MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The money market continues to present further
indications of increasing ease. Capital is abundant,
and as the inquiry for accommodation is not large,
the commercial community can negotiate their bills
for short periods at 7i per cent.
A telegram has been received from Malta, dated
Jan. 12, 5.25 p.m., announcing the restoration of
the 11Ialta and Alexandria Telegraph line, which is
consequently reopened for messages to Egypt, India,
Australia, and other places in postal communica-
tion with Suez.
Gold to the amount of £5,000 was sent to the
Bank on Saturday.
The accounts from the various manufacturing
districts for the past week mention that in conse-
quence of the advance in the value of money the
operations iu most departments have not been very
extensive. At Manchester, however, both cloths
and yarns have maintained former rates, owing to
favourable advices from the East. The woollen
trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has
continued seasonably active, and a fair business has
been done in hosiery and lace goods at Leicester
and Nottingham. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and
Wolverhampton, a more cheerful tone has prevailed.
The report and balance-sheet of the Metropolitan
and Provincial Bank shows a net profit for the past
half year of £16,521, out of which the directors
Propose a dividend of 5 per cent., which will absorb
t8)192, to reduce the preliminary expenses £925,
to place to the reserve fund £2,500, and to carry
forward to the next account £4,903.
