COMMERCIRL INTELLITMOZ,

TWELVE o'CLocK.
With a continued abundance of floating capital
at the command of discounters and bankers, and a
comparatively small number of bills on offer, the
money market is showing further symptoms of easi-
ness. Now that the commercial engagements duo
at the end of the month have, with a few trivial ex-
eeptions,
been liquidated, the demand for accom-
modation is slight, and the public are holding over
as much as possible their bills till after the Bank
Court on Thursday next. The rates for the best
short-dated paper are very easy, ranging from 3f
Per cent. On the Stock Exchange loans are in very
Moderate request at 2 and 21 per cent.
,! Tile Stock Exchange markets this morning gene-
rally present a steady appearance, and most descrip-
tions of foreign bonds and shares, including
American, are at improved prices. The funds, how-
ever, are rather weak, and Consols have receded
per cent., to 89/ t- for money, and to 89i I for the
account.

_ At the bullion office of the Bank of England, on
Saturday afternoon, the influx of gold amounted to
4,000.

30th June last.
The directors of the Great Indian Peninsula Rail-
way Company in their report just issued recommend
tile payment of the following dividends free of in-
come tax, for the six months ending 30th June lass,
at the rate of ss. for every £lOO of capital
stock, of 9d. per share on which £l6 is paid, 3d. per
share with £6 paid, and Id. per share with £2 paid.
The payment is announced of the coupons on the
certificates of debentures of the Atlantic and Great

The general business of the Port of London last
week continued moderately active. At the Custom
'louse 266 vessels were reported as having arrived
from foreign ports, and there were two from Ire-
land. The entries outwards comprised 113 vessels,
and those cleared were 111, of which 14 were dis-
patched in ballast. The departures for the Austra-
lian colonies have been six vessels, viz., three to
Sydney, two to New Zealand, and 1 to Hobart
wn with an aggregate tonnage of 4,721.
The reports from the various manufacturing dis-
tr) eta for the past week are generally of an unsatis-
Ibaetory character. At Manchester heaviness has
een apparent in most departments, and prices of
both Cloths
and
yarns have declined, manufac-
turers and spinners having partially suspended
_perations, and operatives are only working about
sour days a week. At Leeds, Bradford, and Hud-
tersneld there has been a very limited business en-
red into, but spring fabrics are in demand. The
''',°'lery and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham
ave remained very quiet, while at Birmingham,
Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, an uneasy tone has
l
preva• ied in most departments.
'wile Shannon, steamer, has arrived from the

aailoa the Corn Market to-day there was a moderate
inat..llllt of business entered into, and prices in most
