AND

COILIMERCIL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

enced in discount circles to-day, aid the rates are
at present without the slightest variation.

Securities are in limited request at last week's quo-
tations.

The M‘Gregor Laird has arrived from the West
Coast of Africa with £15,000.

The directors of the Otago and Southland Invest-
ment Company have intimated that the accounts
for the half-year ending the 31st July have been
dilly audited, and that they have declared an interim

of income tax, payable on the 12th instant.
On Saturday the Master of the Rolls made an
order for the continued winding-up of the General
Estates Company, Limited, under the supervision
of the Court, the chairman of the company, and

and Co, were appointed liquidators.
In the 'port of London last week less animation
has been apparent. At the Custom-house 179
vessels have been announced as having arrived from
foreign
ports, and there were 2 from inland. The
entries outwards comprised 109 vessels, of which 21
were despatched in ballast. The departures for the
Australian colonies have been 7 vessels ; viz., 1 to
Australia, 2 to New Zealand, 1 to Port Phillip, 2 to
Sydney, and 1 to Hobart Town, with an aggregate
tonnage of 6,400.
There was an improvement to-day in the price of
Port Phillip Mining shares, owing to the great in-
crease that has taken place, according to despatches
just received, in the yield of gold per ton, and the
consequent large remittance likely to arrive by the
next mail from Chines. The mine also shows an
increase of " yield in depth."
From the manufacturing districts the accounts
for the past week are generally of an unsatisfac-
tory character. Business at Manchester has con-
tinued very quiet, with a further downward ten-
dency in the prices of cloths and yarns. The woollen
trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has
remained inactive, while in the hosiery and lace de-
partments of Leicester and Nottingham no improve-
ment can be reported in the demand for fancy
goods. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-
hampton little change has taken place, business in
most departments having been exceedingly de-
pressed.

Two o'CLocK.

The Money Market for to-day is closing very
quietly,
although a little more activity has been
experienced since the earlier hours of business.

Telegrams from Southampton announce the
arrival of the mail steamer Atrato from the West
Indies and the Pacific, but the amount of specie on
board has not yet been announced.
In the Corn Market to-day Ow was only a
moderate attendance, but business continued mode-
rately active, and an advance of Is. per quarter
took place on home-grown wheat. Foreign was.
also in good demand, at a similar advance. Barley,
Oats, beans, and peas were without alteration. In
dour the operations have been to a fair extent, and
late quotations are fully maintained.
More activity and buoyancy have prevailed to-
day in the market for the Funds, and also in the
other
departments of the House. In the morning
Consols advanced 1, but, owing to a few sales in
realisation of profits, a variation has ensued ; they
are therefore still 894 1 for transfer, and 884 1
ex dividend for the account. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities have been dealt in at 871 1;
'R'lchequer Bills, at 3s. to 4s. ; Indian 5 per Cents.,

been apparent, and prices generally are a shade
higher. Great Eastern, London, Chatham, and
Dover, North Western, and South-Eastern have
each improved 4 ; Great Western, 1, and Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, each, 1 ; while
Great Northern have declined 1.
In the Miscellaneous Market there has been very
little animation, and prices exhibit few varations.
Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cent. have improved to
861 ; Anglo-Americanyrelegraph to 141 ; and
National Discount Co., to 141 1. Credit Foncier
cf England are firm at 3+ 1. Atlantic and
