COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Stock Exchange being closed, there has been
a very limited attendance in the usual commercial
circles ; and scarcely any business of importance
has been entered into. No change can be reported
in the current rates of discount.
A further sum of £67,000 was taken to the Bank
of England yesterday. The silver brought by the
West Indian packet has been sold at 60s. Oid.,
showing no alteration. A small amount of Mexican
dollars has been sold for China at 595. Old. per
ounce, being an advance of 1.
A first dividend of 3s. in the pound will be pay-
able to-morrow to the creditors of the New Zealand
Banking Corporation (Limited). The bills of ex-
change remitted by Mr. Evans, the official liquida-
tor at Dunedin, it is stated, only arrived at maturity
on Monday last, and every facility has been afforded
by the chief clerk to the Master of the Rolls to

enable the dividend to be paid at this early date.

The report of the Fore-street Warehouse Com-
pany recommends a dividend at the rate of 10 per
Cent. per annum, leaving £9,117 to be carried for-
ward. It also proposes an issue of debentures for
£120,000 to Mr. Morrison in lieu of that amount
payable to him.

A meeting will be held on Thursday next of
Spanish Certificate holders to consider the proposals
of the Government for the settlement of their claims,
and on the following day a meeting will take place
of the holders of Passive Bonds.

The traffic receipts on the East Indian Railway
for the week ending the 26th May amounted to
£38,256 17s. 2d., against £30,197 in the corre-
sponding week of 1866, showing an increase of
£8,059 17s. 2d.
The report to be presented at the forthcoming
meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of Egypt
states that the net profits, after providing for rebate
of bills not yet due, amount to £20,145 Is. Bd.
This, added to £6,164195. 10d., the balance brought
forward from the previous half year, makes a total
of £26,310 ls. 6d. available for appropriation. The
directors recommend that £5,000 be carried to the
reserve fund, which will then amount to £50,000 ;
and that the usual dividend be declared at the rate
of 10 per cent. per annum for the half year
(£12,500), free of income-tax, leaving a balance of
£B,BlO ls. 6d. to be carried forward to the next
account. The dividend will be payable on Aug. 6.
The specie movements during the past week have
been of an extensive character as regards the im-
ports, which have decreased to about £995,640,
including £73,000 from New York in the Palmyra,
£4,000 by the Teutonia, £288,350 by the Russia,
£105,800 by the Fulton, £150,000 by the City of
Baltimore, and £22,000 by the New York. The
Christiana Thomson, from Sydney, has brought
£11,844 ; the Wellesley, from Port Phillip, £90,000 ;
the Tasmania, from the West Indies and Pacific,
£194,966; the Ottoman, from the West Coast of
Africa, £4,830 ; and about £14,850 in silver has
been received from the Continent. The exports
have been £2OO to the West Indies by the Rhone,
and there have been remittances to the Continent
through private sources estimated at £188,733, the
total amounting to £188,933.
The following has been received by the chair-
main of the committee of Spanish Certificate-
holders :

" Spanish Legation, London.
" The Spanish Minister presents his compliments to Mr.
Robertson, and begs to forward him copy of a telegram
lust received from her Catholic Majesty's Minister of
Finance:—

" ' (Translation.)
" The Minister of Finance to the Minister Plenipotentiary

of Spain.
