MQNEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

Two O'CLOCK.
A. rather larger amount of business has been
transacted to-day in the market for Stocks and
Shares. Sales have preponderated for the purpose
of realising profits after the late advance, and
Consols have in consequence reached to the extent
of / per cent., the latest prices being 874 I for
money, and 84 for the March settlement. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities are quoted
847/ ; Exchequer Bills, 7s. 3s. dis. ; Bank Stock,
India 5 per Cents., 1021 4 ; do. 4 per Cent.
Debentures, 98* ; and do. Bonds, 15s. prem.
In the Foreign Department there has been a
full average of business, but there has been a little
depression, as will be seen by the following latest
quotations :—Turkish 5 per Cents. are 384 ;
Mexican, 221 ; ditto New, 201 ; Greek, 14 ;
Spanish Passive, 27 4 ; Certificates, 15/ 16 ; Italian,
601 61; the Confederate Loan, 5 7; Brazilian Scrip,
1 24 prem. ; and Egyptian Scrip, 14 prem. ;
"hilted States Government 5-20 Bonds are 68 ;
Erie Shares, 53 I ; and Illinois, 76 /.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been moderately active, but prices in one or two
instances have shown less firmness. Great Eastern,
Great Western, and Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln, have each receded 10s. ; and Midland, 15s.
In the Foreign and Colonial lines, Grand Trunk
of Canada have declined to 454.
The dealings iu American Securities have been
on a very limited scale. Erie shares have receded
to 5341 ; Illinois shares to 76i ; and United
States 5-20 Bonds, to 78 if.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally are in
moderate request, without material change in prices.

A report will be presented at the ordinary gene-
ral
,meeting of the Oriental Commercial Bank
showing that the profits for the six months ending
the 31st December last, after payment of all
Charges, salaries, remuneration to directors, &c., are
£19,627 13s. 2d., being equal to 23 per cent. per
annum on the amount of paid-up capital ranking
for dividend. The directors now declare an in-
terim dividend for the past six months at the rate
of 10 per cent. per annum, clear of income tax,
which will absorb £8,500, leaving a balance of
£11,127 13s. 2d. to be carried forward for appro-
priation at the end of the financial year in June
next.
