MONEY and COMMERCIAL MARKET.

(From the Morning Papers of this day.)
MORNINU POST.—The city correspondent of a morning paper who
undertakes from time to time to enlighten his readers respecting the
affairs of the Bank of England continues to show his disappointment at
the non-verification of the assurances he gave them some months' ago,
to the effect that there would be a reduction in the dividend, thereby
causing many credulous persons to sell their stock at a sacrifice of from
sto 7 per cent. At the conclusion of his remarks on the monthly
averages for the quarter just ended he is pleased to say .
" A good deal of stress was laid last month by the organs of the
Bank of England on the increase in the Rest of 40,000/., as it neany
covered the amount taken from the surplus capital for the dividend
upon Bank Stock ; but as there is now a decrease of 33,000/. it will be
amusing to see what they will say upon the subject."
The " organs of the Bank" may with truth observe, in reply to this
unreflecting statement, that the average of the Bank Rest, published in
the Gazette of Friday evening last, so far from showing a falling off i❑
that item, as insinuated, is again even more favourable than the pre.
ceding one. On the last occasion of publishing the Bank accounts it is
to be recollected that, although the Rest exhibited an increase of
40,0001 on the March average, no deduction had been made of the sum
required for the payment of the dividend, namely, 42,000/. That
amount has now, however, been appropriated to the object alluded to,
and, as the diminution for the month is only 35,000/., the proprietary
may be fairly considered as having, on the average principle, added
7,000/. to their reserved fund since the publication of the April return.
Our contemporary will thus perceive bow easy it is, where there is no
purpose to serve but that of communicating correct information to the
public to dispose of a fallacy of the nature of that which is conveyed, or
intended to be conveyed, in the short passage we have just quoted.

MORNING HERALD.—WC ColltillUC without the slightest intelligence
from abroad at all interesting to our commercial readers, and the Money
Market, so far as regards commercial purposes, continues to wear a very
monotonous appearance.

The difficulty of employing money profitably in commercial dealings,
to which we have unfortunately been compelled so often to revert, has
induced capitalists to make some investments in money stock to-day, and
also in time bargains. In consequence there has been rather more ac-
tivity in the British Stock Market, and Consols have closed at the im-
proved quotation of 93a to tbr money and time. In the heavier secu-
rities there has also been some business, and the Three-and-a-that( per
Cents. Reduced are firm at 1001 to ; the new Three-and.a.Half
ler Cents. have advanced to 1011 to 11. Bank Stock rules between
205 and 204 k for money, and at 205 for time. India Stock is 2.701
money. The premium upon the unfunded debt rules at 73. India
&Inds are 60 prem.

MORNING ,ADVERTISER.—A good deal of business has been doing
again to-day in the Asphalte shares. Those of Claridge's Patent are
quoted at 13 premium ; the Liverpool at 2i premium ; and the Polon.
ceau, which were issued to-day, at 2to 24 premium. The Railway
Shares are not in very good demand. The Edinburgh and Glasgow have
improved to 1 premium. The Great Western ruched 30i in the
morning, but left off at-25 '29i- premium ; the London and Birmineh-
at 85 premium; the Brighton at 1/ premium; and the "
and Birmingham at, lg premium. The shares of tt-
Fund bear a'premiuin of to
