IZO:NEY MARKET

AND
COAIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE o'CLocK.
There is little business in progress in the Money
Market, as usual on a Saturday. The comparatively
few bills, however, brought forward for negotiation
are charged full prices, although the brokers have
an abundance of money lying unproductive. The
continued adverse tendency of the Foreign Ex-
changes leads to the supposition that a large quan-
tity of gold will be required next week for the
continent.

_ There were no gold operations at the Bank of
England yesterday afternoon.
It has been telegraphed that the Birmingham
Banking Company have suspended payment. It,
had three-fourths of all the accounts of the greatest
of the trading community of this district. To say
hat is to give some idea of the frightful results
which must ensue from this calamity. The amount
ot the deposits is about £BOO,OOO. Probably the
total liabilities are over £2,000,000. The number
of shareholders exceeds 800. The company was
established in • 1829 ; its paid-up capital at this
moment is a little short of £280,000. Contingent
depreciations and reserve fund at the last report, in
February, £200,000.
The directors of the Imperial Bank have issued
their eighth report to be presented to the share-
holders on the 17th instant. The balance-sheet
shows that the profits for the past• six months
amount to £44,865, and after defraying . the
current expenses making provision for bad
bills
doubtful debts allowing rebate on
nills discounted not yet due—an available
balance of £25,559 remains, which the directors
Propose to appropriate as follows :—To the pay-
Mont of a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per
annum, free of income tax, £18,000; to raising the
reserve fund to £60,000 by the addition of £3,000,
and carrying to profit and loss new account, £4,559.
Ata meeting yesterday of the Langton Old Bank,
which stopped payment on the 4th, inst., it was
stated that the liabilities are £84,104, with assets
amounting only to £39,753, and that there has been
an over-issue of notes of £12,000.

Two o'CLocK.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Reuter's telegram, the French Rentes were 68f. 50c.
In the Money Market as well as the Stock Exchange
there has been no change of importance. The rates
are firm, and the prices of Governmental securities
exhibit very little variation. Consols have closed at
871 + for money, and 871 -I for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 86+ I ; do.
2i Per Cents., 69 ; and India 5 per CeEs. at 103+.
The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market
have not been very extensive, but prices generally
are a shade firmer. Turkish 5 per Ceuts. have
improved 1, to 261 ; Mexican Stock I, to 15i f ;
Greek Bonds 1, to 11 12 ; and Italian Loan, 1861,
18, to 534 ; Spanish Passive, however, have de-
clined I, to 191 ; and the Brazilian Loan Scrip
to 4 3i, dis.
in the Railway Share Market the operations
have been on a very restricted scale, and in some
Instances prices show a downward movement. Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover and Metropolitan have
each receded 10s., and Great Northern £1; while
North-Western,
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,
INnrth-Western, and Great Eastern have each im-
proved ss.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
Very quiet, and the only change to report has been
an advance of / on South Austrian and Lombardo-
Venetian to 14/ 151.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE OFF BATTERSEA.—

A youth named Philip Boyd went to the rescue, but was
seized by the other boy, and both were drowned.
