MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market is daily assuming a firmer
appearance. Although the capital at the command
of the banking and discount houses is abundant,
and the inquiry for commercial purposes very
moderate, the brokers are unwilling to negotiate
business even in first-class paper under if per cent.
of the official minimum. Notwithstanding the
continued influx of gold into the Bank there is a
manifest want of confidence in discount circles with
regard to the future value of money.
The gold sent into the Bank of England yester-
day afternoon amounted to £28,000.
At an ordinary general meeting to-day of the
shareholders of the London Bank of Mexico and
South America the directors recommended the pay-
ment of a dividend of 15s. per share, being at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been very little
animation. Sugars generally have been at slightly
reduced prices ; while in tea, coffee, rice, and cocoa
the operations have been of quite a retail character,
at barely previous prices. Tallow has been dull,
and also at reduced quotations for both present and
forward delivery.
