COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton IVlarliet yesterday pre-
sented less animation, and prices of all descriptions
were without alteration. The sales were estimated
at 4,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the
speculators. In the Railway Share Market only
a small business was transacted, but values tended
upward.
The half-yearly meeting of the Union Bank of
London was held to-day. The report was very
short, and stated that the net profits for the half-
year ending 30th June last were 67,4951. Bs. 7d.
From this the diretors recommended a dividend
at the rate of 10 per cent. pc'. annum, and a bonus
of 21. 10s. per cent. on the paid-up capital, amount-
ing together to the sum of 45,0001., and that
15,0001. should be appropriated to the reserve fund,
leaving a balance of 7,4951. Bs. 7d. to be carried
forward. This dividend and bonus, with that paid
in January, amounted to 15 per cent. per annum.
After a short discussion the report was adopted.
No news has yet been received of the Royal
Charter from Melbourne to Liverpool, which has
now been out 94 days, and insurances have been
effected at 110 s. to 130 s. premium.
The market for the English Funds to-day has
not been very active, speculators and dealers being
occupied with the arrangements for the settlement
of the half-mon'hty account. In the Foreign Stock
and Railway Share Market prices have exhibited
little alteration, as there is little support given to
the market by the general public, the transfer-
books being shut until the 16th inst., except by
special transfer. Consols have been at 95! far
money, and 95 for the account; they are now rather
flatter, being 95 to 951 for money, and 951 for
the account rcepectively. The New 3 per Cents.
are 951 a and the Reduced 951 ; Bank Stock.
222 ; India Bonds, 20s. prem., and the Deben-
tures 991. Exchequer Bills are steady at 335. pm.
for the March, and 21s. to 245. pm. for the June
issues.

A rather limited business has been done in the
Foreign Stock Market, but prices tend upwards.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 941 951 ; Spanish 3 per
Cents., 431- ; Russian 41 per Cents., 991 ; Sardi-
nian 5 per Cents., 89i ; Brazilian 5 per Cents.,
102 ; ditto Scrip, to dis. ; Mexican 3 per Cents.,
19;i- ; Peruvian 4 per Cents., 88i ; Portuguese 3
per Cents., 45i ; and Dutch 21 per Cents., 65g.
A very limited amount of business has been re-
ported to-day in the Railway Share Market. The
arrangements for the settlement of the half-
monthly accounts being now in progress,
most of the transactions entered into have been
in reference to that event. Prices, however, in
consequence of the more favourable traffic returns,
have slightly improved. Eastern Counties, North
Western and North British, have improved ss. ,
and Great Western, 10s. ; Edinburgh, Perth, and
Dundee, declined 55., and Caledoniau, 103. In the
other lines dealt in there was little alteration to re-
port. Tim Foreign and Colonial lines are at steady
rates. Northern of France declined barely 55.,
and Grand Trunk of Canada, ss. ; Great Western
of Canada advanced 55., and East Indian 10s.
Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares have
exhibited no change of importance.
