firONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There appears to be a disposition on the part of
some of the discounters to offer the mercantile com-
lounity greater facilities, the available supplies of
Itoney being largely in excess of the ordinary re-
quirements of trade. No actual change has yet
taken place in the rates, 34 per cent. being the
lowest charge in the open market for first class bills
of three months, but if the influx of gold into the
Nl* of England should continue on its present
Scale, easier quotations may be expected at an early
ante.
About £56,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
Yesterday.
In the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon,

Gas Light Company a dividend at the rate of 9 per
cent, per annum for the past six months was de-
clared.
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the British
Aluerican Land Company, the report presented to
the shareholders stated that, considering the ad-
terse circumstances of the year, the sales of land
exhibited a fair average, both as regarded the quan-
tity sold and the price obtained. The amount car-
tied to the credit of the surplus account, as the net
Profit of the year from all sources, exceeds by 2,472
!°lB. 84c., or £556 7s. 81. sterling, that of the
former year. The surplus account has been, on the
other hand, debited with the loss sustained on the
tale of the Grand Trunk Stock, leaving the balance
of the surplus, at Dec. 31 last, 131,848 dole. 99a., or,
1p sterliog, £29 666 Os. sd. Mr. James J. Cum-
who occupied the chair, in moving the edgy-
ot the report, stated that the loss sustained by
the sale of the Grand Trunk shares had been
covered by a grant from the Government, amount-
ing to £7,000. A quantity of timber had been sold,
/thfch had increased the receipts by a large sum, in
spite of the difficulties presented by the paper cur-
telloy in the United States. A shareholder took
objections to some of the items in the balance-sheet
hjoh, he considered, had not been made out in a
Iteciently legible manner. After a short discus-
sion, the report was unanimously adopted.

There has been very little alteration to-day in the
karket for the English funds, and the dealings as
tisual have been limited. Considerable firmness,
however, still prevails, owing to the large influx of
