lion, have imued proposals fur carryini on their basil-

It is said the profita for the year ending the 12th of
April last were £44,900, but that if the plant and other
meets were sacrificed by fumed males there might be a
conaiderable deficiency against the estate. Tnuitees
awl others, precluded on legal grounds from becoming
aliareholders, are to be offered 5 per cent. debentures
maturing in 1867 at the rate of £75 for every £lOO
due, such debentures to be secured by • first her on the
Pasch.

Noiwithstanding that there is very little stock in the
Isautbs of the jobbers, and that no news of importance
has tense to hand from the Continent, the amount of
Mildness doing in home securities this week has been
very moderate, and prices have shown signs of weak-
ness.

The supply of money for discount purposes is still
very large. but the demand haa improved. and the
lowest quotation for abort paper in Lombard-street is
now 21 1 per cent. The applicationa at the Rank have
been by no means numerous. and the directors have
made no further change in their minimum.
The imports of bullion have been on an extensive
scale, via—about £MIO,OOO, the greater poriloe of

The colonial produce markets during the week haw.
been steady, and have closed generally without mete-
rial &iteration. A electorate export inquiry atilt pre-
vails, but there hag been no revival of vp.eulation even
in the articles most likely to be affected by a pro:racted
war. Boor has attracted considerable attention, con-
sumer. making numerous purchases at an advance of
6.1. to Is. per cwt. in nearly all kinds. Them opera-
tions appear to be partly roweled on vague rumours of
an addition to the present duties being coutemplated.
On Friday, however, Use 6406 went oir with lee. spirit,
and low sugars have barely supported the above improve-
ment. The demand for plantatiou Ceylon cogs* hag

have been steady, except white pepper, which is quoted
Id. to lid. per lb. cheaper. Black Sumatra sells freely
at a recovery of id. to od. per pound from the lowest
rates of last month, owing to the gradual diminution of
stock. The few tramiactions in saltpetre have been at
irregular prime, and the market ia inanimate. Tea has
continued flat, the dealers buying very moderately by
private contract. At the public sales on Thursday and
Friday • fair proportion of the desenptions submitted
were disposed of, the principal feature being • decline a
Id. in fisvoury cougou, and id. to Id. per pound in
unthum grades. Rum sells freely at extreme rides.
