CuitIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The eected alteration in the ank rate of dig-
count hasten ot been realised. The resolution of the
authorities to keep the value of money at its present
Price has not created any surprise, although an ad-
vance had been generally anticipated. Capital is
More abundant, and there is a belief that the weekly
return to be published this evening will be of a more
favourable character than most persons had been
i
nduced to imagine. Bankers and brokers still
charge 4i per cent. for the best three months' bills.
A further sum of £37,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank yesterday.
It is understood that at the ensuing meeting of
the Imperial Ottoman Bank the general committee
will propose a further payment of £1 per share,
Making, with the ad interim distribution of 10s. on
the Ist of January last, a total dividend for the year
1864 of 30s. per share, or at the rate of 15 per cent.
Per annum. The sum of £24,200, -being the statu-
tory amount of 10 per cent. on the net profit, is also
to be carried to the reserve fund.
The directors of the South African Mortgage and
Investment Company have issued their annual re-
Port, 'which states that the net profits, including the
premium of £1 per share on 5,788 shares, amounted
to £12,302 16s. 10d. ; and they recommend an ad-
ditional dividend for the remainder of the year at
the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, being, with the
former sum
paid, at the rate of 7 per cent. for the
12 months.

The first ordinary general meeting of the share-
holders of the Otago and Southland Investment
Company
was held to-day. The report recom-
mended a dividend at the rate of six per cent. per
annum for six months, being the period during
:which the company has been in operation in the
colony,
free of income tax, which will absorb
£1,117 9s. 2d., leaving a balance of £197 9s. 9d. to
be carried to next account.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the French 3 per Cent Rentes were 67f. 70c.
Leavy.

The English Stock market has been quiet and
heavy to-day. No alteration of importance has
taken place in the Funds, and Consols for money,
with the dividend, are again 901 j, and for the ac-
count, ex the dividend, 891 1. All descriptions of
securities are depressed, little business having been
transacted. The New Threes and Reduced Annui-
ties are 88/ ; Exchequer Bills, 3s. prem. ; and
India 5 per Cents., 1061 1.
In the Foreign Market there is not much busi-
ness, but prices are tolerably steady. Turkish 6 per
Cents, 1862, are 721 73 ; do. Consolides, 511 1;

dull) but in one or two instances prices are firmer.
,_Great Eastern, North Western, Metropolitan and
rth Eastern (Berwick), have each improved 55.,
and Great Northern £l, while Great Western and
South Western have each declined ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.
