hectares for 1,000,0001. were offered to public
competition yesterday by the crown agents for the
colonies, bat only a very small portion of the

at 90, which is equal to 51. Ile Id. per cent., and
at this price the crown agents declared themselves
willing for the present to receive tenders for the
unallotted portion. A correspondent observes with
regard to this transaction :
Ills somewhat singular that while newly-established
public companies God no difficulty in raising vut sums in
this country to carry out usdertakisp of the most specula-
tive and uncertain character in foreign countries, a colonial
government icon, paying upwards of 54 par oent., and
neared on the revenues of one of our most flourishiog oak.

The fourth ordinary general meeting of the
shareholders of the Imperial Bank (Limited) will
be held on the Slat inst.

The prospectus of the Vancouver Island and
British Colombia Fishery and Oil Company
(Limited) is issued. It is mentioned that the ob-
ject of this undertaking is to establish on the coasts
of those colonies and elsewhere fisheries for herrings,
salmon, cod, sturgeon, and other fish, for which
there is a great demand in the South American
saarkets, as well as in Australia and New
Zealand. The company's programme ; includes
manufacturing oils, isinglass, and caviare, curing
the fish, and converting the refuse into manure.
Fishery stations are to be established at suitable
points. Mr. J. B. Lord, F.Z.S., who has bad
twelve years' experience in that part of North-west
America, and is well acquainted with the language
and habits of the Indiana, is to act as general
manager of the company, resident is the colonies.
The capital is fixed at 250,0001., in 25,000 shares of
101. each, with a deposit of 11. per share on applica-
tion, and 11. 10s. on allotment.

The Indian Tramway Company (Limited), which
was established in 1882 for the purpose of construct-
ing cheap branch lines of railway in India, is invit-
ing applications for the remaining portion of the
capital constituting the first issue of 260,0001.
From the cheapness with which the lines are to be
constructed it m reckoned that a receipt of only 201.
per mile per week would yield from 18 to 20 per
cent. ou the capital invested.
The letters of allotment of the Societti Gen6rale
de l'Einpire Ottoman were issued last evening. As
a deposit was not required on application, no
letters of regret have been sent to unsuccessful
