ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The general discount market presents a rather
easier appearanoe owing to the diminution in the
demand for money, usual immediately after the 4th,
and the brokers now evince more disposition to
negotiate first-class three months bills, at 3i per
cent.

About 134,000 in gold was taken into the bank
yesterday.

The amount of specie the Ripon will convey to
India and China is £277,307.

Mr. John Gillespie, of the firm of Gillespie,
Churchill, and Co., has joined the beard of the
English and Scottish Marine Insurance Company.
Subjoined is our usual analysis of the weekly
return issued by the Bank of England authorities.
It will be observed that both the discount operations
of the establishment and the Government deposits
have been somewhat largely increased. In the
former the augmentation is due to the close approxi-
mation of the rates in the general market to that of
the Bank, and in the latter to the revenue payments,
which are now being actively collected

It is proposed to ask the proprietors of the Scin de

attend a special meeting on the 19th inst., to
authorise the issue of £350,000, bearing interest at
the rate of 5 per cent., and £150,000 by debentures
bearing interest at the rate of 41 per cent. The
directors will submit that the distribution be pro

submit a proposition at a special meeting to be held
on the 19th inst., empowering the directors to raise
£500,000 by debentures, bearing interest at the rate

The progress of business in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days
has been moderately active, although no public
sale of importance took place yesterday, in con-
sequence of the absence of many of the powerful
operators at Ascot. Sugar has luny sustained pre-
vious rates, while in coffee, rice, tea, fruit, and
spices, there is no change of importance to record in
values The tallow market has continued dull, and
quotations for both present and forward delivery
have shown a slight downward movement.
The Stock Exchange will be closed to-morrow,
by order of the committee, on account of the Queen's
birthday.

At the eleventh annual general meeting of the
shareholders of the London Chartered Bank of
Australia, the accounts submitted showed that,
after making allowance for bad and doubtful debts,
there remained to the credit of profit and loss the
sum of £52,492, out of which the directors recom-
mended that a dividend be declared for the half-year
of 4 per cent., free of income-tax, amounting to
£40,000, and that a sum of £5,000 be placed to the
reserve fund, making a total of £45,000, and leaving
to be carried to next account a balance of £7,492.
