TONEY MARKET

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The general appearance or the discount market
remains without the slightest change of importance,
but there is still a tendency towards greater easiness,
owing to the abundance of money and the very
Moderate requirements of trade. The introduction
of new companies seems to have very little eff-et,
although there must be a considerable transfer of
floating capital from one channel to another.
About £12,0U0 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.
The following elites have been received by
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. on account of the
New Grenada dividends, viz.:—Septa Marta,
£2,637 13a.; Cartagena, £800; Subanilia. £300; making a total of £3.737 13s.
The annual general meeting of the proprietors of
the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was held
to-day proforma, in acorn dance with an announce.
ment made through a circular issued by the direr
tors to the effect that they anticipated being able
before the present time to report the result of their
4=
tender for the West India mail service, and cense- ;
quently to indicate their future course of proceedings.
Captain Mangles occupied the chair, and informed
the shareholders that the directors hoped, in the
course of a few days, to obtein the decision of her
Maje-ty's Government regarding the contract, and,
therefore, moved the adjournment of the meeting to
the 13th proximo. Tee report and accounts would
be issued previous to td at day. The resolution was
unanimously carried, and the meeting separated.
