TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The discount market to-day is without the slightest
change, inquiries being moderate, and the rates
easy. be m -!)tioned however, that a limited
amou, ~f Ins uie s has been negotiated in choice ac-
ceptances, as low as 3-i per cent., so that a reduc-
tion of the Bank's minimum to 3 per cent. is likely
to take place at an early date.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
liLve risen 2 per cent., to 52 54, and the Consoli-
dated Mortgage Bonds, 1, to 4-11, 4-q-, on the state-
ment issue 1 by Mr. Mci-lcnry,• the tiaa,ncial agent
of the cemi,any in this country.

cember on the shares of the Metropolitan Sewage

instant. _ _

The amount required for the March dividend of
the Turkish Loan of 1858 being already at the
credit of. the Syndicate, the Imperial Ottoman Bank

count that dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per

annum.
It has been announced by the Imperial Ottoman
Bank that the drawing of the bonds of the Danu-

60,333,000 f., in the advances of 666,000 f., and in

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
there has been very little business transacted. For
superior descriptions of sugar, however, steady
rates have been maintained. Coffee has been
neglected, while the operations in rice have not been
sufficient to cause any change in values. Saltpetre
and tallow have been dull, and barely sustained
former prices.
