THE COAL TRADE WERT OF DUDLET.—MEETINU
OF COAL MANSES YffHTZEDAT.—An important inestim of
the coal roasters West of Dudley was held yesterday (Wed-
nesday) at the Dudley Arms HoteL There was& large
attendance, all the principal trios beingtat re-
presented. It was unanimously resolved an
advance of 11. per ton in coal and lump*, and 6d.
per too fine slack should be made, the new rate to
commence on the 19th of October. It was also resolved
that from the same date an advance of &L per day should
be made in the wages of thick coal colliers, and 3d. per day
in thin coal miners. It was farther resolved by the farce°,
masters that a rise of 10 per cent. should take place from
the same date in furnace men's wages.
GREAT Wm,-TERN RAILWAY. —We hear that some
of the principal appointments consequent upon the recent
amalgamation were made at a meeting of the board of
directors on Thursday last. It is reported that owing to
Mr. Sherriff, the general manager of the West Midland,
having declined to accept the general management of the
amalgamated lines. the general management of the Great
Wester° Railway has been bestowed on Mr. J. Grimm,
hitherto good. manager of the Great Western proper, who
has had great experience in coesexion with the perils-
mentsry and general business of the company, and that
the office of secretary has been allotted to Mr. Frederick
Saunders. hitherto secretary and general manager of the
South Wales line. Mr. Walter Stevenson, who, under the
designation of assistant-secretary to Mr. C. A. Saunders,
has hitherto conducted the financial business of the Great
Western Company, is, we believe, to continue to perform
the same duties on the establishment of the amalgamated
concern, with the title of financial secretary. We under-
stand that Mr. Sherriff will for the presoak afford the com-
pany the benefit, in a consultative capacity, of his great ex-
perieooe and mature judgment on all that coeceras railway
management, and that in all probability he will continue to
reside in the mansion at Shrub-hill, in this city. of which,
we believe. be has meetly become the proprietor.— Wor-
cester Chronide.

SUDDEN DEATHS OF • BROTHZU AND Si Ea AT

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Ozwow.

The funds w-day are rather firmer, and an im-
provement of i per cent. has taken place. In the
other markets the amount of business has been only
moderate. Less disposition is now evinced
to operate for a rise in the speculative kinds of
foreign stocks which have latterly met with so much
favour.

Consols are now quoted 93} to i for money, and
93} to I) for the account (October 8). The official
business report is as follows :—Thres per Cent.
Consols, for money, 93}, ; ditto, for
account, 93} ; Three per Cents. Reduced,
91} ; New Three per Cents., 92, 911, 92} ; New
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 77 ; India Mve per
Cent. Stock, 108}, ; Bank Stock, for account,
238 ; and Exchequer Bills, par.
The foreign stock market is rather dull in cha-
racter. Mexican Bonds have declined } per cent.,
and Spanish Passive 4. Turkish ConsolidEs
and Greek Bonds, however, have im-
proved I. Italian stock is likewise better. Some
of the present quotations are annexed :—Torkish
1854 Loan, 95 to 96 ; ditto, 1858, 70} to i ; ditto,
1882, 71} to i ; the Consolidss, 364 to I ; Greek,
37} to 38} ; Mexican, tea to ; and Spanish
Passive, 36 to 4.

1004, ex div. ; ditto 1839 and 1859, 101, ex div. ;
Chili= Six per Cents., 1014, ex div. ;
Dutch Certificates, 1014, ex div. ; Egyp-
tian, 1014, 4 ; ditto, second issue, 1011 ;

son's Bay, 4 to 1 dis. ; and Egyptian Trading, 21
to 24 prem.

QUASTIIII-PART Two o'CLocx.

The improvement of } per oent. mentioned above
as having occurred in Consols has been lost, the
present quotations being 93} to if for money, and
93} to for the account.

FOUR O'CLOCK.

Console are quoted 931 to } for money, and 934
for the account, being rather firmer than at a
quarter-past 2 o'clock.

In the Stock Exchange yesterday, attention
was so completely monopolised with the comple-
tion of the very heavy settlement in shares and
foreign stocks, that fresh transactions were in-
terfered with to an unusual extent. Considering
the magnitude of the transactions, the fact that the
settlement has passed off without any casualty,
speaks well for the solidity and caution of the
members of the Stock Exchange as a body. It
does not escape attention, however, that the more
recent speculation in these classes of securities
seems to be assuming an intrinsically weaker
character; that is to say, the bong fide
sellers, particularly of foreign stocks, are
now, as a rule, of a better class than the buyers.
This feature, it is believed, contributed to bring
about the soberer tendency observable yesterday
afternoon.

Yesterday being the last day of the quarter, and
also a heavy settling day in the Stock Exchange, the
pressure for money was severe, so much so indeed
as to strengthen the views of those who bold that
the Stock Exchange Committee would do well to
refrain in future from fixing their settling days on
the last day of a quarter. This is an occasion on
which railway and other companies occasionally
have large amounts falling due, and it thus seems
desirable, on many grounds, that a different
plan should be adopted. The applications at the
Bank of England yesterday were extremely heavy,
and in the general market the demand was very
brisk at fully 4 per cent. for choice bills. The
belief which prevails in many quarters, however,
that the market will become easier after the pay-
ment of the dividends, causes the anomaly to be
still presented of good six months bills being taken
at the relatively low rate of 4 per cent.
About 68,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
yesterday, while 21,0001. was withdrawn for ex-
portation. The aggregate purchased by the Bank
since yesterday week is 330,0001., against known
withdrawals for export amounting to 106,000/.
A parcel of Mexican dollars was sold yesterday
for transmission to China by the next steamer at
Si. Rd. per ounce. There is little business in bar
silver, the result of the tenders on the 7th Oct. for
government bills on India being awaited.
The shares of the Manchester and Liverpool
District Banking Company have risen, owing to a
report that an amalgamation has been arranged
between this establishment and a private bank.
The Manchester and Liverpool District Bank-
ing Company was established in Novem-
ber, 1829, counts upwards of 700 partners,
and has a paid-up capital of 730,0001. and a re-
served fund of about 250,0001. There are 17
branches—the bead office being at Manchester—
and 13 sub-branches. The Company issues Bank
of England notes. The amount paid up per share
is 101.

The prospectus has been issued of a new bank,
bearing the title of the East London Bank (Limited).
The direction is respectable and of a practical cha-
racter, and the brokers are Messrs. Hutchinson
sird Co. The capital is 600,0001. (subject to in-
crease), in 12,000 shares of 501. each, of which it
is not intended to call up more than 150,0001.,
or 121. 10s. per share. It is pointed out that
eastward of Fenchurch-street there is not, with the
exception of three branches, one bank, either joint
stock or private, although the commercial transac-
tions of the eastern district, comprising as it does
the shipping interest, the docks, the Mincing-lane
and Mark.lane markets, large manufacturing
establishments, and • population of upwards of a
million, are necessarily very large. It is therefore
contended that there is an ample field for a new
bank, and that a considerable service will be done
to business by utilising more fully the surplus
trading capital of the district.

An official memorandum from the Great Western
Railway Company of Canada intimates that "from
the accounts of the half-year ended July 31, 1863,
the net earnings of the line (including the balance
brought from last half-year) amounted to 7,954/.
15s. 3d., which the directors recommend should be
carried to the credit of the current half-year."

The directors of the Imperial Royal Privileged
Union Bank of Austria have taken premises for con-
ducting the business; at Vienna in the immediate
neighbourhood of the Exchange, and have engaged
as one of their managers Mr. CAlward Hofzinser,
who organised the sucoessful Discount Bank at
Vienna, and has been its manager up to the present
time.

The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows the week an increase of 4,1871. • the
London and South Western a decrease of 2,3881. ;
the Great Eastern an increase of 852/. ; the Great
Northern, an increase of 1,8401. ; and the Great

Western i decrease of 1,0221.

ing Company (Limited) are to be ready for do-
