COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE o'CLocg.

„ .
The money market is assuming a firmer aspect,
as the time for the liquidation of commercial bills
approaches. The tendency of the specie movement
Is also inducing caution on the part of brokers, and
the general quotation rate for first class bills is now
equal to the Bank rate. In exceptional instances
short-dated paper has been taken at 5 per cent.
Au amount representing £llO,OOO in gold was
taken from the bank on Saturday.
At the second ordinary general meeting to-day
of the shareholders of the International Contract
Company, the report of the directors repeated the
erl3lanation they submitted in the last report of
their meeting for limiting the dividends to 10 per
Cent

The official returns relating to the trade and
navigation of the United Kingdom for the three
months ending March 31 has been published ; from
these it appears that the total declared value of the
exports for that period have amounted to £46,991,165
against £35,635,707 in the corresponding period of
rO, and showing an increase of £11,355,458. The
increase was most perceptible in coals, culm, cotton
yarns, cotton manufactures, earthenware, haber-
dashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen
Yarn, linen manufactures, and woollen and worsted
articles manufactures. The importations of the principal
have been larger as regards raw cotton, flax,
petroleum, raw silk, tallow, sheep and lambs' wool,
'wheat, Indian corn, flour, rum, brandy, unrefined
sugar, tea, and wine, but smaller as regards
hemp, guano, provisions, coffee, fruit, and tobacco.
The shipping accounts exhibit a slight decline in the
amountt of tonnage employed in the foreign trade
,tiring the same period for the entries inwards, but
there is an increase in the clearances outwards, while
ill the coasting trade the same results are generally
apparent.
