aged woman of dissipated appearance, was charged under
the following circumstances.

Mr. Brown—They must take them for mere mischief, for

MONEY iIARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Advices received this morning from the principal
manufacturing districts report that during the
Past week there has been little improvement to notice
in the general prospect of trade. At Manchester
business in all departments has remained very inac-
tive, and owing to the fall in the value of cotton
quotations for cloths and yarns have given way. The
wool trade of Leeds,Bradford, and Huddersfield has
been very quiet, and few operations have been re-
ported in spring fabrics. At Leicester and Notting-
ham there has been little alteration in hosiery and
lace trades, while at Birmingham there has been in-
creased dulness in most branches of business. In
the iron trade of Wolverhampton and its immediate
neighbourhood, however, there has been a more
hopeful feeling, and the future prospects of the
trade are considered to be very encouraging.
An issue of 4,000,000 florins (£339,0J0) 4} per
cent. obligations of the Dutch Indian Railway Com-
pany has been announced by Messrs. Horstman and
Co. and Mr. J. Gerstenberg. The amount is 4,000
obligations of 1,000 florins (£B4 155.) each. The
Price of issue is £75 Bs. 6d., payable by easy instal-
ments spreading from the date of allotment to the
15th of July. Payments in full may be effected
under discount at 4} per cent. on either of the
days on which an instalment falls due. The obliga-
tions will be redeemed by annual drawings at par
within 33 years from the year 1872, according to
the arranged plan of amortisation, or earlier at the
option of the company, and payable, at the option
of the holder, in London or Amsterdam. The first
coupon will be payable on the 15th of July next
It is calculated they will yield about 5} per cent
Per annum.

TWELVE o'CLocx.
There is no alteration to notice in the state of the
money market ; it has opened for the week, as it
closed on Saturday, very quietly, both as regards
supply and demand.
Gold to the amount of £15,000 in sovereigns was
withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday for trans-
mission to Egypt.
At an adjourned meeting of the shareholders of
the Loudon Tavern Co►np;tny, held to-day, the
report of the directors propsed a dividend at the
rate of 10 per cent. for the half-year ended the 31st
December.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have further advanced to 31 33, and the Consoli-
dated Mortgage Bonds k, to 24k 25k.
The directors of Reuter's Telegram Company
have issued their report for twelve months, ending
the 31st of December, 1866. It states that the net
profits after payment of current expenses, and after
deducting rebate on unexpired subscriptions, and
writing off £2OO from the preliminary expenses,
amount to £9,451 7s. 11d., including £1,574 Gs. 11d.
brought forward from the last account. As the
additional capital issued for carrying out the
Hanoverian concessions has hitherto been unpro-
ductive, while at the same time the shareholders of
the first and second issues are equally entitled to
participate in the entire profits of the business, it has
been thought right to merge into the general ac-
count the sum set apart last year as the basis of a
reserve fund. The total amount available for dis-
tribution will thus be £11,451 7s. 11d., from which
the directors declare a dividend at the rate of 10
per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, upon the
total amount of capital called up, which will ab-
sorb £10,282 Bs. 10d., leaving £1,168 19s. ld. to
be carried
.forward. The continued difficulty in
finding capital on credit for even the most remune-
rative undertakings will render another call of £5
per share on the second issue of shares necessary
at an earlier period in order to enable the company
to meet its engagements connected with the Hanover
cable.
