CITY, TWELVE o'CLocx.
A quieter demand is reported in the Money
market, and the rates exhibit a downward ten-
dency.

About X5OOOO in gold was taken into the Bank
On Saturday.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week have generally been more satis-
factory. There Las been increased demand for
both cloths and yarns at Manchester, owing to the
late advices from the East. In the woollen trade of
Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been
a rather active inquiry for both autumn and winter
goods, and a more cheerful tone has prevailed in
the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and
Nottingham. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol-
Yerhampton there has also been a decided improve-
ment in most departments.
The first annual meeting of the Bank of Hin-
dustan was held to-day. The report stated that the
directors intend to hold a meeting on the 31st of
Dec., at which a complete statement of the business
of the bank would be laid before the proprietors in
anticipation of the nest annual meeting. The
accounts received from India still show a marked
improvement has taken place in the general business
of the bank.

At the half-yearly meeting today of the Union
Bank of Australia, Mr. Henry Buckle in the chair,
the report el the directors, which was unanimously
agreed to, stated that the operations of the bank at
all its branches during the year were of a highly
satisfactory character. The business of the establish-
ment had required the gradual transfer to the
colonies of a considerable portion of the funds
which had previously accumulated in London. This
necessity arose chiefly from the extension of busi-
ness in Queensland and New Zealand, and in some
degree also from the removal of deposits
which the directors had not sought to retain by
allowing high rates of interest, a policy
they have uniformly opposed. The state-
ment of accounts showed a balance of net
profit of £88,871 Bs. 11d. The directors, there-
fore, recommend to apply the sum of £BO,OOO as a
dividend of 8 per cent. for the half-year,
payable in London, free of income tax, on
the 14th instant, and in the colonies with
the addition of income tax, as soon as' the
inspector shall fix after receipt of advices.
The chairman congratulated the proprietary
on the satisfactory progress the bank had made
during the past year, a progress evidenced in a
profit of £20,000 more this than in the preceding
twelvemonths. The bank had been established 25
sears, during which period its career had been one
of uninterrupted success.
