ZIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

To-day there has been a scarcity of commercial
bills for negotiation, and the Discount Market
closes very languidly. Money is as abundant as
ever, and it may be hoped that remunerative chan-
nels may be opened for its employment.
fhe Telegraph to India Company have issued
their report for the: past half-year, which recom-
mended the payment of a dividend at the rate of 5
per cent. free of income-tax.

The traffic receipts of the Ottoman Railway
Company for the week ending 6th January
amounted to £1,063 against £853 in the previous
Year, and for the week ending 13th January £943
against £679 in the corresponding week in 1866.
The East India Railway Company's traffic re-
ceipts for the week ending Dec. 16th last upon
.1,1291 miles open were £43,376 ; in the correspond-
I 1 Period in the previous year upon 1,129 miles
Open they were £37,765.
During the past week the movements of the
Precious metals have been on a rather limited
scale. The imports, which have only amounted to
about £83,218, have included £6,000 from New
York by the City of New York; £1,500 by the City
of Cork ; and £37,000 by the Bremen. The George
Thompson, from Australia, has brought £19,500 ;
the Tanjore, from Alexandria, £2,294 ; and £16,924
M gold has been received from Portugal. The ex-
ports have been £3,400 to Bombay, by the Poonah
£73,600 in gold has been sent to the Brazils ;
£15,000 in silver to Jamaica; and there have been
remittances to the Continent through private
sources, estimated at £189,986, the whole amount-
ing to £281,986.
The sum of £9,000 in sovereigns was taken from
the Bank of England yesterday for Brazils.
Notice has been given that the half-yearly general
meeting of the Credit Foncier of England will be
held on Monday, the 18th inst., at Exeter Hall,
Strand.
The Stock Exchange Committee to-day ordered
the scrip and paid-up scrip of the Chilian Six per
Cent. Sterling Government Loan to be quoted in
the official list.

There is very little animation exhibited in the
silk market just at the present time, partly owing
to large arrivals. Japan descriptions have been
particularly depressed, and in the absence of busi-
ness Bengal qualities are at almost nominal quota-
tions. The next public sales are appointed to com-
mence on the 20th inst.

The traffic receipts on the Scinde Railway in the
Week ending December 9th, the last for which re-
turns have been received, amounted to £3,137,
being £9l in excess of the highest amount realised
in any previous week since the opening of the line.
It is believed that when the returns for 1866 are
completed they will show an improvement in the
receipts as compared with those of the previous year
of upwards of 15 per cent.
Foreign Stocks have in some instances been a
Shade firmer, particularly Mexican, which have ad-
lanced +, to 18k. Greek Bonds have also risen
40 14 14+ ; Spanish Certificates to 15 15k; and
the Russian Loan Scrip k, to 2f prem. ; while
the Italian Loan of 1861 have declined to 54k ;
and Turkish 5 per Cents. k, to 3f

13ends have declinedf, to 721 I ; Erie Shares remain
at 39i 40-1. ; and Illinois Shares at 80i 81.

In the Railway Share Market there has been
a fair amount of business entered into, and prices
