MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGEN

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The discount demand at the Bank of England
and in the open market is rather limited, owing to
the inactivity of trade and the principal peiiodical
requirements of the commercial classes having been
provided for. The rates remain at 8f per cent. and
upwards for the best short-dated bills, and discus-
sion is now turning upon the question of a reduc-
tion in the official minimum to-morrow.
The gold taken into the bullion office of the
Bank of England yesterday amounted to £lB,OOO
in sovereigns, received from America and Lisbon.
There was also a withdrawal of £lO,OOO for the
Continent.
The Australian Joint Stock Bank have issued
proposals for an issue of 10,000 shares of £lO each
to meet the wishes of proprietors in England. They
are to be issued at a premium of £6 per share, which
will be carried to the reserve fund, and the allot-
ment will be made pro rata, on the 20th instant,
without distinction. Payment is required on or
before the Ist of August, which will entitle the
shareholders to a proportion of the dividend accru-
ing to the 31st December, 1866. The shares will
be registered in London, and the dividends will be
paid as soon as advices are received from Sydney
of the meetings, viz., in January and July.
