It is gratifying to the directors to le in a position to state that the business at the several brioches continues to make steady and satisfactory program, as intimated in the lut report, a trench was opened at Cbarleyille in February last, and the anticipations e the directors regarding its success have been fully reoleed.

The pest sail which the company had to complain of was the monopoly of the circulation of bank notes; and the very parties who had abused the right of circulation were those to whom rime it was entrusted. It was monstrous that a company Ike that should not be able to none a single note. Even the issue of bank post bills—a branch of operations which had bees very snouseful—bed been interfered with by a rival establishment, which discovered that% wasprobibited be set 1 of parliament ; but a deportation headed by Sire. O'Loghleo waited on the Chaacellor of the Exchequer on the subject, acid the result was that a bill was passing through Fiala* meat, with the sanction of the right boa. gentleman, to authorise the issuing of bank poet bills by that company.

The Caantwax, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, eaid that was the fourth half yearly meeting of the company, and he bad great satidactioa in stating that the bank bad been regularly and steadily progressing ; and, taking into account the character of the business due. he had no doubt that its progress would continue. The high rate of interest of the last half-year could not be expected to continue, but the accounts were constantly increasing it number. He believed that the proposed increase of capital would prove very advantageous. In putting forward the new issue of shares at 20 prem., the object of the board was to make a large addition to the reserve fund, and thus give increased confidence to the public. That fund was now augmented out of last half-year's profits to an amount equal to that divided among the shareholders. The opinion of the public in favour of limited liability was strongly marked in the case of that bank, and they might take pride to them selves in comparing their own bank with the old banks which were not based on that principle. The Manchester branch wu most promising. (Cheers.) The directors were now seventeen in number, but they were not too numerous for the duties to be performed with the 1 extendoo of business. (Cheers.) tabs rata :f r rrpe r&& per ant, been nt!per annum ptd, and um declared, a at the rote a discussion ensued with regard to the remuneration of the directors, which ended in the unanimous adoption of &resolution fixing it at 5,C30/. per annum. The proceedings terminated with votes of thanks to the board and the managers. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. KA RIE-LAITZ.—(THD3 DAY.) To-day's market was rather scaetily supplied with home grown wheat, but the quality of the samples was remark. ably good. Although the cutting of wheat has been com menced in the forward districts, factors were firm in their demands. The 'Jade, however, was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency. There was &full average Ripply of foreign wheat on offer. Selected samples commanded full quotations, with a fair seta In all other kinds very little business was peening on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain realised very fall prices, m pe daily barley. Grinding . barley supported Monday's advance in the quo tations. Other deemptions moved off slowly at late cur remiss. Malt, the supply of which was seasonably good, supported former terms. The trade, however, was far from active. There wee a fair, though not to my active, inquiry for oats at full quotati on.. Beans were the turn dearer, owing to the small supply on offer. The inquiry for peas wu somewhat active, at very full prices. Both English and foreign dour realised quite Mon day's quotations.

Two o'Cloow. The stook markets today are heavy, the pro- specta of the money market being regarded unf a vow-ably. The funds have fallen 5 to 1 per cent. Home railway stocks are likewise generally lower. As regards the speculative foreign stocks, the reduction does not exceed to} per cent. The drooping tendency of prices, how ever, extends to every department of the Stock Exchange. There is a good demand for money to-day, at 6 per cent. Owing to the unfavourable character of the Bank return, and the probability of further witbdrawalsof gold, it is thought that the minimum rate may possibly soon be raised. In the Stock Exchange there is a smaller supply of money, and the rate for short loans on English government securities is 6 per cent. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentee opened at 66fr. 15c., being sc. lower than yesterday. Cpnaols are now quoted 905 to 5 for money, and 901 to 1 for the account (August 9). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.

The Lady Ann has arrived from Melbourne with 16,0001. in gold. With reference to the stoppage of the East of Eng land Bank, announced on Wednesday, it is notified that the Provincial BankingCorporatiou have taken over the business of the former, and have com menced operations at Norwich and the various branehea. It is also intimated that the Provincial Banking Corporation have arranged to place to the credit of each customer half the amount due to him by the East of England Bank. The following is a copy of the circular which has been sent to the shareholders of the Provincial Banking Corporation : 23, Poultry, London, July ZL Sir.—Yon will probably have been informed by the public prints that the board bag entered into an weeniest for 'parches, of the bosses+ of the East of England Bank, which was established in 1836, sad has nine branches and three 'agencies, besides a large business at Norwich. On the treaty foe the ynrchase it became appareet that though the bank was doing • large and profitable business (the deposits ammonia% to no leas than COO,OOO/.) the bask bee coffered great losses from very long continued railway spe culaticioa. Under these circumateaces, in the agreeoi,nt for purchase of the goodwill and hosiers premises, the directors of this bank omationsly abstained from bias iu any way mixed up with the liabilities of the Eset of England ' Bank. By far the larger portion of the sum payable toe the goodwill is dependent upon the actual results of the working of the business for the first twelve months. Owing to the public announcements of the fact that the shareholders of the East of England Bank will have to be called upon to make up the deficieeey, the board have thought it right to intimate thus much to their proprietors, in order that they may feel well assured that is so important • transaction this bank has incurred so risk whatever ; and that the result most prove highly beneficial to the Provincial Banking Corporation (Limited).—l have the hewer, lea , ROBERT TROTTER, Gees& Manager. The North Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,675/. over last year ; the Midland an increase of 5,9141. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire an increase of 2,480!. ; and the Lancashire and Yorkshire an increase of 7,0701.

We learn that the directors of the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company (Limited) have received from the provincial government of Canterbury, New Zealand, au offer to undertake the payment of the stipulated subsidy for the mail service between Wellington and Panama in the event of the contract entered into in December last by the Hon. Croebie Ward, as Postmaster-Generalof the colony, not being ratified by the oolouial parliament, to whom the matter will be referred at the next session. A special meeting of the Kent Coast Railway Company is called for the 4th August, " for the purpose of the creation and issue, in pursuance of ithe Kent Coast Railway Act, 1884,' of the addl. tional ordinary capital thereby authorised, and for authorising the borrowing, on mortgage of the undertaking of the company, the amount autho rised by the said act."

Out of this amount the board have resolved to recommend a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, clear of income-tax. end to tarry over to the next balf•yesr the balsam., viz., 1,857/.175. 91., with the view to equalis ing the dividends. The renewal end repairs to the furniture dare( the past half•year have amounted to 4071. 15.. 9,1., i which sum has been charged to the reserve fund. The directors congratulate the shareholders on the satisfactory iscreare in the revenue of the company, sod they now ex. press the hope that, as the Weems develops itself, a per manent dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum will be maintained in each half•yeer.

It is understood that a deed of arrangement has been carried out in the case of Messrs. Lawrence and Fry, timber merchants, who recently suspended payment. No creditor can therefore obtain a preference or make the partners bankrupts. It is still hoped that the firm will erelong be is &politica to resume business and pay 20s. in the pound, through the sale of several important contracts.

The decrease in the coin and bullion, amounting to 529,1551/. is to be attributed chiefly to internal causes, including the demand in connexion with the payment of the divdends, and with agri cultural purposes. The heavy decline, amounting t 0 1674,071&, in the privatedeposits, though partly counteracted hytbe reduction of 1,086,4241. iu the private securities, has resulted in a decrease of 652,7211. in the reserve. The gexeral tendency of the Bank accounts points rather to higher than lower rates for money. BANK OF ENGLAND.—An A and Etb Vic c. S 2, for the week 'boa. Mr?
