TWELVE o'CLocK.
The demand for discount accommodation to-day
has not been very active ; but as there appears to be
a diminution in the amount of capital afloat, the
brokers have generally asked higher rates for the
accommodation they have afforded. First-class
bills have not been negotiable in the open market
under 71 and 8 per cent., and those having only a
few days to run have not been so easily taken at
7i per cent. as was the case two or three days ago.
The twentieth report of the directors of the
Bank of London was this morning adopted at the
half-yearly meeting. The dividend declared was
10 per cent per annum, with a bonus of 12 10s. for
shares amounting together to 20 per cent. free of
income tax.

The half-yearly meeting of proprietors of the
London and Westminster Bank was held to-day.
The dividend settled was at the rate of 6 per cent.
Per annum out of profits, and a bonus of 14 per
cent. on the paid-up capital.
The prospectus for a new loan of £3,000,000,
bearing 7 per cent. interest, has been issued by
Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen for the Egyptian
Government. The bonds are to be £lOO each,
redeemable within eight years, at par, by annual
drawings. The price of issue is £92, payable by
instalments extending till Ist September. Arrange-
meats have been made for the regular transmission of
the requisite funds for the half-yearly interest and
for repayment of the capital to Messrs. Fruhling
and Goschen. The receipts and revenues of all
the Egyptian Government railways are appro-
priated and assigned for the punctual payment of
the capital and interests of these bonds, and the
Egyptian Government is directly liable in case of
any deficiency. The loan is required for the fur-
ther development of the existing railway system,
comprising the line from Alexandria to Suez,
which, by rapidly increasing home and transit
traffic, has become insufficient for the require-
ments both of passengers and goods. The brokers
are Messrs. P. Cazenove and Co., and Messrs.
Robins, Barber, and Dailey.
