MONEY MARKET

A ND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

To-day the Money Market presents a languid
appearance, the supplies on offer ar© small, and
the rates are greatly in favour of borrowers.

There were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank of England yesterday.

The official ;turn.; relating to the trade and
navigation of the United Kingdom for the six
months ended to 30th June have been published,
from which it appears that the total declared value
of the exports during that period have been
£87,613,484, against £92,857,830, compared with
the corresponding period of the previous year, and
showing a decrease of £52,442,346. The decrease
is most perceptible in beer and ale, cotton manu-
factures, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and
cutlery, linen manufactures, iron and unwrought
steel, silk manufactures, and woollen and worsted
manufactures. There has been a slight increase in
Coals and Cuba cotton, yarn, earthenware, and
porcelain, and linen yarn ; the importations
of the principal articles have been larger as
regards flax, palm oil, quicksilver, raw silk, pepper,
sheeps' and lambs' wool, coffee, corn, unrefined
sugar ; there is a diminution, however, in raw
cotton, Indian corn, flour, brandy, tea, tobacco, and
Wine. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in
the tonnage of vessels engaged in the foreign trade
of the country for both the entries inwards and the
clearance outwards, while the same result is observ-
able in the coasting trade in both instances.
The London and County Bank have announced
a dividend of 6 per cent., and a bonus of 5 per
cent., making 11 per cent. for the half-year to 30th
June last.
A remittance has been received by Messrs. Baring,
Brothers, and Co., on account of the New Granada
dividends of £B4O from the Custom House of Car-
thagena.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit.
tance of £902 lls. 4d. on the Debt of Ecuador.
An important telegram has been received from
Madrid, viz., to the effect that the Spanish Govern-
ment will not modify its arratgements for the
settlement of the Passive Debt. The bondholders,
therefore, had better accept the terms propos©d at
the meeting last Friday.
At the meeting held to-day of the East London
sank, the directors recommended the payment of
a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. The state-
ment of accounts to the 30th June showed a net
balance of £9,504.
At the meeting to-day of the Australian Agricul-
tural Company it was stated that the excess of ex-
penditure on capital account had been reduced to
'1,355, the cash balance on London was larger, and
the net revenue amounted to £21,319, being
,t 6,794 in excess of that earned in 1865.
he general revenue on the 31st December
amounted to £22,946, of which £7,500 was paid in
February, leaving a balance of £15,446. A divi-
uend was proposed of 10s. per share,l which leaves
£0446 undistributed. The dividend is payable on
the 9th proximo.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
are steady at 27 29, but the Consolidated Mortgage
Bonds
have declined I, to 22 22i.
„At the meeting held to-day of the Bank of
'4gYpt, the report for the half-year, to the 29th of
June last, stated that the net profits, after provid-
leg for rebate on bills not yet due, amount to
£20,145 ls. Bd., and that the usual dividend be de-
clared at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the
half-year (£12,500), free of Income Tax, leaving
a balance of £B,BlO Is. 6d., to be carried forward
to the next account.

Two O'CLOCK.

According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-
day, the French Rentes were 68f. 82c. Inanimate.

Not much animation prevails to-day in the market
for the British funds, and the attention of the mem-
bers is chiefly absorbed with the liquidation in fo-
reign bonds awl the various classes of share property.
blisille33 is dull however ; prices are firmer,
a'ld Consols are at an advance of 4 per cent., being
91 for transfer, and 944 for account.
