MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market shows no alteration. The
commercial requirements are moderate, and the
demand for discount :accommodation is conse-
quently not very large. The rate continues to be
4 per cent. for the best bills, and there are excep-
tional operations at 38 per cent.
With reference to the Russian Ironworks Com-
pany, we understand that measures are to be taken
to enforce the return of the deposits on the ground
of the variance of the prospectus with the articles
of association.

It has been officially announced that the sub-
scription list of the Lindholnae Estate Improvement
Company will close on Saturday next, the 19th inst.
The London Bank of Mexico and South America
(Limited), as agents for the majority of holders of
the British Convention Bonds of Mexico, give
notice that they are prepared to receive applications
from holders in England to enter into the arrange-
ment which has been made with the Mexican pro-
prietors for the introduction of their bonds to the
London market. It is understood that these bonds
are one of the best securities in Mexico, the interest
and sinking fund being provided for by the hypo-
thecation of 16 per cent. of certain import duties,
which it is believed will extinguish the debt at par
in four or five years.
