recovered. A few sales to realise profits and to

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
More activity has been apparent in the Dis-
count Market this morning, arising principally, it
is believed, from the settlement now in progress
at the Stock Exchange. The capital on offer,
however, is abundant, and the rates for the best
commercial paper are and 74 per cent.
An amount of £20,000 in gold was taken from
the Bank yesterday for Alexandria.
At the meeting of shareholders of the City Bank,
held this day, the statement of accounts submitted
showed a gross profit for the past six months of
£65,072, enabling the directort to declare a divi-
dend of 6 per cent., and a bonus of 30s. per share,
to carry forward £12,525 rebate of interest on bills
not yet due, leaving £4,709 for appropriation at the
close of the financial year.
During the last few days there has been very
little business transacted in the markets for Foreign
and Colonial Produce. Operations in tea have
been postponed until the public sales, which- com-
mence this day. Sugar has been on only moderate
request, while superior descriptions of coffee have
maintained former rates. Rice has been dull, and-
rather cheaper, while only limited dealings have
taken place in tallow, at rates in favour of pur-
chasers, for both present and forward delivery.
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Imperial
Bank the report presented stated that the profits
amount to £38,874, which paying the current ex-
penses, making provision for bad and doubtful
debts, allowing rebate of interest on bills discounted
not yet due, there remains a disposable balance of
£23,272. Out of this amount the directors propose
to pay a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 8
per cent. per annum, free of Income-tax ; to write
off the balance of the preliminary expenses; to
transfer £2,712 to the reserve fund, which will then
stand at £57,000 ; and carry forward £1,560 to
credit of profit and loss new account.
