XONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

. .
The Money Market continues steady with
abundant supplies, and a full average demand for
accommodation.

The bullion operation at the Bank yesterday com-
prised an influx of £4,000 in bar gold, and the
withdrawal of 20,000 sovereigns.
Daring the last few days there has been rather
more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. Sugars have again been dealt in to
Some extent, and prices have shown a recovery from
the late depression. In the refined market an ad-
vance of ls. per cwt. has been established, owing
to an increased demand for home consumption. Cof-
fee has been in moderate request at full rates, while
the operations in fruit and spices have been to an
average extent at late quotations. Fur tea there
has been a very limited inquiry, and the few
bargains reported have been at former prices. lit
the tallow market more activity has prevailed in
Consequence of an increased demand both for home
consumption and for exportation. Prices, however,
exhibit little change of importance.
Notice has been given to the shareholders of the
Racism's Bay Company that a dividend of bs. per
share, free of income tax, will be payable on the Ist
of January, in anticipation of the annual distribu-
tio❑ to be announced hereafter; the amount will be
deducted from the final instalment of a per share
due on the scrip at the same date.
The transfer-books of the Royal Sardinian Rail-
'Way will close from the 20th to the 31st inst., pre-
paratory to the issue of interest warrants for the
Past half-year. A report will also be furnished re
lative to the position and prospects of the company.

We are informed that M. W. Thompson, manager
of the Dublin branch of the Ulster Bank, has been
aPpoiated Chief Colonial Officer and Inspector of
the London and South African Bank, and will
shortly proceed to the Cape of Good Hope.
circular has been issued by the Mercantile
Union Assurance Company, in which the directors
Pledge themselves to the maintenance of the non-
tariff system upon which the undertaking was
started, despite the increased exertions made by the
tariff offices to prevent an extension of business at
ad valorem rates.

The directors of the Assam Company have an-
nounced a bonus of £4 per share out of the amount
received from the sale of the company's plantation
in Cachar. A fail explanation will be given at
the next general meeting why the board have
thought it desirable to retain a part of the purchase
money, in order to form a working capital for the
annually increasing business of the company.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning (according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram) the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67.20.
Heavy.
Only a limited amount of business has taken place
to-day in the market for the English Funds, specu-
lators being indisposed to operate in the present
unsettled position of Continental politics. Consols

In the Railway Share Market the operations have
again been principally connected with the settle-
ment, and prices have not varied to any important
extent. Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved
68. ; Metropolitan, IGs. ; and North-Eastern
(Berwick) 15s. ; while Great Western, Brighton,
Iliad South Western have each declined ss.
