At the meeting of the National Discount Com-
pany to-day the report was adopted, and a dividend
declared of 21 per cent. for the half-year.
The following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday :

In the discount market the demand has been
moderate. The financial advices from Paris ex-
press a greater degree of confidence than has
been observable for some time past. About
40,000 sovereigns were taken from the Bank for
America. In the Foreign Exchange the rate of
Paris was slightly lower. Some considerable
remittances of gold have lately been received at
Paris from Constantinople, and it is now said
that several amounts are on their way to London.

British railway stocks experienced a decided
rise in the morning, assisted by a rumour that
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company will pro-•
bably be able to pay a dividend at the rate of 61
per cent. per annum. Although a partial reaction
occurred in the afternoon, the closing quotations
were decidedly about those of yesterday. -
There is no pressure -for discounts upon the
Bank of England, and an impression prevails that
that establishment has now ceased to place stock
upon the market.• The funds closed k per cent.
better. The supply of money in the discount
market appears to be increasing. Some of the
more disquieting features affecting the market
having subsided, a disposition is shown by holders
of money to take advantage of high rates now
current. The best bills were taken at 6 to 7
per cent. At the Bank of England there was a
fair demand.—Daily News' City Article.
The negotiations for enabling the resumption
of business by Ede, Son, and Co. have fallen
through, and the affairs of the house will pass
into liquidation. The total liabilities, it appears,
at the time of the stoppage were about a million,
but a number of these have now run off.
