MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMEROIIu INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is in a very anomalous con-
dition, as there are plenty of lenders and compa-
ratively few borrowers. The rates are almost no-
minal. First-rate bills of three months date are
readily taken at 3 to 3f per cent., and the in-
quiri,.:3 at the Bank of England are consequently
Uni mpor taut.

At the Bank of England yesterday there were no
bullion operations.
The coupons of the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds
of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, due
on the 15th inst., are officially announced for pay-
ment.

The directors of John Crossley and Sons, Limited,
have issued a report recommending a dividend of
255• per share, which, with the interim dividend
paid in August last, is equal to 20 per cent. per
annum for the past year.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been more ani-
mation. Sugar has been in good demand, at en-
hanced prices, and a fair business has been reported
In coffee, at full values. Rice has been dull, and
only moderate transactions have been entered into
in tallow, at about previous quotations.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
are in active demand, and have advanced 2 to
50.52, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, 21,
to 40 40k.

The Wave of Life has arrived from Melbourne
with gold-dust and specie to the amount of £35,000.
The return from the Bank of England, com-
pleted to the 9th inst., is of a favourable character.
In the Other Securities there has been a decrease of
£1,065,525 ; the Reserve of Notes Shares a small
increase, viz., £5,620 ; while the bullion has also
been added to by £23,500. The Public Deposits,
consequent upon the distribution of the dividends,
have been diminished by £3,717,662, while there is
a corresponding increase in the private balances.
Subjoined are the particulars :
Public Deposits £4,444,468 Decrease £3,717,662
Other Deposits 23,049,592 increase... 2,457,362

Other Securities —. 21,750,978 Decrease... 1,065 525
Notes unemployed ... 10,147,875 Increase... 5,620
The amount of notes in circulation is £23,313,810,
being an increase of £26,965; and the stock of
bullion in both departments is £19,438,862, show-
ing an increase of £23,500 when compared with the
former return.
The return from the Bank of France for the past
week shows a decrease of £706,640 in the Bullion,
and an increase of £500,000 in the Bills discounted;
there is, however, an augmentation in the Notes of
£644,000.
