NON-E-Y
MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The money market continues very steady at pre-
vious quotations ; if anything, money is not quite
so plentiful.

It has been notified that Mr. William Grain, of
No. 31, Threadneedle-street, London, has been
appointed a Commissioner of Affidavits for the
Canadian Courts, and of Deeds for the States of
New York and California.
A further withdrawal of £60,000 in gold took
Place at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon.
The fallowing are the latest prices of buldou :
Bar gold, 775. 9d. to 775. Sid. per oz. standard ;

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been only a
Moderate amount of business transacted, the opera-
tions in tea having been deferred until the public
Sales, which commence this day. Sugars have
Maintained steady prices, while superior qualities of
coffee have brought full values. In rice the opera-
tions have been to a very moderate extent, the high
rates demanded by holders having checked exten-
sive operations. In tallow the dealings have been to
a very moderate extent, and prices have in some
instances ruled a shade firmer, particularly for
forward delivery.
We have received the annexed with regard to
the arrangements between the Grand Trunk and
the Great Western Railways of Canada

"It is announced that the negotiations to which
the chairman of the Grand Trunk and Great West-
ern Railways of Canada referred at their late half-
yearly meetings as being then in progress, have
now been brought to a successful termination— a
memorandum of agreement having been settled by
the two boards. The principle of the agreement is
to charge equal rates and fares for competitive
traffic, and a division of all traffic for which the two
companies compete in Canada. There are also
stipulations preventing any unnecessary outlay by
either companies for new lines, and for the joint
working of the stations of the two lines where they
come in contact. It is believed that the result of
this agreement will be not only to obtain more re-
numerative rates for the existing traffic, but also to
develops the traffic of both companies, with, at the
same time, a reduction in the working expenses."
The report has been issued of the Chartered
Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China for
the past 12 months ending 31st December last,
from which it will be seen that the profit amounts
to £102,221 3s. 2d., to which has to be added
£2,713145. 2d., brought forward from the previous
year, making a total of £104,934 17s. 4d. A sum
of £75,000 has been paid in two half-yearly divi-
dends of five per cent. each. The shareholders will
Probably have anticipated from the disastrous events
of 1866 that the results of the bank's operations
for that year have been unsatisfactory. Looking
forward to the possibility of continued danger, the
directors considered it their duty to curtail as much
48 Possible their business at all points, and it will be
Seen from the accounts that this policy has been
strictly carried out, though at the cost of a very
material reduction of the usual profits of the bank.
