IYIONEY MARKET

CO7zIII.V.EttOrAL tNTELLIO,BYCR,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the general discount market there continues to
be a fair inquiry for accommodation, and the rates
current remain at 1 2 per cont.
The Panama has arrived from the West Indies
with about £35,000 ; the Guienne, from Brazil, has
also arrived at St. Nazaire, but the amount of specie
is not yet known.
..Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have risen to 22 23, and the Consolidated Mort-
gage Bonds are steady at 18i 193.
The New llonduras Loan is steady, at 11 to
prom.
At the meeting to-day of the Bombay Gas Com-
pany an interim dividend was proposed at the rate
of 5 per cent.
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
received this morning state that during the past
week inactivity has prevailed in most departments
of trade. Cloths and yarns at Manchester have
further declined. Spinners and manufacturers, how-
ever, do not press sales. In the woollen trade of
Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, there has been
little change of importance, and quietness has pr,2-
'railed in all departments. The hosiery and lace
trades of Leicester and Nottingham, however, have
been more animated, while in the hardware dis-
tricts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhamp-
ton there has been a seasonable inquiry for articles
suitable for home requirements at this period of the
Year.

Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co. have given notice
that the Coupons of the Chilian Seven per Cent.
Loan 1866 (£1,120,920), due Ist proximo, and the
bonds drawn for redemption, also the Coupons of
the Chilian Six per Cent, Loan 1867 (£2,000,000),
Ist January, 1868, will be paid at their offices on
and after Ist January next.
Messrs. J. H. Schroder and Co., of Leadenhall-
street, have announced the half-yearly interest due
On the New Orleans, Jackson, and Great Northern
Railroad First Mortgage Construction Bonds, pay-
able in sterling in London on and after Ist January
next.

At the meeting held to-day of the Indian Tram-
Way Company (Limited) the report of directors
stated that, while showing the grounds for deferring
the extension of the line for the present, the Go••
/ernment look forward to its future construe-
tiOn, and have granted, in the meantime,
"ividend of three per cent. upon the capi-
tal of £lOO,OOO, to commence on let January next.
the directors have made arrangements, to take
effect from the same date, to diminish all the ox-
Peuses at home and abroad to a minimum, by which
means they hope that the net profits, which have been
I,Rratlually, increasing since the lino was opened in
4lay, 1865, may contribute to relieve the Go-
/erinnent in part from the payment under
the
guarantee. The directors propose to have
le accounts made up to the end of the present
year, to coincide with the date of the commence-
ment of the 3 per cent. guarantee, and to pay the
that
interest at 3 per cent. per annum to
'eat date, from the 31st December, 1865 (up to
Which they last received interest), in stock, the net
fe/entle having been all expended upon
e lino and works. The capital account, after
vaYinent of all charges and liabilities, including the
above, will amount to £lOO,OOO, while the balance
°'c revenue account, after supplying a sum to make
°P the foregoing payments of interest, &c., will
amount to £1,314 145., whi.ch will be carried to a
reserve fund to provide against accidents, fires, and
u‘tier contingencies.

At this morning's cora market there was a mo-
