TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A vezy steady demand for money is reported in
the general discount market, and owing to the easy
terms for all good classes of paper the inquiries at
the Bank continue moderate. The state of the ex-
change, the arrivals of gold, and the comparatively
few exports of the precious metals, are not only ex-
ercising at the present moment a favourable in-
fluence upon the money market, but in the various
departments of the Stock Exchange likewise values
of most kinds being well upheld, especially those of
the British Funds.
The malls from Sauth America via Bordeaux

States has not been accepted, and the American

linisters at Ascension, as well as at Buenos Ayres
and Rio de Janeiro. have protested against the
reasons of the Allies for not accepting the proffered
intervention. This diplomatic eclaircissement was

of at the Exchange of Buenos Ayres,
a:LI caused much depression in the public securities,
Ach underwent a fall, as all hopes of peace
are now dispelled, and it is feared that the rejection
..e_f the mediation will lead to furtherpolitical troubles.
Whatalso acted very much against the national bonds
was the refusal of the Bank to make advances
on theca. The market was very weak, and as the
triliblving of the allied army to the Loreto is suscep-
tible of, many interpretations the public sold largely,
e"`4 tne last quotations in liquidation were 57 per
cent. The revolution in the interior is still kept

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the past week there has been a moderate
amount of business entered into. Sugars have re-
mained inactive, but prices show no change of im-
portance. The operations on tea have been post-
poned until the public sales of China, which com-
mence to-day ; for coffee there has been a moderate
inquiry at steady prices. Rice has been neglected,
late rates being with difficulty naaintained. In tallow there has been rather more animation, the
dealings have been chiefly of a speculative cha-
racter, and quotations have not varied to any im-
portant extent.
At the meeting of the London and Provincial
Turkish Bath Company, held to-day, the following
tualf-yearly rep
v` g ort of the directors was submitted to
he :—"Meetin The directors have great satisfac-
,ton in reporting to the shareholders that the past
half-year has been the most profitable the Com-
Pail has ever had. The comparison with the cor-
responding period of last year shows an increase of
'venue of £212 17s. 4d. The cafe and hotel show
Zan increase of £B6 18s. 4d. In the bath receipts
4,ere has been a slight falling off, attributable to
e exceptional inclemency and prolongation of
atntoe winter, accompanied as it was by frequent snow
rtna• This falling off is more than compensated
by the reduction of the working expenses. That
there is no
decrease in the habit of bathing is proved
t°l the fact that on one day last month there was
: largest number of visitors to the bath that has
then known since the formation of the company,
number amounting to 247 ; and the directors
'
aLrec, take occasion to call attention to the excellent
a Aline of the slaampooers, who having unexpectedly
double amount of labour thrown upon them,
neverthelesseau performed their duties in a perfectly
gr:fta,et°rY manner, although this was attended by
" latigue and exhaustion to themselves. The
eight directors beg to propose a dividend at the rate of
£B7l Per cent. per annum, amounting ,to
Will.2d.
