COMMERC CAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY; TWELVE o'CLOcK.
The Money Market to-day has shown symptoms
of easiness, and there has consequently been a more
favourable feeling evinced. This downward ten-
dency of the rates is due to an increased supply of
they
at the command of brokers and others, and
leY have therefore been more willing to negotiate
businessil at a fraction below the Bank rate. Al-
thoughi 54 and per cent. has been the quotation
°l' bankers' short-dated acceptances, the general
charge for commercial bilLs has again been 6 per
Cent.

About £20,000 in gold was taken into the 3alk

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
la 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.

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.
