MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There has been rather more inquiry in the general
discount market, and as the supplies on offer are
not quite so abundant the rates charged for the
negotiation of first-class short-dated paper range
from 21 to 3 per cent.
At the Bank of England yesterday there was an
influx of £23,000, and 7,000 sovereigns from Paris.
The Wimmera has brought about £30,000 in
gold from Melbourne.
A circular has been issued by the Great Western
Railway of Canada, stating that the directors have
decided on recommending a dividend for the half-
year ended Ist January last at the rate of 3f per
cent., free of income tax.

The Anglo-Italian Bank, as bankers, to the
Land COmpany (Limited), notify that the
half-yearly interest due on the Italian State Domain
5 per Cent. Loan, 1865, on the Ist of April, and
also the drawn Bonds (series C) will be paid at the
office of the above bank ou and after that date.

The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Monday, the Ist April, a special settling
day in the scrip of the .United Danubian Princi-
palities Eight per Cent. Loan ; the quotation " to
be marked."

A suspension of some of the .small local banks is
mentioned in the Natal papers. The Commercial
and Agricultural Bank (Limited) has liabilities
£45,000 and assets about £116,000, of which about
£20,000 are doubtful. The Colonial Bank of Natal
(Limited) has, it appears, £30,000 liabilities and
assets of £BO,OOO, but how far these latter may be
convertible remains to be seen. Other local esta-
blishments were also in difficulties; for instance, the
Marine Insurance Company of Natal, and the Natal
Fire Insurance and Trust Company.

The liquidators of the London, Italian, and Adria-
tic Steam Navigation Company (Limited), after
paying off, in the month of January last, the whole
of the mortgage debenture debt, with interest, have
declared a dividend of 10s. in the pound on the re-
maining general debts of the company, payable on
Saturday, the 30th inst., or any succeeding Satur-
day, between eleven and one o'clock, at the offices,
123, Fenchurch-street, London.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben-
tures remain steady at 32i 33k, and the Consoli-
dated Mortgage Bonds at 24 24k. _

At a meeting held to-day of the Home and Colo-
nial Assurance Company (Limited), the report,
recommending a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent.,
was adopted. The other resolutions of the directors
were also carried, £1,600 voted to the board, and
100 guineas to the, auditors.
