MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market continues active, and the
rates of the brokers remain firm at 8f and 9 per
cent. for the best description of short-dated paper.
Opinion seems diverted as to the probability of a
reduction to-morrow in the official minimum. It

is thought that the usual quarterly payments will
diminish to a large extent the private balances, and
that the Gazette return will not be of the satisfac-
tory character many anticipate.
There were no gold operations at the Bank yes-
terday.

At the meeting held to-day of the shareholders of
the Imperial Ottoman Bank, the accounts presented
to the 31st December last showed a gross profit of
£297,439 for the year. The directors recommend
a dividend of 10s. per share, which will be equal to
10 per cent. per annum.
The directors of the Northern Assam Tea Com-
pany have declared a dividend at the rate of 10 per
cent. per annum for the six months ending the 30th
inst. on the A shares of the company, payable at
the London and County Bank on the Ist July.
It has been announced by the directors of the
Anglo-Austrian Bank that they will be prepared to
pay, on and after the 2d proximo, Coupon No. 1,
(hie on that day, at the rate of 3s. 6d. per share,
free of income-tax.

Two o'CLocic.
According to Reuter's telegrams this morning,
the French Rentes were 63f. 20c. Firm.
It is not at all remarkable to have witnessed in
the City this day a solid improvement in Govern-
ment Stocks, Foreign Bonds and all descriptions of
property pertaining, in the shape of investments, to
the interests of the country. The result of the Re-
form Bill debate seems to have formed a decided
success in every quarter. That there will be much
inconvenience cannot be denied, yet it has been
proved incontestably that, individually, both par-
ties show almost equal strength. Notwithstanding
the resignation, and its acceptance, the British
Funds are firmer ; even Foreign Funds have ad-
vanced despite the war, and shares, Financial and
Miscellaneous, are stronger in marketable value
than they were before her Majesty accepted the re-
signation of her immediate Ministers. Consols are
now 861 87 for money and 87 f for the account,
showing, as already stated, an improvement of 1
per cent. The New Threes were 861, and Reduced
Annuities 86 1 ; India 5 per Cents., 1038 ; and
ditto Bonds, ss. dis. to ss. prem.
Most descriptions of Foreign Stocks are at en-
hanced values. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 28 / ;
Mexican, 141 15 ; ditto New, 111 121 ; Greek, 101
118 ; Spanish Passive, 191 1 ; the Certificates, 141
15 ; Italian, 401 1; Brazilian Scrip, 3;dis. United
States 5-20 Bonds are 641 Erie Shares, 384 a ; and
Illinois, 731 41.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on a limited scale, and in some instances prices
have slightly given way. London, Chatham, and
Dover have declined 1 ; North-Eastern (Berwick),
; Great Eastern, s ; and North-Western and
Metropolitan each i ; while Great Northern have
advanced f.
The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit little
variation. South Austrian and Lombardo-Vene-
tian have advanced to 111 a ; Great Indian Penin-
sula declined to 1078 1.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in most
instances at steady rates. Alliance have improved
20fr 21; Hindustan, China, and Japan to 51 ; Im-
perial Ottoman to 71 8 ; London and County to 66
67 ; and Oriental Bank Corporation to 381 40 ;
Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England are marked
2 dis. ; General Credit, 11 did.; International
Financial at 11 dis. ; London Financial, 14 13 dis. ;
and National Discount Company, 7 7* prem.
