COMMERCIAL ENTI4;LITGENCIE,


TWELVE O'CLOCK.

No alteration has been made to-day in the official
rate of discount, which continues at 6 per cent.
There is only a moderate demand for accommoda-
tion, but the brokers still manifest an unwillingness
to negotiate bills in excess of the Bank quotation.
At the Bank of England yesterday afternoon
there was a further withdrawal of £25,000 in gold.

Advices received by the last mail state that Col.
N. W. Elphinstone had assumed charge of the
agency of the Scinde, Punjaub, and Delhi Railway
on the 31st October. Colonel Elphinstone had for
many years held high office under the Government
of the Punjaub, and had earned a distinguished re-
putation for his administrative ability and for his
successful exertions in introducing education among
the natives.

A dividend of 5 per cent., free of iacome-tax,
for the past half-year, has been declared by the
Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and
China, making together with the dividend of 8i per
cent. paid last July 13} per cent. per annum.
A dividend of £1 per share, free of income-tax,
for the past half-year, has also been declared by
the directors of the St. John Del Rey Mining Com-
pany.

According to Reuter's telegram the 3 per Cent.
French Rentes were quoted at 68f. 97e. Heavy.
In the English Stock Market numerous dealings
have taken place, and a rise of i per cent. at one
time occurred. This improvement, however, brought
forward sellers, and a slight reaction has been the
result. Consols, however, are still at a rise of * per
cent., 87* i for money, and 87* for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 86i
87* ; Bank of England Stock, 248* ; India 5 per
per Cent., 104 a ; and 51. per Cent. Enfaced
Paper, 104.

The Foreign Stock Market has presented a farther
buoyant appearance, although the settlement is in
course of arrangement which usually retards busi-
ness. Turkish Consolides are 471 ; Mexican ex
all Bonds, 25 f; t& New Loan, 23 ; Greek, 16 1 ;
Spanish Passive, 27i j. ; Certificates, 141 15 ;
Italian, 641 i ; Confederate Loan, 7 9 ; and Bra-
zilian Scrip, 11 1 prem.
American Securities have been well supported.
United States 5-20 Bonds are 631 1 ; Erie shares,
571 58 ; and Illinois, 801 81.
In the Railway Share Market there has been very
little animation, the settlement of the account
having occupied the chief attention of the dealers
and speculators. North Western and Midland have
each improved 10s., and Great Western 155., while
Brighton have declined 10s., and Great Eastern £l.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change
of importance.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, although
prices are a shade firmer. London and County
have improved to 79i ; Union of London, to 54;
Hudson Bay Company, to 16i ; and Overend,
Gurney, and Company, at 20k 21 ; Colo-
nial Company shares are quoted 1 prem. ;
