Australia,
as financial agents to the Government of Queens-
land, will receive tenders on August 12, at twelve
o'clock, for £50,000 in debentures issued under the
Colonial L?gislative Act.
The dividend of the British and Irish Magnetic
Telegraph Company for the past half-year will be
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the ordinary
stock of the company.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the psst week state that business generally has
continued seasonably active. At Manchester both
cloths and yarns have fully maintained previous
rates, while the demand for winter fabrics at Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield has been on the In-
crease. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester
and Nottingham have remained rather dull, as
usual at this season of the year, white a more
cheerful tone has prevailed in the hardware dis-
tricts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-
hampton.

We understar d that the applications for the
shares of the Clergy and Hotel Company have been
so satisfactory that it is the intention of the directors
to close the list of applications early in August.
