THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, JEST 22.
The sale of wheat is quite confined to the millers, and the
supply appears only about equal to their demands. Prices
were firm to-day, and with unsettled weather as harvest ap-
proaches, some considerable advance might be expected.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states:—Though
a good deal of heavy rain has fallen at intervals during the
past week, yet being followed by drying winds and warm wea-
ther, we do not apprehend any injury has been sustained by the
crops in this locality. With the exception of wheat, we
have small imports of grain, owing to the prevalence of
westerly winds. The trade has been very inanimate, but with-
out any quotable alteration in value. To-day we had again a
moderate show of wheat from our farmers, who were very un-
willing sellers at any concession upon last week's rates, and
the business done was very limited: The foreign market was
very tame. A good sale for grinding barley at our quotrtions.
Oats dull. Not much doing in beans or peas. Indian corn
goes off at 295. per qr. 480 lbs. The linseed market is very
quiet, with moderate importations. A consumptive sale for
cakes. No change in rapeseed; for cakes a moderate demand.
A cargo of superior Saldanha Bay guano is now on the market.

COMMERCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND.—Thi, annual
general meeting of the shareholders:of this company was held
yesterday in the board-room of their offices in Lothbury; 2.11 r.
Barnewall in the chair. The report stated that, after making
full allowance for bad and doubtful debts, and paying the
charges and current expenses of the past year, the net profits
amounted to 15,551/. 13s. Out of these profits a dividend
at the rate of 61. per cent. per annum for the half-year end-
ing 31st December, 1850, had been already paid, and the
directors had now to declare a dividend, free from income-
tax, for the half-year ending 30th June, 1851, at the same
rate. After paying such dividend and deducting the rebate
of interest upon current bills, and also writing off Si. per
cent.; (2001.) from the item! of 4,000/. annually charged
to the bank premises account, there will remain a balance of
4,1911. 3s. 6d. to be added to the reserve fund, thereby in-
creasing this fund to 28,062/. 17s. I Id. The report having
been adopted unanimously, the chairman said it was true
they might have increased the dividend, or given the share-
holders a bonus; but, acting on the principle that to have
strength long it was wise to use it well, the board had
thought it better for the permanent interests of the company
to add the whole of the surplus profits over the dividend re-
commended to the reserve fund. It was to be hoped that at
no distant day the company would realise all reasonable ex-
pectations. The chairman then declared a dividend at the
rate of six per cent, for the half-year ending June 30, 1851.
A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Cuthill, as also to the
board of directors and to the chairman, after which the meet-
ing separated.
