COMMEROUL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There has been a steady demand to-day for dis-
count accommodation owing to the payments of
the 4th ; it is satisfactory to be enabled to announce
that the engagements at maturity have been easily
arranged.
e have heard it rumoured that the negotiation
going on last week between a London banking firm
and a representative of the Argentine Government,
for the remittance of a million sterling to that
Government, has fallen through, but new ones are
said to have been commenced this morning on the
lifts received from the River Plate by the Oneida.
aAt the bullion office of the Bank of England on
aCurday there were no gold operations of import-
e.

rn A meeting of the shareholders o/ the London
T
Company was held to-day, when an ad-
journment took place unt;l the 25th inst., for the
purpose of mal;ng up:some accounts.des;red.by the
Meeting.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the past week state that there has been in some
instances a slight improvement. At Leeds, Brad-
ford,
and Huddersfield rather more inquiry has pre-
vailed for spring goods ; while at Manchester there
% been a moderate demand for cloths and yarns
for home requirements. In the hosiery and lace
departments of Leicester and Nottingham there has
been little change of importance ; while in the hard-
Ware districta of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol-
verhampton a more cheerful tone has prevailed,
owing to a better demand from several foreign
Merchants and the smallness of stocks in the hands
of home dealers.
Notice has been given that the Bank of New Zea-
land will receive tenders for £300,000 of the Can-
terbury Government 6 per cent. loan. The bonds

now to be allotted is the second portion of the loan,
£879,000 having already been issued. The tenders
Will be received up to 1 o'clock of the 12th instant.

Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company the report
of the directors was adopted, and the dividend de-
clared at the rate of 12 per cent, for the half
and, with the interim dividend already paid, equalyea,
