NONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCS.

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
The transactions in the general discount market,
this morning, have failed to produce any new tea-
ture. The general charge for first class bills still
continues at 5Z- per cent., with occasional operations
at 54 per cent.

About 128,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from
the Bank yesterday for shipment to the East.
The amount of specie to be conveyed by the
pelt; which leaves to-day for Bombay is £624,120,
of which £250,000 is in gold for Alexandria.
The return published yesterday evening by the
'lank of E ngland authorities is generally regarded
DB presenting some very favourable features. The
bullion has not been so largely decreased as ex-
Peeled, while the reserve of notes has been increased,
and a falling off is shown in the amount of other
securities. Annexed are the particulars:—

Arrangements have been concluded by which the
old established firm of Messrs. H. and S. Johnston
and Co. have amalgamated their banking and
agency business with the Merchant Banking Com-
pany of London; and also that Messrs. C. Butler,
firlet Pryor, and J. G. Magaw, partners of the
have joined the board of the company. The
bank will commence business on the Ist proximo in
Cannon-street.
The progress of business in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Market daring the last few days
bas been animated, particularly as regards sugar, in
Which large speculative dealings have been entered
into at fully previous rates. Coffee has been in
moderate request, while there has been a more
active inquiry for rice and cocoa. At the public
Niles or tea, Assam qualities have realised an
advance of ld to lid per lb., while China descrip-
tions remain without change. Fruit, at public sale
--vie., currants, raisins, and figs—have been at
rather lower rates, while in the tallow market
considerable depression has prevailed, quotations
for both present and forward delivery showing a
downward tendency.
The shareholders of the lonian Bank held an
extraordinary general meeting to day for the pur-
pose of electing two directors. Mr. 011iver Ferrar
occupied the chair, and in proposing that the names
of Mr. Alexander Pendia Petrocochino and Mr.
Richard Ferrer be added to the list of directors,
took the opportunity of stating that the question
for extending the business of the bank
In the neighbouring country of Greece bad
been deliberated upon, but no final reso-
lution had, however, as yet been made. Before
determining upon that subject the directors would
seek the advice and approbation of their pro-
Pttctary. One of the gentlemen proposed as a
director was largely connected with the commerce
ooth of this country and Greece, end it was believed
that he would be able to afford the executive great
assietance in arriving at a satisfactory conclusion.
,
busicess of the bank within the past year or so
had considerably increased, and it was found neces-
sary to strengthen the board in order to secure an
adequate attendance of gentlemen efficiently to
conduct its affairs.
At a general meeting of the shareholders of the
..,rust and Loan Company of Upper Canada, the
'tight Hon. E. P. Bouverie, M.P., in the chair, the
dividend as proposed by the directors, namely, at
the rate of 81 per cent. per annum, less income tax,
Was declared payable, and the report unanimously
adopted. It was stated that the net profits for the
business
Silt months remounted to £14,804, that the
of the company continued prosperous, and
the wealth of the Canadian provinces showed in-
lePutable
4 signs of increase.

ttBual of late, being very dull, the fluctuation has
