MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
No alteration has been made in the rate of dis-
count at the Bank of England, nor was any ex-
pected. The change which affairs have undergone
during the past few days has dispelled all hope of
any immediate relaxation in discount circles. In ad-
dition to the rather active demand for money for
trading purposes the public will have to provide for
the numerous calls there are being made by the same
financial companies who have sustained considerable
losses through unfortunate operations. The shares
°f many of these associations, which were quoted
the other day at a high premium, are now either
about par or at a discount. The quotations for money
therefore remain firm, and 7.1 per cent. is generally
the lowest rate at which the brokers will take first-
class bills.

The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
t° this day, are in round figures as under:—

These returns, when compared with those of the
corresponding period of last year, are generally of
satisfactory character. On the Great 'Western
there is an increase of £3,097; on the North Western,
11'8,905 ; South 'Western, £2,225 ; Brighton, £3,151 ;
Northern,
£3,122 ; South Eastern, £2,210 ; Great

£4,019 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £2,413;
Great Eastern, £659 ; and London, Chatham, and
Dover, £1,342.
At a meeting of the London and County Bank,
1464 this day, a dividend of 6 per cent., with a
bonus
of 6i per cent., was declared, making 121
Per cent. for the half-year, which will amount to
a 593,737 3s. 3d. ; this, added to the August divi-
dend, will be 271 per cent. for the year, and leave
'14,527 18s. 10d. to be carried forward to profit
and loss new account.
