MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A rather active business is reported in the gene-
ral discount market, and the rates are consequently
very firm at their present level.
There were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank of England yesterday.
The Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, Lon-
don, and China have declared a dividend to-day at
the rate of 3 per cent., free of income tax, for the
half-year ending the 30th inst., payable on the Ist
proxi mo.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
remain steady at 31 33, and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds at 25 26.
The traffic receipts on the Great Luxembourg
Railway Company for the last week show an in- '
crease of £1,397 as compared with the correspond-
ing period last year, while the Metropolitan exhi-
bits an addition of only £262 for the like period.
At the meeting of the shareholders of the Bank
of London the proposals of the liquidators were
agreed to, and resolutions adopting the report of
the committee empowering them to carry out the
project were unanimously passed. An immediate
application will now be made to the Court of Chan-
cery to give effect to the proposed arrangements.
With regard to the tea trade Messrs. Layton and
Co., in their circular, state as follows :—Since our
report of 9th inst. the tea market has continued
without any material alteration, and the home de-
mand has not been sufficiently active to induce
general buying on the part of the trade ; exporters
have, however, operated rather more freely in the
common descriptions of blackish-leaf Congou,
which may be quoted firm at fully previous rates
to a shade advance. The recent arrivals have

afforded a very poor assortment, and it is

unlikely that the few vessels now afloat will bring
anything but third-crop qualities, so that the me-
dium and fine must be selected from parcels already
in warehouse, of which the former have to some ex-
tent been held back by importers. Prices for green
teas, especially the finest qualities, have been well

maintained. The small auctions of China tea, which
commenced on the 18th instant, were brought to a
conclusion the same day ; 8,822 packages passed, of
which 6,583 were sold, all without reserve. The
sales passed without any material alteration from
previous rates : common to fair blackish leaf Congou
brought 11/d. to ls. per lb.

chases on the part of investors has caused a more
