31 H ear g It, Nov. 11.—The improvement esta
Wished on Tuesday is fully maintained, and a good Dual
Held is doing at very foil prices. In domestics • very fair
business is reported, and some large quantities of T•eloths
have been taken. Longcloths are in good demand so far
as the lighter makes of 36 and 40 inch fabrics are con-
cerned. Buyers have to give very dull rates for those
goods, and prices have a rindency in favour of sellers.
The business in India shirtings oontinues good, and some
heavy sales have be-en made during the week, establish-
ing an advance of 1:1‘1 to 3d. per piece on the quotations
of this day week. The demand for 36-inch shirtings
also continues good. Printing-cloths are very low in-
stock, and Nome heavy contracts have been wade, capes
dally in the lighter makes. There is consequently a
tendency to higher rates. The demand for yarns is of a
general character, including export as well as home
1111 akets, and stocks being considerably lessened, with
numerous contracts for future delivery, prices are
! and in sonic cases P. per lb. above the rates of last Fri-
Joy. Cops and Iraqis are in considerable request. The
; state of the cotton market is rather favourable to the
tr.ide, American qualities beginning to come in more
, tree ly, while there is a gousi supply from India on the

way.

at their offices, Great Bell-alley, Moorgate-street. The
lion. Mr. Robert Griniston was in the chair. The re-
port atated that 1:30.000 had been received on capital
account, and .1.2ii,000 hail been expended. The revenue
account showed that EVA 14s. 11d, had been rewired
and £ikt7 10s. expended, leaving a balance of
1:71 14s. 11d., which, added to the Govermuent guar-
antee, would allow of a dividend of Ile. per share. The
Chairman said that, in constsinence of the inclement
state of the weather, the shareholders had been unable
to attend from the I li.sni.cl Islands, and, under the Act
of Parliament, the only business which they could trans-
act was that of declaring a dividend of Is. per share;
and he therefore moved that a dividend of :la. per share
be declared for the six months ending September 30,
free of income-tax. Mr. Tyrrell seconded the motion
for the dividend, which was carried unanimously. The
meeting was then adjourned.
