HONEY, MARKET

AND
COMMERCILL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
£B,OOO in gold was taken to the bank on Saturday
afternoon.

The Money Market is less active, and there is a
larger supply of money at the command of the
brokers, who appear desirous to negotiate business
on easier terms. The rates at present range from
61 per cent. for the best bills.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
last week are generally of a very satisfactory char-
acter. Cloths and yarns at Manchester have main-
tained firmer prices, with a good demand for expor-
tation. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford,
and Huddersfield, the operations have been to a
fair extent, chiefly in spring goods. The hosiery
and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have
also been seasonably active, while at Birmingham,
Sheffield, and Wolverhampton an improvement can
be reported in most of the principal branches of
business.

The directors of the Great Laxey Mining Com-
pany propose to pay a dividend of 10s. per share for
the past three months, which is at the rate of about
50 per cent. per annum.
The report of the Anglo-lonian Steam Company
recommends a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent.
per annum.
