lONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the Discount Market to-day there is still an
demand for accommodation, and full rates
have
to be paid for the negotiation of commercial
bills.

At the Bank of England yesterday there were no
gold operations of importance.
, This week the movement of the precious metals
have been on a rather limited scale. The imports
have represented about £361,863, chiefly from New
York and Australia ; while the exports hare been
• to the extent of £169,302, the greater portion of
which has been sent to the East Indies and the
Continent.
At a meeting of the directors of the Telegraph
Construction and Maintenance Company held yes-
terday, it was determined to recommend, at the
next general meeting of shareholders, a dividend ,at
the rate of 10 per cent.
The first steamer of the Panama, New Zealand,
and Australian Royal Mail Company, the Kaikoura,
left Plymouth on the Bth inst. for Sydney and New
Zealand ; the second, the Ruahine will sail on the
gist for the colonies. The Rakaia will sail for
Plymouth on the 15th April. The subsidy for the
line is £llO,OOO per annum.

Ley "lit speech at Detroit, General Sherman said :—" I
t "Poet again to command a military force. We are
0°- powerful, for our peace to be destroyed by a domestic

h 8 " let to be lightly
disturbed. (Applause.) Michigan
and certainly when backed up by Illinois,
to4„ja alone,na, and Wisconsin, could raise an army large enough
