BIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The minimum of the Bank of England is still 2i
Per Cent., the directors at their weekly court to-day
not deeming it expedient to make any alteration,
although the actual marketable value ranges as low
as 2i per cent., with very little demand for accom-
modation.

There were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank of England yesterday.
Tile Yorkshire has arrived with gold to the
amount of £98,581 from Melbourne.
By telegram, dated Melbourne, April 27, received
t_.,o-daY, the shipments of gold to England since the
departure of the last mail are the Wellesley with
2,500 ounces, the Omar Pasha with 30,000 ounces,
and the Dover Castle with 33,000 ounces, making
au aggregate amount of £342,000.
Messrs. Baring have given notice that they have
received a remittance which will enable them to
Pay the 2 per cent. July dividend on Virginia ster-
ling bonds. In the price of these bonds yesterday
there was an improvement of between 2 and 3 per
cent.

A first dividend of 3s. in the pound has been
ordered by the Master of the Rolls to be paid to
the creditors of Barned's Banking Company
(Limited.) 'lt is understood this payment will
be made next week.
It was announced yesterday that Mr. James
Alfred Ebsworth, insurance broker, had suspended
PaYment. His liabilities at Lloyd's are reported
,
be considerable.
It is rumoured, and evidently with some founda-
tion, that the Metropolitan Bank is likely to be
amalgamated with another bank, but it would be
Premature to say more upon the subject until the
negotiation is complete. Such amalgamations are
vJ erwdesirable, as it would lead to a considerable
saving in working expenses, and diminish in a degree
the excessive competition which for the last two or
three years has characterised the progress of busi-
ness is the City ; it may be added in the provinces
also.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
,4.ave advanced 1, to 31 33, and the Consolidated
Atortgage Bonds remain steady at 24k, 25k.
We hear that a project is in contemplation for the
resuscitation of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited).
:there is still a considerable connexion that might be
re-collected, and the promoters of the enterprise
are no doubt, strengthened in their Uea by the
l erY satisfactory revival of the Agra and Con-
ridated Banks, both of which are making very
favourable progress.
