MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market continues to show symptoms
of increasing ease, although no further alteration
has been made in the rates at which the best bills
are negotiable. Short-dated bills are readily taken
at 74 and 71 per cent.
The directors of the Union Bank of Ireland have
declared a dividend of 10s. per share, free of
income tax.

The directors of the Midland Banking Company
have declared a dividend at the rate of six per
cent, per annum, free of income tax, for the past
half-year.
.The reports from the various manufacturing dis-
tricts for the past week represent that business
generally has been more animated. Cloths and
yarns at Manchester have been in fair request at
fully previous rates. In the woollen trade at Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield more animation has
prevailed, the chief demand having been for spring
fabrics. At Leicester and Nottingham there has
been an increased demand for lace and hosiery, while
increased activity has been imparted to the hard-
ware districts by the receipt of considerable export
orders from America.

Two O'CLOCK.

According to Reuter's telegram the French
Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted at 68f. 60c.
The English Stock Market opened with a very
dull appearance, and the Funds receded * per cent.
Subsequently, however, there has been a better
feeling, and Consols have returned to their former
quotations, viz., 861 87 for money, and 87 for
the account. The American news at first caused
a despondent feeling, but greater confidence
Was afterwards shown, and speculators were
desirous to view affairs in a more hopeful light.
