DIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL EkITELLIGENCh

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market continues active, and the
rates are firm. There is less capital afloat and more
demand for it, and the brokers are consequently
asking higher rates. The general quotation for
first-class short dated paper is about 71 per cent.
The continued adverse condition of the Continental
and Eastern exchanges has completely changed the
complexion of affairs, and there is now little expec-
tation of any immediate concession in the rate of
discount at the Bank of England.
£150,000 in bar gold was withdrawn from the
Bank of England yesterday afternoon.
The fifth ordinary general meeting of the share-
holders of the Joint Stock Discount Company was
hold to-day. The report presented stated that
owing to the embarrassment of a firm engaged in
railway contracts, whose securities this company
holds to a considerable extent, the directors, although
large profits have been realized during the past half-
year, do not consider it desirable to declare a divi-
dend, and after the most earnest consideration they
have found it advisable, in the interest of the share-
holders, to make a call of £5 per share. The
amount at credit of profit and loss (inclusive of
£6,573 4s. 7d. brought forward from last account)
18 £64,690 14s. 7d. After deducting the rebate of
interest on bills not due calculated at 7 per cent. per
annum, and the current expenses, a balance of
£26,169 Is. 10d. remains.
