MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCB,

TWELVE O'CLOCK

The condition of the Money Market remains un-
altered. Supplies are not quite so abundant, and
the demand has rather increased. A continuance
of this state of affairs is expected until after the
payment of the dividends, when there will no doubt
be larger accounts at command, and by some it is
thought that a farther reduction of the Bank rate
will then probably take place.
At the Bank of England yesterday there was an
influx of £l,OOO from Paris.

The Giant's Causeway has arrived from Mel-
bourne with gold to the amount of £53,500.
A circular has been issued by the committee of
investigation of the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway stating that, since their appointment on
the sth March, they have devoted their earnest
attention to the financial position of the company,
but they find it will be impossible to present
any report until they have made fuller investigation.
They make an appeal to the holders of Divisional
Bonds to retain for the present their coupons
maturing on the Ist proximo, and their drawn
Bonds, payable at the same date ; active legal
proceedings have been instituted in America

with a view to the protection of the property.
With reference to the coupons on the Consolidated
Bonds the committee will make further communi-
cation when they have completed the necessary
arrangements, and in the meantime request the
bondholders to return their coupons.
The great failure of Overend, Gurney, and Co.
(Limited) still exercises much and injurious influence
upon the investing public. It is likely that the
liquidators will be able to bring the winding up to
a more satisfactory conclusion than was at one time
expected. This, and indeed every other fact, in con-
nection with the history and condition of the com-
pany is lucidly set forth in a pamphlet by Mr. W. H.
Wreford, of Old Broad-street, City. Moving in the
inner circle as it were of monetary affairs, and among
men of financial operations, Mr. Wreford had occa-
sion to watch the course of this company in its forty
weeks' career, and to make himself acquainted with
the various questions which have arisen before the
Courts of Law, and between the shareholders and
creditors, or at least that section of the shareholders
called the Defence Association. A complete view of the
whole case may be taken upon the pages of Mr.
Wreford's pamphlet,who has done good service to the
commercial and investing public by its publication.
It contains a report of the great meeting of credi-
tors, the most full and particular that has yet ap-
peared, which will be useful to the shareholders, as
well as the creditors, for future reference.
During the last few days there has been very little
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugar has remained at about previous
rates, while in tea scarcely any business has been
transacted. Rice, however, has been in better de-
mand, and owing to the short supplies in the hands
of importers prices have tended upwards. In tallow
the operations have only been to a moderate extent,
without, however, any material alteration in values.
