NONEYMARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

The money market presents an active and rather
stringent appearance, and the best short-dated
paper cannot now be negotiated under 6 per cent.
But even this charge is merely temporary, as the
brokers have invariably made an agreement that if
the Bank rate be advanced to-morrow, a propor-
tionate rate shall be enforced.
Gold to the amount of £50,000 was taken from
the Bank of England yesterday.
The Anglo-Egyptian Bank have announced an
interim dividend of 10s. per share, being at the rate
of 8 per cent. per annum for the past half year, and
have also made a call of £7 lOs per share, payable
ln two instalments, viz., £4 on the 31st instant,
and £3 10s. on the 15th June next.
The appointment of Mr. Coleman, of Messrs.
Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., and of Mrf
Banner, of Messrs. Harmeod, Banner, and Co., o
Liverpool, has been confirmed by the meeting of
shareholders of Barned's Banking Company.
The directors of the Otago and Southland In-
vestment Company recommend, in their report for
Presentation at the ensuing meeting of shareholders,
a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, in
addition to the interim dividend of 8 per cent. de-
clared last July.

Two O'CLOCK.
The value of British Government Stocks con-
tinues to decline ; nor can any astonishment be ex-
Pressed at the retrograde movement. The market
daily receives additional supplies, and there are
many reasons to account for the sales effected.
Firstly the unsatisfactory results of the division on
the Reform Bill ; secondly, the state of foreign
politics ; thirdly, the consequent extraordinary de-
pression of the Paris Bourse ; and fourthly, the ex-
tent of confidence everywhere exhibited, except with
regard to trade, which is tolerably healthy, but
which without these drawback would be far snore
. Prosperous than it is at the present moment.
