AN D

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The expected alteration in the Bank rate of din-
Count has not 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
Induced to imagine. Bankers and brokers still
charge 4
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-
Po, 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.

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

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 I, and for the ac-
count, ex the dividend, 891 /. All descriptions of
securities are depressed, little business having been
transacted. The New Threes and Reduced Annui-
ties are 881 ; Exchequer Bills, 3s. prem. ; and
India 5 per Cents., 1061 k.

ness, but prices are tolerably steady. Turkish 6 per

dull, but in one or two instances prices are firmer.
