COMMERa INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market to-day has shown symptoms
of easiness, and therP, has consequently been a more
favourable feelinig e
ced. 'Ms downward ten-
dency of the
rPtes is due to an increased supply of
capital at the command of brokers and others, and'
they haws therefore been more willing to negotiate
lusit*ss at a fraction below the Bank rate. Al-
orough 5 and 58 per cent. has been the quotation
bankers'
short-dated acceptances, the general
charge for commercial bills has again been 6 per
cent.
About £20,000 in
Yesterday. gold was taken into the Bin
The Delhi, which left to-day for the East, con-
"veyed £38,302 in specie.
There was
no material alteration in the foreign
exchanges
yesterday afternoon.
A new joint-stock association, called the Now-
gong Tea Company of Assam, has been brought
forward, with a capital of £250,000, the first issue
to consist of 18,000 shares of £lO each. The object
is to purchase thirteen tea estates in Assam, and
further to extend their cultivation. The property
is well situated, and has been secured on advanta-
geous terms to the shareholders. The vendors have
agreed to take a large number of shares, and, as a
proof of their confidence of the success of the com-
pany, will guarantee a minimum dividend of 10 per
cent. for the first three years.
The prospectus of the Street Rolling-stock Com-
pany has just been issued. The company is formed
to carry on the business of building, selling, repair-
ing, purchasing, exchanging, letting on hire, and
generally dealing in street rolling-stock, viz., carts,
wagons, vans, drays, and other trade vehicles. As
the ordinary trade profit averages 25 per cent., and
the capital employed may be turned at least twice,
and sometimes three times, a-year, and the profits
on repairs and letting on hire averages 20 per cent.,
the business of the company promises to be a very
profitable one.

The report of the Peel River Land and Mineral
Company has just been issued. It states that the
" balance due on revenue and expenditure amounts
to £13,013 is. 6d., and there also stands to the
credit of the reserve fund a sum of £3,185 Os. 7d.,
together amounring to £16,198 2s. ld., available
for purposes of dividend and income-tax. Of the
above amount £9,000 was appropriated as an in-
terim dividend in July last, and the directors now
recommend that a further sum of £6,000, or one
per cent., free of income-tax, be declared as a second
dividend on the consolidated stock of the company,
payable on and after the 24th January, 1865.
