MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLocK.
A sum of gold amounting to £7,000 was taken
to the bullion office of the Bank of England yester-
day.

As usual on Saturday there has been a very
limited attendance in all departments of business in
the Ci'y to-day.
The inquiries in the discount market have been
very restricted, and there is no change whatever to
report, the supplies on hand being superabundant.
The directors of the English and American Bank
(Limited) have issued a circular announcing that a
requisition has been addressed to them for the
winding-up of the bank, and that a meeting will
accordingly be held on the question on the 16th
inst. The circumstance of a call of £5 being pro-
posed is the cause of the movement, but the direc-
tors consider a dissolution of the company would
be inexpedient, because the business thus far has
realised their expectations, and they are of opinion
that if the call be met they will be able to do an
extensive and remunerative business.
From Liverpool advices report continued depres-
sion in the cotton market, and the late decline iu
the price of the staple has largely increased the
losses of holders. With the continuous deprecia-
tion in every description it is not surprising that
failures still take place, or that the credit of the
locality is at a very low ebb. The reports received
to-day mention the difficulties of an establshment
through the late decline, and it is apprehended that
the liabilities will be extensive. At the same time
the assets will not be large.
The letters from Glasgow, referring to the failure
of Messrs. Peter Buchanan and Co., state that it is
believed there will be 20s. in the pound with a sur-
plus. The house was an old-established and highly-
respectable one, and till the last few months was
supposed to be wealthy. The principal debts, it is
feared, have been contracted in Manchester.
The directors of the Rio de Janeiro Gas Com-
pany (Limited) have decided to pay an ad interim
dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for
the half-year ended the 30th of June last.
The directors of the Port Philip and Colonial
Gold Mining Company have received the following
telegram from their resident director, Mr. Bland, at
Clunes, dated Suez, Oct. 4 August; 4,900 tons,
8 dvite• per ton ; remittances, £4,000."
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have advanced 1, to 25 27, and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds are steady, at 22 23.
The specie movements during the past week have
been moderately active. The imports have amounted
to about
£218,485, including £l,OOB from New
York by the Persia £7,208 by the Cimbria, and
£1,002 by the China. The Uurugay, from the
Brazils, has brought £llO,OOO, the Halley £51,000,
and the Seine £15,997. The Calabar, from the
West Coast of Africa, has arrived with £10,376,
and the
About Syria, from Alexandria, with £6,914.
£9,588 in gold has been received from Por-
tugal, and £5,400 in silver from the Continent.
The exports have been £13,816 to the East Indies
and China by the Tanjore, and £5OO to the West
Indies by the Rhone ; besides which there have been
remittances to the Continent through private sources
estimated at £98,787, the total amounting to I
Z 113,103.
