NONEY-MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England directors have held their
Weekly court, and have notified that no alteration
has been made in their rate of discount. Notwith-
standing this decision it is generally considered
likely that the reserves of the establishment have
been largely strengthened, and that further facilities
must soon be offered the commercial classes. The
rate in the open market for the best short-dated
paper is 6i per cent.

At the second ordinary general meeting of the
shareholders of the East India Land, Credit, and
Finance Company, held to-day, a dividend of Bs.
per share, free of income tax, was declared.

The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this date, are in round figures as under:—

Great Western ...
North Western ...
South Western

These returns, when compared with the corres-
ponding period of last year, show in most instances
a very satisfactory result. On the Great Western
there is an increase of £1,529, on the North Western
of £5,227, on the South Western of £2,151, on the
Brighton of £1,257, on the Midland of £2,177, on
the South Eastern of £1,237, on the Great North-
ern of £l7, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of
£5,343, on the Bri§tol and Exeter of £175, on the
Manchester, Sheffield, and London of £2,307, and
on the London, Chatham, and Dover of £1,204.

Two O'CLOCK.
The anxiety felt respecting the Joint-Stock Dis-
count Company continues to absorb very general
attention. A circular has been issued by the direc-
tors intimating their intention of convening an
extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, and
recommending the voluntary winding-up of the
company. The shares have been dealt in to-
day at 10 discount, and as £lO has been
Paid up, there is consequently not a margin
of profit left to proprietors who are desirous of
being rid of the security. The English Funds show
Weakness, and also all other stocks in sympathy
. with the depreciation in share property. Consols
861 for money, and 87/ 4 for the account. The
New Threes are 85 and Reduced Annuities, 844
851 ; Exchequer Bills, 6s. to 3s. dis. ; Bank of Eng-
land Stock, 251; and India 5 per Cents., 1024
There is little animation in the Foreign Stock
Market, and quotations tend downwards. Turkish

New, 20 1 ; Greek, 151 16 ; Spanish Passive, 27/ 1 ;

rate Loan, 61 71 ; Brazilian Scrip, 14 2 prem. ;

Chilian Loan, 21 / prem. United States Govern-
ment 5-20 Bonds are 704 4 ; Erie Shares, 53f 54 ;
and Illinois, 77f 78.
In the railway share market there has been
/cry little animation, and in some instances prices
are a shade flatter. Great Western, Midland, and
South-Eastern have each declined 55., and Great
Northern A Stock £l, while Brighton and North-
Western have each improved 10s.
The Foreign and. Colonial lines are also flat.
