1/10NEY MARKET

AND
COMIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The transactions in the general discount market,
this morning, have failed to produce any new fea-
ture. Tile general charge for first class bills still
continues at 51 per cent., with occasional operations
at 54 per cent.
About 128,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from
the Bank yesterday for shipment to the East.
The amount of specie to be conveyed by the
belte, which leaves to-day for Bombay is £624,120,
of Which £250,000 is in gold for Alexandria.
The return published yesterday evening by the
Bank of England authorities is generally regarded
as presenting some very favourable features. The
bullion has net been so largely decreased as ex-
pected, while the reserve of notes has been increased,
and a falling off is shown in the amount of other
securities. Annexed are the particulars:—

Arrangements have been concluded by which the
old established firm of Messrs. H. and J. Johnston
an'a Co. have amalgamated their banking and
4'4eney business with the Merchant Banking Corn-
Pane of London ; and also that Messrs. C. Butler,
Felix Pryor, and G. Magaw, partners of the
firm, have joined the board of the company. The
bank will commence business on the Ist proximo in
Cannon-street.
The progress of business in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Market during the last few days
has been animated, particularly as regards sugar, in
Which large speculative dealings have been entered
into at fully previous rates. Coffee has been in
nioderate request, while there has been a more
active inquiry for rice and cocoa. At the public
sales of tea, Assam qualities have realised an
advance of id to lid per lb., while China descrip-
tions remain without change. Fruit, at public sale
--viz., currants, raisins, and figs—have been at
rather lower rates, while in the tallow market
considerable depression has prevailed, quotations
for both present and forward delivery showing a
downward tendency.
The shareholders of the lonian Bank held an
extraordinary general meeting to day for the pur-
pose of electing two directors. Mr. 011iver Ferrar
occupied the chair, and in proposing that the names
Of Mr. Alexander Pendia Petrocochino and Mr.
Richard Ferrer be added to the list of directors,
took the opportunity of stating that the question
for extending the business of the bank
in the neighbouring country of Greece bad
been deliberated upon, but no final reso-
lution had, however, as yet been made. Before
determining upon that subject the directors would
seek the advice and approbation of their pro-
prietary. One of. the gentlemen proposed as a
director was largely connected with the commerce
both of this country and Greece, and it was believed
that he would be able to afford the executive great
assistance in arriving at a satisfactory conclusion.
The business of the bank within the past year or so
bad considerably increased, and it was found neces-
sary to strengthen the board in order to secure an
adequate attendance of gentlemen efficiently to
conduct its affairs.

At a general meeting of the shareholders of the
Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada, the
Right Hon. E. P. Bouverie, M.P., in the chair, the
dividend as proposed by the directors, namely, at
the rate of 81, per cent. per annum, less income tax,
Was declared payable, and the report unanimously
adopted. It was stated that the net profits for the
Past six mouths amounted to £14,804, that the
business of the company continued prosperous, and
the wealth of the Canadian provinces showed in-
disputable signs of increase.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Routes were
66f. 95c. to 671.—Du11.

The transactions is the English Stock Market
to-day have been very limited. Speculation, as
usual of late, being very dull, the fluctuation has
been unimportant, and there is consequently no
material feature to comment upon. Consols for
transfer are 92* th and for the account, less the
dividend, 91* 4. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities are 90,1 ; India 5 per Cents., 1084 109 ;

chequer Bills, Os. 2s. disc

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather dull, the arrangements for the half monthly
settlement having occupied the chief attention of the
dealers and shareholders. Great Northern A stock
has advanced £l, and the North Western and Mid-
land, 10s.; while Great Eastern have declined 55.,
and Metropolitan, IL

In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there has
been no change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in fair
request and generally sustain former rates.
