MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL. INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Indications of activity and firmness continue ap-
parent in the money market. The inquiry for dis-
count accommodation has been very large, and 4 per
cent. has been the lowest quotation for the negotia-
tion of the best paper.

A third dividend of 2s. 6d. is announced by the
liquidators of the East of England Bank, making
altogether 17s. 6d. in the pound, payable in Nor-
wich next week, and subsquently at the offices of
Messrs. 13arding, Piellein, Whinney, a,nd Gibbons,
Bank-buildings, City. .

The London and Australian Agency Company,
which proposes to facilitate the investment of
English capital in Australia, and to assist generally
in developing the resources of the country, has just
been announced. Its business will consist chiefly in
making advances to the pastoral tenants of the
Crown lands and others, and by taking security on
their stations, stock, freehold land, and wool, in ac-
cordance with the Mortgage and Lien Acts of the
Colonial Legislatures ; in actingas agents for the sale
of wool and other produce in Australia, or for its ship-
ment to England ; in effecting the sales of stations and
stock, and in conducting a financial and general agency
business. Operations will be commenced by taking
over the business of Messrs. J. H. Clough and Co.,
of Melbourne, which has been established upwards
of ten years. The purchase-money is to be paid
half in shares and half in debentures, and th •
business already secured will enable the company t o
commence operations at once. Under the articles of
association the qualification for each director is
fixed at £4,000 at the least, to be held by him in his
own right in the shares of this company. The
nominal capital is to be £1,000,000, the first issue
to comprise 30,000 shares of £2O each, which are
quoted this morning on the Stock Exchange I to
1 prem.

Two o'CLocic.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
68f. 35c.

The Stock Exchange markets have been steadily
supported, and, with the exception of a decline in
the prices of the Funds, quotations generally show
buoyancy. Consols have receded to 891 for
money, and to 89; 1 for the account. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 898 ; An-
nuities (1885), 13 11-16ths ; Exchequer Bills, 3s.

Western have each declined ss.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there
is no material change.

to 261 ; and Royal Mail Steam, to 119 i. Atlantic
