COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

on the Stock Exchange, and as a consequence prices
have not been firm, but we have no reduction to
report. American Securities have gone down, and
Continental shares are inactive, and will remain so
until the effect of the speech of the Emperor Napo-
leon is known.

The Board of Trade returns for the month and
ten months ended 31st October have been issued,
and present but little variation compared with
previous returns. They do not, however, show
any improvement in the state of business. The
total declared value of exports for the mouth
of the present year was £16,454,896 against
£16,876,898 in 1868, and £15,849,142 in 1867,
which is a decrease compared with the former
period of £422,002, and an increase contrasted with
the latter of £605,754.

At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. S. Rigg,
manufacturer, of Bradford, on Saturday, the state-
ment of affairs showed liabilities £8,098 and assets
£1,697, which, after all deductions, would afford
a dividend of 3s. 3d. in the pound. After con-

siderable discussion the meeting separated with-
out coming to any decision as to the course to be
adopted.
It is stated that Messrs. Shaw and Thomson, of
Leadenhall-street, iron merchants, have undertaken
to act as advisers and agents of the Admiralty in the
disposal of the large stock of surplus iron stores at
the dockyards, in which are embraced the quan-
tities that have obtained notoriety as " Seeley's
pigs."
It is stated that the arrangements as to the
German American Telegraph Cable have not been
accurately represented. A concession has been
granted by the North German Confederation of all
telegrams from North Germany to America not
required by the sender to be sent by some other
route, and also the right to transmit German and
English messages, which will be transferred to a
new German-English Company about to be formed.
The caution money, £15,000, in Prussian Govern-
ment Stock, was deposited some weeks since, and
the requisite contracts and arrangements will
shortly be completed. A new cable, containing
three conductors, will be laid by the Telegraph
Construction and Maintenance Company from
North Germany to Lowestoft. One of the wires
will be reserved for German-American messages,
the other two will be used for German and English
telegrams. One of the wires of the Anglo-Ameri-
can Company, from London to the United States,
will be appropriated, but not exclusively, for the
German-American correspondence, and the new
company are to receive a rebate from the Anglo-
American and Newfoundland Companies on mes-
sages passing through the new cable and the
Atlantic lines. It is expected that a large revenue
will be obtained from the German-English traffic.
The Telegraph Act of last year specially excepted
telegrams to and from foreign countries from the
Postmaster-General's monopoly.

Messrs. Berger Spence and Co.'s weekly report
says—Since our report of the 22d the business
transacted has been sufficiently encouraging to
sustain prices and keep producers well engaged.
In minerals of most descriptions, but snore espe-
cially in the staple home productions, there has been
a fair business done. There has been a little change
in the value of metals during the week, with the
exception of Scotch and Cleveland pig iron, in both
of which a satisfactory business has been done at
advanced prices. Copper is not in great require-
ment, but smelters are firm at present rates. Tin
and spelter remain quiet at unaltered prices. Lead
in good inquiry at full rates.
At a meeting at Liverpool of the creditors of
Messrs. Mitchell and Phillips, metal brokers and
tin-plate merchants, who failed a few days ago,
it appeared that the secured liabilities amount to
£175,000 and the unsecured to £35,000, while
against the latter the assets reach only £5,000. It
was resolved to execute a deed of assignment.
