of one and a half per cent. from this day's quotations. The closing price to-day being 954 to 4, the quotation ex. die. would be 94 to Exchequer Bills have been firmly held, and, notwith standing the demand for tuouey, the premium upon them has advanced from 2s. to 55., at which we last quoted it, to sa. to sa. Railway Shares are, upon the whole, about one per cent. better than last Friday. The market, though occasionally irregular, has been well maintained, though business has been restricted by an impression that these securities have attained about their maximum value in relation to the present price of money. French lines have received a considerable rise, and a large demand has arisen for some other descriptions which have the benefit of a Government guarantee. In the Foreign Market nothing of importance has occurred, except a further moderate rise in the Turkish Six per Cents. The new Joint-stock Banks have this week regained favour, and they have been in demand, particularly the shares of the Bank of Egypt and Ottoman Bank. Both have advanced to a moderate premium ; but the latter partially lost it to-day. Unity shares, so long de pressed (by recent circumstances, are gradually imlrov ing, and the same may be said of Western of London. The older banks have been in some request for invest. ment, as it is stated their dividends for the current half year will be quite equal to those of the last. Miscellaneous and Mining Shares, though good, have presented no features to call for special notice. The dividend to be declared to-monow at the meeting of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company is to be at the rate of seven per cent. per annum, with a bonus of 11. per paid up share, and 4.' per new share. A payment will also be declared of 30s. pee share, and of 6s. per new share, out of a balance of 49,2481. standing to the credit of the proprietors' underwriting account. The Trade Reports of the week are better than those of last week. In Manchester the accounts from India and China have given an impulse to business; but we still hear a good deal of the necessity of reduced production in order to set it right. 1172 BANE OF ENGLAND.
