LONE/ MARKET

AND

COI4MEROI INTELLIGENOt.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

It is expected that the impending settlement in
the Foreign Stock and Share departments will pro-
duce a little more activity in monetary circles to-
wards the close of the week, but at present there is
no perceptible change either in the demand or in the
tftinu upon which it is supplied. It is satisfactory
to notice the steady arrivals of gold and silver,
which will no doubt tend to keep the terms of dis-
count low, and assist in initiating the revival of
trade which all classes are naturally awaiting with
considerable interest.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days a firmer tone has prevailed.
Buyers have been in better request, and prices show
an upward tendency. The public sales of tea have
Continued to progress without animation. Rice,
°wing to the continued high rates demanded by
holders,
has only been dealt in to a limited extent,
while in
tallow a moderate business has been re-
corded, and quotations for both present and former
delivery are well maintained.
At the Bank of England yesterday there was an
influx of £34,000 in bar gold, and 8,000 sovereigns
front Malta.

The Delta, with the heavy portion of the Bombay
mails, has arrived at Southampton with £5,376 in
gold. The specie brought by the Atrato amounts
to £140,000, of which £52,000 is in gold and the
remainder in silver.
Some of the shareholders of Hindustan Bank
held a private meeting yesterday, with the intention
of making a demonstration at the general meeting
next Monday, for the purpose of obtaining, if pos-
sible, an alteration in the management of the esta-
blishment.

It is announced that the second drawing of the
Viceroy of Egypt's Mortgage Loan will take place
at the Anglo-Egyptian Bank on Tuesday, the 27th
instant.

At a meeting of the Trust and Agency Company
of Australasia a dividend, ad interim, was declared
at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum.
The Merchant Shipping Company have convened
au extraordinary general meeting for the purpose of
altering or amending some of the articles of asso-
ciation, to take into consideration the arrangements
proposed to be made in reference to the surrender
"11d forfeiture of shares, and to pass such resolu-
tions respecting the same as may be deemed de-
It is stated that the Hon. G. F. Verdon, treasurer
to the Victorian Government, has arranged to
return to Melbourne by the mail of the 26th inst.,
flaying most successfully accomplished his mission
to this country in connection with the Victorian
Loan, colonial defence, telegraphic communica-
tion, &c. •

No change has occurred in the discount market
since the morning, beyond a slight increase in the
tnIPPIY of particular classes of paper.

Two O'CLOCK.
According to Reuter's telegram this morning the
French Rentes were 69 25.
A large amount of business has been transacted
to-day in English Stocks in speculative account, as
yell as for bona fide transfer. Sales and purchases,
14 the part of time operators being very evenly
balanced prices, continue very strong. Consols are
89 for transfer, and 884 4, less the dividend, for
the 6th proximo. The next few months, it is
thought, will be characterised by a steady improve-
ment in enterprise of all kinds" and political pros-
Nets are regarded with confidence. The antici-
pated policy of the Government in railway matters
