The following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday :
The traffic returns this week are much less favourable
than of late, owing to the severity of the weather.
Yesterday several stocks closed to 4 per cent. lower,
owing to the apprehension of a decline in the traffic
from the disturbance in the American trade.
This has been settling-day in the English funds, but
the market has been generally steady. The demand for
discount at the Bank was moderate. In the Stock
Exchange 5 to 5, per cent. is paid for short loans, and
6 per cent. for longer periods. In the Paris discount
market money is freely offered at terms below those of
the Bank of France. About 80,000 sovereigns were
taken from the Bank, of which 50,000 are for Canada,
and the balance for New York.—Times' City Article.
The closing quotations of the funds were scarcely
equal to those of yesterday. In refraining from raising
the rate of discount further the Bank directors are pro-
bably actuated by a wish to avoid exciting unnecessary
uneasiness. Should the American advices next week
indicate a prolongation of the present drain the rate can
be raised on any day. The demand at the discount
office at the Bank continues more active than is usual so
soon after the payment of the dividends. This is owing
to the circnmstance that many other establishments are
by no means anxionoto do business at present, and that
the rates, apart from exceptional instances, are not
generally below 7 per cent.—Daily Hews' City Article.
The East and West India Dock Company
to-day declared a dividend of 3 per cent. for the
half year.

DIPROVENEVT 1N- GENTLEMEN'S HATS.

TITIIEBAR:sr..STREET, LIVERPOOL.

GENTLImEN,—I have given your Patent Easy-fitting Hat a
fair trial, and I must say it is the most comfortable hat( ever
wore, particularly when crossing the water in a windy day,
when with the old style of hat I invariably had a headache,
which with your new style is not the case. I can, therefore,
safely recommend it to any one, particularly to those subject
to headache.—l am, gentlemen, yours truly.

I have worn for some time one of the Patented Easy-fitting
Hats sold by Mr. —, and I can testify to the advantage
derived from the absence of that unpleasant pressure, particu-
larly on the forehead, usually felt from the hats generally worn.
-- House, Cheltenham. (Signed) —.
