With reference to the letter from Mr. Duncan
Dnelies, which appeared 'in the .Express of this
morning, denying that a project for the amalgama-
tion of the London Chartered Bank of Australia and
the English, Scottish, and Australian Bank had
been entertained by the directors of the former com-
pany, we can state that negotiations were pending
hint sow days between influential members of the two
bards, and as it was generally believed a suneassh/
msnit would have been attained, a great deal allow
Wire was excited by Mr. Dunbar's letter. Both
bents are in a similar position as 176tea
Wiwi for a charter, and a project
sertainly appears. reasonable, as being" to
ea= a great wing in the working impasse of be
banks. In case of an amalgemoliso a somber of the
directors of each institution vi hove to vacate
their scats, and it is probably to this circumstance
that the rejection of the Foposition is owing.
The quotations of stocks at Amderdam on Thurs-
day are thus reported by Mr. Rwatees telegraphic
express:—Dutch Four per Cents., 964; ditto Tyro-
and-a-Half per Cents., 634. Spanish New Deferred

The business in the market for foreign exchange
to-day was not extensive, and the rates did not vary
materially. Short Paris was done at 25.30 to 321;
do. 3 months at 25.471 to 60. Amsterdam remained
at 12.01 to 1. Hamburg was in demand, and, little
paper being in the market, the rate declined to 13.81
to 1. Frankfort was done at 1201. The quotations
for Italian places experienced no change, but
Spanish and Portuguese paper was dull, and nego-
tiations were effected in favour of buyers. St. Pe-
tersburg ruled at 371 to a. Vienna and Trieste were
extremely flat, at 11.40 to 44, with limited transac-
tions. Annexed is our usual list of the prices
negotiated :

There has been a considerable rise in the price of
rid at Hamburg. The quotation received by to-
day's mail is 4301, at which rate there wee now
offering in the market.
The price of gold yesterday at Paris was about
1 per mills prom. (new tariff rate), which at the
English mint price of U. 17s. 101 d. per ounce fa
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.191; and the
exchange at Paris on London, at short, being 25.30,
it follows that gold is about 0.417 per cent. dearer
on than in Paris.
By to-day's advice, the price of gold at Hamburg
is 4301 per mare, which, at the English Mint price
of 31. 17a. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 13.7/ ; and the exchange at Ham-
burg on London, at sheet, being 13.0, it follows that
gold is about 0.813 per cent. dearer in Hamburg
than %London.
According to the last accounts, the course of ex-
change at New York on London for bill' at sixty
days' sight is 1101 per cent., and the par ci exchange
between England and America being 109 23.40 per
cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92
