Two olhoffi. In the Stock Exchange to-day the attention of the members is almost exclusively occupied with the monthly settlement in Consols, which show 'till a diminished supply of stock. In several eases the dealers have been found willing to borrow stock without " contango " up to the May settlement. The market is consequently firm in character, and prices are quoted about 1-16 per cont. higher than at 4 o'clock yesterday. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange business is almost suspended ; prices are nominally unchanged. The telegrams from the Paris Bourse of this day have not yet come to hand. Consols are very quiet, at 951 " sellers " for money, and 961 " buyers," for the sth of May. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 941 to ex div. ; the New Three per Cents., at 941 to 4 ex div. ; India Stock, at 220 ; India Bonds at 10a. preen ; Exchequer Bills, at 32a. to 36e. prem. ; and Exchequer Bands, at 1001. The foreign stock market is likewise quiet. The Old Turkish Six per Cents. are rather firmer, at '921 to 931. The New Loan remains quoted 781 to 791. Other foreign securities exhibit no alteration. Sales are recorded u follows:—Bruilian Old Five per Cents., for scot., 100, 1001 u div.; ditto Four and-a-Half per Cents., 18.52, 94; ditto Four-ande- Half per Cents., 1868, 941, 941; Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., for account, 801; Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 100; Mexican Three per Cents., 211 ; New Granada Three-ands-Half per Cent. Active Bonds, 191; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863, 461; Turkish Six per Cents., 1864, 921; ditto for account, 921, 93. Lord Derby has given notice that after the second reading of tU Indian Loan Bill in the House of Lords, he will move the suspension of the standing orders, so that the bill may receive the royal assent to-morrow. It appears from a parliamentary return just issued that the amount of Exchequer Bonds of series " B," dated May Bth, 1854, and redeemable on the Bth of next month, is 2,000,0001. In the diioonnt market yesterday considerable ac tivity prevailed, but good bills were readily taken at the Bank minimum. The applications at the Bank were rather numerous. The dividends will be payable to-morrow, and the bulk of the loans made during the shutti ng of the transfer-books fall repayable on the 12th and 13th. A telegram from St. Petersburg notifies the issue of an imperial decree authorising an issue of Foar per Cent. Bonds, to an amount not defined. It is believed that by this operation is contemplated the funding into a Four per Cent. debt of the deposits lodged in the banks, at 3 per cent. interest, and long ago employed by the government in various ways, including loans on security of estates, &c. It is presumed that the conversion will be a voluntary one, and that the in crease of 1 per cent. intermit indicates the induce ment held out. The object is of coarse to strengthen the general financial position of the state, and thus to pave the way to a restoration of the Russian cur rency. At home a funding is announced, in con junction with a foreign loan. Yesterday was the first day for transfers in the government securities upon which the dividends are about to fall due. The regular re-opening of the books for the Reduced Three per Cents. takes place on the 13th, and for the New Three per Cents. on the 19th. A further parcel of 48,0001 in gold, making a total of 300,0001 since the date of the last return, was yesterday withdrawn from the Bank for exporta tion. The government will send about 350,0001. in silver to Bombay by the steamer of the 12th instant. The purchases on private account for this vessel have not been very extensive, but fresh orders are expected during the next few days. The Bombay exchange is rather leas unfavourable. The financial advice' from Bombay prove less un favourable than was augured from the tenor of the telegrams. Government securities, though still heavy, were not quoted lower than by the previous mail. The directors of the Scinde Railway Company have made a final call of 31. upon the shares in the first issue of capital, and offer to the shareholders in the second issue the option of paying in anticipa tion the remaining 10!. per share up to the 28th inst. The Paris Presse states that the subscription for the 80,000 shares in the new Society of Commercial and Industrial Credit has exceeded 160,000 shares, irrespective of one subscription to the extent of 76,000 shares, which was rejected. The London and North 'Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,2471. ; the Great Northern an increase of 601. ; the Great Western a decrease of 8881.; and the London and South Western a decrease of 8141. At the quinquennial meet in g of the Alliance As surance Company held at the office yesterday a bonne of 16s. 6d. a share wu declared, making with the half year's dividend now due an aggregate sum of 11. 6s. a share—which is orderedfor payment on and after Monday next, the 11th inst. The dividend for the ensuing five years will be continued at the present rate of 17s. a share (or 71. 14s. 6d. per cent. on the 111, paid up), a sufficient sum having been reserved out of the profits ascertained and declared to provide that rate of dividend. The report of the directors of the City of London Life Aglttranol) Society, presented at the annual meeting held yesterday, congratulated the proprietors on a large accession of new business, "notwithstand ing the immense comoetition to which life assurance continues subjected." Daring the past year new policies have been completed representing 210,0341., and producing a premium income of 7,4801., being a larger amount of new businees than hubeen effected in any year since the establishment of the society. The accumulated funds of the society would have been very largely increased but for the recent addi tional purchase of the business of other companies, from which the directors anticipate satisfactory re sults. It is intimated that " the society being now established on a firm basis, the directors are devoting their earnest attention to economise the working ex penses of the office as far u possible, without im pairing its efficiency." The report adds that:— Important alter...Voce in the divisional shore of the ea• pital; powers fur increasing its amount; and other measures enabling the direetns to increase the sphere of the society's trausectioes, have been introiuced in a supplemental draft deed of settlem. nt, approved by the Joint-Stock Company's Regis' rat, which will be submitted to an estraordins7 mete. Ing of the proprietors, convened for the 13th April next. With this improvement in the constitution of the society, the directors are confident that the beat results will be secured. The Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Debentures of the East Indian Railway Company were quoted to 1,1 prem., and the new "F" shares to I prem. At a special meeting of the committee of the Stock Exchange yesterday, it was resolved to postpone the settling day in the Four-and-a-Half per Cent. De bentures of the East Indian Railway Company until farther notice. This course was deemed advisable tiwnhheceodatagreceutrenceudyeobefapniFresine appointed—viz., w n" — il r l v tai iz ba n :rei re or y v o f a o w il iu th g e n ag e B b t ;y o inst. The settlement will therefore stand over until the bonds are in order for issue, which may possibly be to-morrow after all, or at most some two or three days later.
