MONEY MARKET

A ND

OMEE(IL

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the discount market to-day there has been an
easier tone, but the alteration has not been more
than or 1-1 G per cent. in favour of the borrower.

A withdrawal of 20,000 sovereigns took place at
the Bank on Saturday.
The report of the directors of the Port Phillip
Gold Mining Company has been issued. A divi-
dend of 1 per share, free of income tax, is recom-
mended payable on the Ist February, 1867, and
forming, with the distribution of Is. per share
declared at the extraordinary general meeting held
.on the 31st July last, the ninth dividend at the rate
of 2s. per share, being 10 per cent. per annum on
the original capital.

The fourth annual drawing of 4 per cent, of the
Atlantic and Great Western Railway (Pennsylvania
Section), First Mortgage Bonds, took place on
Friday last, and the drawn bonds will be paid off
at par on the Ist April. •

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have declined f to 50 51 ; but the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds are steady at 37f 38 ex coupon.

In consequence of the receipt of telegraphic
advice of remittances from Bombay, the official
liquidator of the Commercial Bank Corporation of
India and the East will at once apply to the Court
of Chancery to be allowed to increase the proposed
first dividend from Cs. Bd. to 10s., as originally in-
tended.

Letters from the various manufacturing districts
represent that business during the past week in
most departments has remained very inactive. At
Manchester prices have been barely sustained
for both cloths and yarns. In the woollen
trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield
there has been a moderate enquiry for
spring goods, but the dealings have not been exten-
sive. A slight improvement may be reported in the
hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Not-
tingham, while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and
Northampton a better tone has prevailed upon the
Prospect of a satisfactory settlement of the present
dispute between the masters and operatives.

According to Reuter's telegram, this morning,
the French Rentes were 69f. 32c. Inanimate.
A decline of nearly I per cent. has taken place
to-day in the market for the English Funds, Coa-
sols now being 90k i for money and the account.
This retrograde movement is attributable to a few
sales on speculative account, and not to any change
ill monetary, commercial, or political prospects.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 894
90 ; ditto, 1885, 13 ; Exchequer Bills, 10s. prem.;

premium.

The great feature in the Foreign Market to-day
has been a rise of 1 in the Chiliau Loan, which is
now 4 4 premium. So numerous have been the
applications, that it is almost absurd even to at-
tempt an approximate estimate with regard to the
amount for which applications have been received.
The other Foreign Stock are little altered, except
Italian, which have declined to 541 1 ; Greek /
to 14 I ; but Mexican advanced to 171 181 ;
Spanish Passive 1 to 21/ 22 ; and the Certificates
to 14i ; while Turkish 5 per Cents. are firm at

Mained very quiet, and prices generally show in-
creased depression. North-Western have receded
; Great Eastern, 4 ; South-Eastern, k ; Great
Northern and North-Eastern (Berwick) each 1 ;

65; London and County at 67/ 68 ; London
Joint Stock at 441 ; and Union of London have
irnproved to 444 444.
