ONE Y MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Discount Market to day is decidedly firmer,
and there is less money on offer, consequent upon
the recent absorption for a variety of purposes.
This state of affairs, however, is regarded as merely
temporary, and in a few days easier rates are ex-
pected. Advantage is taken of the opportunity pre-
sented by the settlement at the Stock Exchange,
• the usual disbursements at the end of the month
and other circumstances, to enforce full terms for
the negotiation of commercial bills, and the conse-
quence is that accommodation can be obtained from
the Bank of England at rates quite as fexourable as
those required in other quarters.

A second circular has been issued by the directors
of the Standard Bank of British South .Atricp,
referring to the proposition to be submitted at the
ensuing meeting for the issue of 5,000 additional
abares. They state that this new capital is required
for the purchase of private banking houses at the
Cape. Arrangements are already in progress to
secure the contemplated business, and it is thought
that the result will prove highly satisfactory to the
proprietary of the Standard Bank.

The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised a further influx of £3,000 in bar gold.
The amount of gold brought by the Edmund
Graham from Melbourne is £75,500.
During the last few days there has not been
much animation in the markets for foreign and
colonial produce. Tea has been dull at previous
rates, while limited transactions have been reported
in sugar, coffee, and cocoa, and in some instances at
rather reduced prices. Rice has been in good de-
mand, while a moderate business has been transacted
in saltpetre and tallow ; for the latter commodity
prices have been firmer, owing to the advices re-
ceived from Russia and America.
A call of £2 per share has been made by the
directors of the London and South American Bank.

Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. advise that they
have received on account of the Venezuela dividends
55 per cent, of the import duties from 16th to 30th
Mtiy ; from the port of Puerto Cabello, 8,683 71
dole. ; from La Guayra the amount due was
59,400.05 dole„ of which only a portion has been
received, in consequence of the troubles at that port.
Remittances have been received by Messrs. Bar-
ing and Co., for account of New Granada dividends,
to the extent of £3,117 93. 5d., viz.: £1,892 Bs. lid.
from Santa Marta, £6OO from San Jose de Cucuta,
£440 from Cartagena, and £175 Os. 6d. from
Sabanillo.
