RONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, 'IwELvE O'CLOCK.
Thei.. is .a perceptible change iu th.e general
condition o the money market, the inquiries wttich
are steadily sustained being met at the quotations
which have now been current for some days past.
At 31, 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 yea' ly meeting took place to day of the Go-
vernor and Company of Copper Miners in England,
Sir John Henry Pelly, Bart., presiding, The report
stated 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.,11 similar undertakings
without sustaining material damage, and there could
be little doubt that it would ultimately secure an i.•
equivalent for the unproductivenes: it had so many
years borne_ The liabilities of the company con-
tinued 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 (£600,000) 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, 2,400,00(1
rupees ; and to Madras, 34,000 rupees. The de-
clared minimum price was as before, ls. 1 ltd, per
rupee on Calcutta, and 2s. on Bombay and Madras.
The applications within the limits were for about
110 lace. Tenders on Calcutta at is. 114 d will be ,
allotted in full, on Bombay will receive about 17
per cent., and above that price in full on Madras at
2s. will receive in full. All bills paid for at the
Bank before twelve o'clock tc-day might be claimed
this afternoon, so as to be in time for the mail leav-
ing on Good Friday.

A meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of ea

explain the policy they had pursued, and to refute 1!
certain all-ged imputations respecting their con-
duct. Mr. W. J. Johns occupied the chair, and si
entered into an elaborate statement, which at its
conclusion gave such entire satisfaction, that a vote

of confidence in the directors was moved by Mr. ~
Stern, who presided at an adverse meeting of the
proprietors yesterday. It was stated that as soon
as the call was paid up several branch establish- -
memo would be opened in South Wales and opera-
