COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

There was much inactivity to-day at the Stock
Exchange, but Consols maintained the price of
Yesterday. There is certainly fresh signs of reviv-
ing business, but whether they will continue is very
doubtful. Spanish stock was firm to-day, so was
Turkish and Peruvian. The supply of wuney is
abundant, but the demand for it very limited.

k The Council of India have announced that they

The quotation of exchange brought by the Liver-
pool Pacific Mail Company's steamer Panama from
Rio is 1811 to 181 d., with a decling tendenoy.
At the date of her calling at Rio there was no later
news from Paraguay.

At the meeting of the Standard Bank of British
South Africa, a dividend of 10s. per share for the
half-year was declared on the shares with £25 paid,
and of 4E. on those with £lO paid.
The half-yearly meeting of the Great Indian
Peninsula Railway Company is convened for the
14th of May.
A petition for the winding up of the North
Bent Extension Railway Company is to be beard
before Vice-Chancellor James on the Ist of May.
The applications for the Spanhh Loan have
amounted to a larger sum than anticipated. The
oreralion is considered a success. On the Con-
tinent the subscriptions have been very consider-
able.

A very favourable impression seems to have been
produced among the holders of Turkish securities
by the statement from Constantinople, that the
forthcoming budget will contain some plan for the
redemption of the consoliJated debt. Without
pronouncing a definite opinion, where so little is
actually known, we may observe that it is not un-
usual to have flattering announcements of this sort,
on the eve, as in the present case, of a new loan for
a large sum, and that it is very unlikely there will
be any important financial operation by the Turkish
Finance Minister without a fresh appeal for Eng-
lish capital.

The facility with which the Brazilian Govern-
ment have been able to raise a small domestic loan
equal to about £600,000 in sterling at the present
rate of exchange, is regarded as further evidence
of the increasing accumulation of capital in the
provinc3 of Rio de Janeiro. The sale of Govern-
ment Internal Bonds, by which the loan in ques-
tion has been effected, has been chiefly made to
the moneyed corporation on account of trust
funds, and to a bank in the metropolitan province.
The recent rise in the value of coffee, involving a
profit on its production of at least 25 per cent.,
has poared considerable additional wealth into that
province. Other districts of the empire are almost
equally benefited by the rise in the value of sugar
and the price of cotton. The value of the trade of
the United Kingdom with Brazil, export and im-
port, for the year 1868, amounts in sterling to about
413,000,000.
