MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

To-day the Money Market presents a languid
appearance, the supplies on offer are small, and
the rates are greatly in favour of borrowers.

There were no gold operations of importance at
the Bank of England yesterday.
The official returns relating to the trade and
navigation of the United Kingdom for the six
months ended to 30th June have been published,
from which it appears that the total declared value
of the exports during that period have been
£87,613,484, against £92,857,830, compared with
the corresponding period of the previous year, and
Showing a decrease of £52,442,346. The decrease
is most perceptible in beer and ale, cotton manu-
factures, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and
cutlery, linen manufactures, iron and unwrought
steel, silk manufactures, and woollen and worsted
manufactures. There has been a slight increase in
Coals and Cuba cotton, yarn, earthenware, and
Porcelain, and linen yarn ; the importations
of the principal articles have been larger as
regards flax, palm oil, quicksilver, raw silk, pepper,
sheeps' and lambs' wool, coffee, corn, unrefined
sugar ; there is a diminution, however, in raw
cotton, Indian corn, flour, brandy, tea, tobacco, and
Wine. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in
the tonnage of vessels engaged in the foreign trade
of the country for both the entries inwards and the
clearance outwards, while the same result is observ-
able in the coasting trade in both instances.
The London and County Bank have announced
a dividend of 6 per cent., and a bonus of 5 per
cent., making 11 per cent. for the half-year to 30th
June last.

A. remittance has been received by Messrs. Baring,
Brothers, and Co., on account of the New Granada
dividends of £B4O from the Custom House of Car-
thagena.

The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of £902 lls. 4d. on the Debt of Ecaador.
Au important telegram has been received from
Madrid, viz., to the effect that the Spanish Govern-
Ment will not modify its arrangements for the
settlement of the Passive Debt. The bondholders,
therefore, had better accept the terms proposed at
the meeting last Friday.
At the meeting held to-day of the East London
sank, the directors recommended the payment of
a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. The state-
ment of accounts to the 30th June showed a net
balance of £9,504.
At the meeting to-day of the Australian Agricul-
tural Company it was stated that the excess of ex-
Peuditure on capital account had been reduced to
£1,355,,_ the cash balance on London was larger, and
the net revenue amounted to £21,319, being
Th79l in excess of that earned in 1865.
e general revenue on the 31st December
aelounted to £22,946, of which £7,500 was paid in
February,
leaving a balance of £15,446. A divi-
dend was proposed of 103. per share,lwhich leaves
°,446 undistributed. The dividend is payable on
'the 9th proximo.

ing for rebate on bills not yet due, amount to
120,145 Is. Bd., and that the usual dividend be de-
clared at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the
'all-year (£12,500), free of Income Tax, leaving
a balance of £B,BlO ls. 6d., to be carried forward
to the next account.
