MONEY MARKET

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENOk.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The commercial classes are busily providing them-
selves with the accommodation required for the bills
falling due on the 4th, and the Money Market is
therefore very active. The supplies of floating
capital are plentiful, but the quotations of the
brokers are firm at 4-1 per cent. for the best bills.
The directors of the National Bank of India
have issued a report for the half-year ending 30th
June presented to the meeting of shareholders at
Calcutta 29th August. A dividend at the rate of
6 per cent. per anaum is recommended, leaving a
balance of 7,726r5. to be carried over, after increas-
ing the reserve fund by an addition of 52,000r5.
At the Bank of England yesterday there was a
further influx of £122,000, of which £1.08,000 was
in bars, and £14,000 in sovereigns.
From the accounts published by the Board of
Trade, it appears that the imports of raw cotton
during the past eight months have been largely in
excess of those in the corresponding periods of 1864
and 1865. Subjoined are the particulars:— 1864,
4,670,000 cwts. ; 1865, 4,561,040 cwts. ; and 1866,
8,809,601 cwts.

In Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during
the last few days there has been an absence of
animation. Only a small quantity has changed
hands, at about previous rates. For coffee the de-
mand has been limited, and prices have slightly
given way. Rice has also been in less request, and
at reduced prices ; while tallow has remained very
inactive, at about previous quotations for both pre-
sent and forward delivery.

Two o'CLocK.

At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's
telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dealt in at
69f. 22c.-:—Heavy.
t In the English Stock Market there have been
numerous dealings, but prices show no material
variation. The Funds have been firmly supported
at former values, and Consols are 891 1 for money,

steady at 65 67 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage
Bonds at 46 47.

In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been been on a very moderate scale. Prices, how-

London, Chatham, and Dover, and Great Northern,
each declined 10s. ; and South Eastern, 15s.
