AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Harvest operations aro partially concluded, and
the necessary expenditure has had little or no effect
upon the Money Market. The local requirements
ordinarily exercise some influence, notes and coin
being so much required by the country banks. The
minimum of the Bank, however, remains at 2 per
cent., as the directors of the national establishment
at their meeting to-day separated without notifying
any alteration in their terms for commercial paper.
The sum of £22,000 in blr gold was taken to
the Bank of England yesterday.
The Shannon has left Lisbon with the Brazilian
mails, and about £75,000 in specie.
At the meeting of the Don Pedro (Brazilian)
Mining Company the dividend declared was 3s. 6d.
per share for the quarter ending the 30th June,
being at the rate of 100 per cent. per annum.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben-
tures remain steady at 23 25 ; but the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds have receded to 21 21f.
At the meeting held to-day of the South-Eastern
Railway Company the report was presented. With
respect to the dividend, it stated that after making
provision for all fixed charges, rents, and interest
on the whole of the capital expenditure on lines
and stations productive and open for traffic, the
sum remaining applicable to the dividend on the
consolidated stock is £107,904 6s. 11d. This sum is
equal to the payment of a dividend at the rate of
£2 16s. Gd. per cent. per annum, but the directors
recommend that the whole of the interest on capital
- invested in unproductive works, including the
direct Tunbridge line, be charged to revenue ; de-
ducting this sum (.£29,182 4s. 2d.) there will re-
main £78,722 2s. 9d., which is equal to a dividend
on the consolidated stock after the rate of £2 per
cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £2,357 14s. 9d.,
and this dividend the directors recommend to be
paid on Thursday, the sth September. Revenue will
thus bear all interest charges.
The cotton report of Messrs. E. B. Liddell and
Co., dated Alwandria, 19th August, states that the
market remagns in the same lifeless condition as
reported on the 12th instant, and the transactions
may be considered as nil. With regard to cereals,
they state that the unfavourable news from your
side for Egyptian wheat has had very little effect
Upon prices here, as arrivals are small and freight
to Liverpool by steamers has been as low as 3s. 3d.
