N E-Y MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There Is no perceptible change in the general
condition o the money market, the inquiries which
are steadily eustain•-d being met at the quotations
which have now been current for some days past.
At 3i to 4 per cent. first-class bills are readily nego-
tiable, and the Bank authorities are still securing a
very fair proportion of the securities brought for-
ward by the trading classes.
About £25,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

The yearly meeting took place to day of the Go-
vernor and Company of Copper Miners in England,
Sir John Henry Pelly, Bart., presiding, The report
sta.ed that the operations of the company within
the year ending 24th January last had resulted in
a further loss of £5,014 ss. 61. This result was
attributable to unsettled and over-supplied markets,
and consequent excessive competition. The long
period of depression had proved the power of the
company to compete wi-h similar undertakings
without sustaining material damate,and there could
be little doubt that it would ultimately secure an .1-,
Equivalent for the unproductivenes- it had so many
years borne. The liabilities of the company con- 2
tinned small, and the limited sum realised in the
past year had been carried to the credit of capital
and expenditure account. The chairman moved the
adoption of the report, and stated that the losses
sustained during the year was about £5,000. An
amendment was, however, proposed to the effect
that the directors withhold their claim for remune-
ration till the return of a more prosperous condi-
tion of the company's trade. The report, after a
short and rather angry discussion, was adopted.
The biddings for 6,000,000 rupees (1600,000) in
bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of
England. The proportions allotted were-to Cal-
cutta, 3,060,000 rupees ; to Bombay, 2,400,000
rupees ; and to Madras, 34,000 rupees. The de-
clared minimum price was as before, ls. 111 d. per
rupee on Calcutta, and 2s. on Bombay and Madras.
The app ieatious within the limits were for about
110 I.cs. Tenders on Calcutta at ls. 114 d will be
allotted in full, on Bombay will receive about 17
per cent, and shove that price in full on Madras at
2s, will receive in full. All bills paid for at the
Bank before twelve o'clock to-d,-y might be claimed
this afternoon, so as to be in time for the mail leav-
ing on Good Friday.
