AKET.-(THIS LAI.)
Two o'Ciocu.
This is settling day in the English funds, which
are firmer. Consols, which are now quoted ex the
dividend for the new account (June 10), are about

I per oent. higher than they closed yesterday.
English railway shares remain heavy. There has
been some animation in Mexican Bonds.
Turkish Loan Scrip is quoted 21 to 3 prem. ;
Egyptian, 2to 2} prem. ; and Russian, to

prem.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
70fr. 80c., being without change.
Consols are officially marked 94 and 931
for money, and 921 ex div. for the 10th
of June. The present quotations are 93.1 to
94 for cash, and 94 1-16 to 3-16 (or equal
to 921, ex div.) for the 10th of AIM. The
official business report is as follows :—Bank Stock,
2371, 236 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, 911; New
Three per Cents., 911, 921, 911; India Stock, 227 ;
ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1091, ; ditto Four
per Cent. Debentures, 1863, 1001 ; ditto 1884,
1001, 1; ditto 1864 or 1866, 1001 ; Five per
Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 1031, 1 ; Exche-
quer Bills., 18a. prem.
Mexican Bonds have fluctuated considerably to-
day, being marked 311 to 321. The last trans-
actions recorded are at 321. The Turkish
Loan of 1868 remains quoted 71 to ;
in the Loan of 1864 there has been no business.

- - -
The Spanish Certificates and Italian Five per Cents.
are weaker. Sales are recorded as follows :
Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 1001, ;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1852-
58-60, 921 ; Egyptian Seven per Cents.,
2,1, 11, 2i prem. ; Italian Five per Cents,

ditto, 1862 (scrip), 3, 21 prem. ; ditto paid
up scrip, 701,1, 1 ; Venezuela Three per Cents.,

The discount market is apparently a little affected
by the numerous payments made of late on foreign
loans and other projects. The demand has some-
what increased during the last few days.
The tenders for bills on India for this month
were opened yesterday at the Bank of England, with
the usual formalities. The minimum price declared
was the same as on former occasions, namely, for
bills on Calcutta, ls. 11N. per rupee, and on Bom-
bay and Madras, 2s. The amount tendered at and
above the minimum rate was about 27+ lam, out of
30 laos (300,0004 for which the Council of India
was prepared to issue bills, but the tenders on
Bombay being in armee of the allotted amount,
applicants will only receive about one-half of their
tenders. Those on Calcutta and Madras will be
accepted in full.
The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was heavy,
with transactions to the extent of only 3,000 bales.
The liabilities of Messrs. Hill and Ledger, whole-
sale and export oilmen, whose failure was men-
tioned on Tuesday, amount to shout 7/0,0001., but
most of the creditors are secured. The amount of
the assets will depend chiefly upon the stock, which
has yet to be valued. The accountants employed
are Messrs. Clarke, Ford, and Co.
It appears that the directors of the Ottoman
Bank have not yet arrived at any formal determi-
nation respecting the terms on which the new capi-
tal is to be issued to the shareholders. Looking,
however, to the antecedents of the board, it is
certain that the affair will be conducted in strict
accordance with the true interests of the pro-
prietors.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 3,4091. ; and
the Lancashire and Yorkshire a decrease of 4,9001.
At the meeting of the Sovereign Life Assurance
Company, held yesterday, the report of Mr. Hardy,
the actuary, pronounced the office to be in a very
prosperous condition, and recommended a bonus of
larger amount than on any former occasion. The
new premiums received in 1861 were 6,055/.,
assuring 171,2501.
An additional report from Mr. J. H. R.
the assistant engineer and the representative
Messrs Peto and Betts, contains a good deal of in-
teresting matter relative to the oil production.
Mr. Rose remarks :
There is little doubt but that we may anticipate a yaw
large traffic from this source, as all that I have seen has
been during a dull time ; later in the year the business will,
of course, be largely increased. Taking the amount I has.
given you as present production, and which is capable of to.
crease in many instances, as somee of the best wells I saw
were not working full power (the flows being checked by
dopemaks) 8,395 barrels, and seaming a truck load at 811
lieneis„ we have 8,395 divided by 60, which Is
equal to 139 truck-loads per day, which would tax'
the capacity of one railway pretty well to convey.
Some of the leading men at Franklin are very dermas
of getting railway communication from that dace to
Meadville, which they contend would open up • large
tract of country at present shut out from railway advan-
tage., and that Franklin would form the nucleus of •
large local trade, of which one item would be coal, that
the line would give additional facilities for supplying oil
to the west. They propose seeing Mr. Kennard and the
directors this next week upon the subject. From what I
maw of the country between Franklin and Meadville, it is
very probable that • railway may be ooustracted with ease
along the volley of the French creek, and at a comparatively
inexpensive rate. I noticed on my return journey that the
derrick and pumping wells showed themselves at intervals
all the way from Franklin; any extension of this business
I would of course be absorbd by such a line if constructed.
A general meeting of the Eastern Bengal Rail-
way Company is convened for the 30th instant.

With reference to the market for American secu-
rities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows :
The markets for American securities is Loader), which
closed firm as per our last report, have continued so, and
for railroad bonds purchasers have bad to pay advanced
rates. In Erie Third Mortgage Bonds the improvement has
been from 781 to 801. Of Atlantic and Great Western
Bonds there are several buyers on the market, with few, if
any, offering : and although no official transactions are re-
corded, they close firm at 67 bid. Erie shares have been in
steady demand at an advance of 1 per cent. A similar im-
provement had taken place in Illinois Central 90 dol. shares ;
but late this afternoon, on receipt of a telegram from New
York, reporting a decline to 581, they gave way, and closed
-ry heavy at 48 to 47 die.

Wzronmeas Evian o.

The India Five per Cent, stock has again risen
per cent., closing at 1094 to 4. The rupee paper
was inquired for. Exchequer Bills were quoted
18s. to 21s. prem.
Some excitement again prevailed to-day in the
market for the Spanish Certificates. The first
transactions were at 10, but sales were then pressed
as low as 9. At the close the price had recovered

Railway scrip is maintained.
Bank shares were generally steady. Ottoman
however, were quoted slightly lower. In
miecellaneous shares there was a reduction in
Anglo-Mesican Mint, but a sustained demand for
National Discount and Rio Improvements. Royal
Mail Steam were rather better.
The closing quotations for shares in new under-
takings to-day were as follows :—Ocean Marine In-
alliance, to I prem.; Thames and Mersey

operations immediately.
Victoria Government Debentures were rather
more offered to-day.
