MONEYMARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There continues to be a fair demand for accom-
modation in the general discount market, and the
rates remain firm at 3 per cent., with exceptional
transactions in superior paper at a shade under.
On Saturday there was a withdrawal £3,000 in
gold from the Bank of England.
The Deutchland, from New York, has brought
about £37,000 in specie ; and the Syria, from
Alexandria, about £4,500.
In the Corn Market to-day there was a rather
large attendance, and a good demand prevailed for
home-grown wheat at fully last Monday's quota-
tions. Foreign wheat, owing to limited supplies
en hand and the prospect of short arrivals for the
mxt three months, has been in more request, at an
advance of 2s. per quarter. About 90,000 quarters
have changed hands during the week, and about
100,000 quarters are on passage shipping and to be
shipped up to July next.
'rho accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the past week show that business iu several de-
partments bas been more animated. At Man-
chester considerable excitement has prevailed in the
cotton market, and spinners and manufacturers
demand enhanced rates for cloths and yarns.
In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and
Huddersfield there has been little change of
Importance, but a better inquiry has prevailed for
autumn and winter goods. The hosiery and lace
trades of Leicester and Nottingham have been sea-
sonably active ; but in the hardware districts of
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolirerhampton, there
has been little change of importance.

Atlantic and Great Western_ Railway Debentures
have declined k, to 31 32 ; but the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds remain steady at 21 22.

A report has been issued by the Trust and Agency
Company of Australasia, in which they recommend
the payment, free of income tax, of a dividend for
the half year ending Dec. 31, 1866, of ls. per share,
being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum ; also a
bonus of 2s. per share, making a total distribution
for the year 1866 of 4s. per share, equal to 20 per
cent. on the capital called up.
If the contemplated arrangements are carried out
his Majesty the King of the Belgians has to-day
inaugurated the commencement of the operations
of the Belgian Public Works Company. This
event is invested with considerable interest, the
project involving an outlay of £3,000,000.

day, the French Rentes were 68f. 35c. Heavy.

and Brighton and Metropolitan, each 1 ; while

and Baroda at 1014, and Scinde at 1001.
