TWELVE O'CLO CI.
The Money Market continues quiet, and there
is a perceptible falling off of capital at the command
of brokers and others. The inquiry, however, is
moderate, and the quotations remain at 7i, and 71
per cent. for the best short-dated paper.
The accounts from the various manufacturing
districts for the past week hare not been of quite
so favourable a character. Cloths and yarns at
Manchester have slightly declined in value, while
less activity has prevailed in the woollen districts of
Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield. The hosiery
and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham, how-
ever, have remained seasonably active, while most
departments of business at Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton have continued moderately
busy.

The annual meeting of the London Tavern Com-
pany was held to-day, at which a dividend at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum, together
.with a
bonus of Is. per share, both free of income tax, was
declared.
At the second ordinary general meeting to-day
of the shareholders of the Provincial Banking Cor-
poration a dividend was declared at the rate of 5
Per cent. annum.
At the half-yearly meeting of shareholders of the
General Credit and Finance Co. held to-day, the
directors recommended that an additional dividend
of 10s. per share, free of income tax, be declared,
amounting to £125,000, and making with the 2s.
Paid in August a total dividend of £150,000 for the
Year, or at the rate of 15 per cent. on the paid-up
Capital of Z 1,000,000.
At the half yearly meeting of the Telegraph to
India Company, held to-day, the directors reported
the due payment by the lessees of the Egyptian
liine of £1,250 for the year ending 31st December,
'865, out of which they recommend that a dividend
be paid at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum free of
income-tax.

With a reluctance to transact business in the
shares of new companies, after the indifferent re-
ports issued, more attention is paid to the English
Funds and other Government Securities. Investors
are making their appearance in the market, and
compared with the latest price of Saturday, per
cent• has been added to the value of Consols, the
present quotations being 864 871 for transfer, and
„871 for March settlement. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 861 87 ; Exchequer Bills,
78• to 2s. dis. ; Bank Stock, 247; India Stock, 2101 ;
and ditto 5 per Cents, 1021 1.

United States 5-20 Bonds are 6 7i ; Erie Shares,
634 8 ; and Illinois, 75i 1.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
more animated, and several of the principal lines
are at enhanced rates. Lancashire and Yorkshire
and Metropolitan have each improved 55., and Great
Eastern and North Western each 15s. Midland,
Great Western, and South Eastern fully sustain
former rates.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are in moderate
request, and show little change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are buoyant.
