CONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

In the bunion department of the Bank there was
a withdrawal of £106,000 yesterday afternoon for
the Continent.
The Imperial Mercantile Credit Association have
notified that they are having a complete audit of
the accounts by their auditors, Messrs. Coleman,
Turquand, Young, and Co., in conjunction with
Alessrs. Quiller, Ball, and Co., and that their re-
port to the shareholders will be made in a few days.
This Irocedure has been deemed necessary in con-
lequence of various rumours respecting the position
of the company. The Committee of the Stock
E nge have appointed Thursday, the 3rd of
4Jay, a special settling day in the shares of the Lon-
den, Windsor, and Greenwich Hotel Company
(Limited), which are not to be marked.
According to Reuter's telegram this morning the
French Rentes were 65f. 75c. Firm attention
absorbed in the settlement.
A close holiday is being observed in the Stock
Exchange, which as usual on the first of May, is
abut for the purpose of enabling the authorities in
the transfer office of the Bank of England to strike
the half-yearly balances.
The money market continues to present symp-
toms of activity, and the brokers are consequently
asking full terms for the negotiation of the best
Short dated paper. Owing to this firmness in the
ratest good inquiry for accommodation prevails at
the Bank of England, but there has been no pres-
sure anywhere. On the Stock Exchange the charge
for daily loans on Government securities has been
advanced to 5i per cent.
