as the Indian Exchanges are still against us, consequently the export of silver will not be diminished. The packet of the 20th is expected to take out more than 1,000,000/. But our stock will be kept up by a consider able arrival due from South America to•morrow, and by others due from Australia, amounting iu value to 5€40,0001., which may come in any day. We do not therefore antici pate any present diminution in the supply, although the state of the silver market, in conjunction with the Indian demand, may cause some important movements during the next two or three weeks. A good deal of fluctuation has taken place in English Securities since our last; they are all lower—some to a serious amount. The Funds have been less affected than various descriptions of railway shares, notwithstanding the reports which prevailed respecting our Indian loan ; still they declined more than one per cent., but yesterday there was a decided recovery, which was continued to day. They have for the greater part of the week been at a price which more or less is sure to bring in the public as purchasers. Consols, which finally left off last Friday at 901, under went a daily decline up to yesterday, when the Indian news became known. On Wednesday evening they left o ff at 901, and yesterday morning, before the regular hours of business, transactions were entered into at 891 to #, the lowest quotation of the year. Afterwards, however, a better construction was put upon the Indian intelligence ; for, though Delhi is not taken, the mutineers have been checked, and confidence is felt in the fidelity of the Bom bay and Madras armies and in the conduct of the popula tion. The statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to Indian finance also supported the disposi tion to improvement. Under these circumstances an advance had been established at the official close to 90f to 1, and after regular hours the quotation was 901 to #. Today there was a further improvement, the quotations at the official close being 904 to 91. After regular hours there was a sudden rise to 911 to 1. The chief feature in the railway market during the week his been a fall of nearly six per cent. in Great Western Railway stock in consequence of the reduced dividend of one per cent. per annum. The stock left off last night at 524 heavy, after having been dealt in at 511. Today it closed at 524 to 1. Sheffield stock is two and a half per cent. lower. Mast other descriptions have also been lower ; but yesterday they rallied, and left off without much change from the prices of this da•y week. To-day there was a general improvement of about one half per cent. In the Foreign Market very little has been done. Turkish Stocks have improved about one per cent. Joint-stock Bank, Mining, and Miscellaneous Shares have all been without much animation. The dividend of the Ottoman Bank for the half•year is to be at the rate of eight per cent. per annum, with a balance of 15,0001. to form the basis of a reserved fund. The dividend of the Bank of Egypt is to be at the rate of six per cent. per annum. At a meeting of the English and Australian Copper Company the reports of the directors and the committee of conference were adopted, and a dividend declared of 2s. fid. per share. The accounts showed a deficiency of 116,5801. The directors consequently declined to take the initiative in declaring the dividend; but it was moved and seconded by two private ahareholdeis. According to the report of Mr. Coleman, the accountant, the debts of the firm of Messrs. Can., Brothers, and Co., of Newcastle, amount to 7011,0001., but that the assets will yield 20s. in the pound provided the collieries are carried on. This , no doubt, will be done. . _ The South Eastern and Continental Steam Company have announced the payment of ls. 10d. per share to com plete their liquidation. The company's vessels were sold to the railway, and the result of the winding up has been that the shareholders have received 121. ls. 10d. for each 0/. share. A loss of 774/. has resulted out of the operations of the Iron Screw Collier Company during the half-year ending June 30; and in consequence the propriety of winding up the undertaking was discussed at the meeting of the share holders on Monday. Eventually it was agreed that the subject should be considered at the next half-yearly meeting. The Trade Reports of the week show no increase of animation.
