MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL t tsiTELLiGENOis.

TWICYS O'CLOCK.
The Money Market has closed steadily, with a
slight increase of business.
At the Bank of England yesterday there were no
bullion operations of importance.

The amount reported to have arrived by the Alas.
it appears, is £20,000, instead of £5,000, as at
first stated.

The specie movement during the past week has
been on an extremely limited scale. The imports
have only amounted to about £80,604, including
£45,000 from New York by the Hibernia, £10,404
from the West Coast of Africa by the Mandengo,
£20,000 from Alexandria by the Massilia, and about
£5,000 in silver from the Continent. The exports
have been to the extent of £143,772, viz., £lO,OOO
in gold to St. Helena, by the Roman ; and there
have been remittances to the Continent through
private sources estimated at £133,762.
The traffic receipts of the East Indian Railway
Company for the week ending 13th January last,
upon 1,131 miles open, were £42,333 ; and in the
corresponding period of last year, upon 1,129 miles
open, they were £39,661.

Her Majesty's Customs have granted a first-class
sufferance to the new warehouses at Lucas and
Spencer's Wharf, Bermondsey Wall.
Vice-Chancellor Malins has appointed Mr. James
Cooper, of the firm of Johnstone, Cooper, Wintle,
and Evans, provisional official liquidator of the
Marseilles Extension Railway and Land Company
(Limited).
Payment of the half-year's interest on the At-
lantic and St. Lawrence shares due on the 15th
inst. has been announced by the Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada.

It was announced yesterday that the bills of Mr.
Robert ToOth, in the Australian trade, had been
returned. The liabilities are stated to be about
£50,000, and a favourable liquidation is antici-
pated. The failure is attributed to his connection
with the London and Colonial Company, which is
now being wound up.
Another failure has occurred at Lloyds. Mr.
Robert Dewar, underwriter and insurance broker,
has been obliged to seek the indulgence of his cre-
ditors, and has placed his affairs in the hands of
Messrs. Nichols and Leatherdale, accountants.

A report has been issued by the liquidator of the
Phosphate of Lime Company, together with a state-
'tient of accounts to the ..31st December last, and
dividend has been declared at the rate of 10 per
cent. on the working of the last six months. This
company has been reconstituted as the Sombrero
Phosphate Company (Limited), with a capital of
£lOO,OOO, in shares of £lO each fully paid up, and
the directors announce their intention of paying
quarterly dividends, the first of which will be at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and be due April
next.

More firmness has been apparent to-day in the
market for Consols, the quotations being 904 for
transfer, and 904 for the April. The account
Price, it will be observed, is * lower than it was
Yesterday owing to the abundance of money and the
inlprobabiiity of any increase in the rates of discount.
