DIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMEROUL INTELLIGENOI3.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

-- • - -------
The Money Market is in a very anomalous con-
dition, as there are plenty of lenders and compa-
ratively few borrowers. The rates are almost no-
minal. First-rate bills of three months date are
readily taken at 3 to 31- per cent., and the in-
quiriQ3 at the Bank of England are consequently
unimportant.

At the Bank of England yesterday there were no
bullion operations.
The coupons of the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds
of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, due
on the 15th inst., are officially announced fur pay-
ment.

The directors of John Crossley and Sons, Limited,
have issued a report recommending a dividend of
235. per share, which, with the interim dividend
paid in August last, is equal to 20 per cent. per
annum for the past year.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been more ani-
mation. Sugar has been in good demand, at en-
hanced prices, and a fair business has been reported
in coffee, at full values. Rice has been dull, and
only moderate transactions have been entered into
in tallow, at about previous quotations.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
are in active demand, and have advanced 2 to
50.52, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, 21,
to 40 40i.
The Wave of Life has arrived from Melbourne
with gold-dust and specie to the amount of £35,000.

been added to by £23,500. The Public Deposits,
consequent upon the distribution of the dividends,
