AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market presents symptoms of activity,
Ind of a hardening tendency in the rates. The in-
quiry is rather large, which is principally due to
numerous engagements connected with the Indian
trade being
t due to-day. First class bills are nego-
eiable at 8i per cent., but this quotation is only for
exceptional cases. The withdrawal of a large
amount of gold yesterday from the Bank of Eng-
land and the adverse tendency of the Continental
exchanges operate prejudicially, and bankers are
again manifesting increased caution.
At the Bank of England yesterday £203,000
was withdrawn for Paris and the sum of £23,000
was received, chiefly in so ereigns.
Mr. Henry Croysdill has been appointed pro-
Limit visional official liquidator of the Ottoman Company,
d.
The annual meeting was held to-day of the
onion Bank of London, Mr. P. Northall Laurie in
the chair. The report presented stated that the
directors have much satisfaction in reporting that
the net profits of the Bank for the six months end-
ing 30th June last, after payment of all charges
(including the sum of £174,760 13s. 10d. for
interest paid and due to customers on their cur-
rent and deposit accounts), and making full
provision for all bad and doubtful debts,
are £179,224 3s. 6d., which, with £50,659 13s.
3d. brought forward from 31st December last,
amount to £229,883 16s. 9d. The directors now
declare a dividend at the rate of 15 per cent. ter
annum, and a bonus of 5 per cent. on the paid-up
capital, being, with the dividend and bonus paid in
January last, 22i per annum for the past 12 months,
clear of income tax. After payment of the dividend
and bonus, amounting together to £150,000, there
will remain an unappropriated balance of £79,883
16s. 9d. to be carried forward to profit and loss new
account.

Two O'CLOCK.
The Stock Exchange Markets have exhibited an
unfavourable appearance, and prices for all descrip-
tions have mostly receded. The decline is chiefly
°Wing to the continued prosecution of the war on
the continent, and the adverse tendency of the
foreign exchange. The English Funds have been
very depressed, and Consols are 874 1 for money,
a°4 871 for August. The New Threes and Re-
