The stock markets to-day are very dull, and in
some instances prices are slightly worse,
owing chiefly to the inactivity of busi-
ness. Thus Consols are now quoted about
1 per cent worse than they closed yesterday. Rome
railway stocks and foreign bonds are soaroely lower.
A decline in the shares of the International Finan-
cial Society has formed one of the day's features.

telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
66fr. 40c.

The discount market yesterday was rather active,
the demand being apparently stimulated by the
falling due of a number of Indian bills. The
teems for paper of a high class were 71 to 8 per
cent., with only exceptional transactions at the
lower rate. A good demand was experienced at
the Bank of England.
No gold transactions of importance took place
at the Bank yesterday. It has transpired, however,
that about 100,000 sovereigns were withdrawn
from that eetabhalunent on Saturday for despatch
to Brazil to-day by the steamer Parana, which
will take in all 116,5831.
The Melbourne advices report that 242,0004 in
gold had been shipped from that port for England
durum the month. This makes the total on the
way 369,0001., including 127,0001. by the Water
Nymph and Omar Pasha, previously announced.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Thursday next a special settling day in the
shares of the Contact Corporation, and in the new
W. shares of the Union Bank of Australia, which
are to be marked in each case in the official list.
The dividend on Great Eastern Railway stock, it
is officially announced. will be at the rate of 21 per
cent per annum, against the same rate for the
corresponding period in 1862. The stock slightly
improved yesterday upon this announcement.
The directors of the Vale of Neath Railway
Company have agreed to recommend to their pro-
prietors at the half-yearly meeting on the 19th inst.
the declaration of a dividend on the ordinary stock
at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum.
The stock of the Metropolitan Railway closed yes-
terday at 104 to 105. The rupture of the alliance with
the Great Western Company, the consequent diminu-
tion of traffic receipts resulting from insufficient 1000-
motive power, and the application to parliament for
hill to ,sake further extensions, had rendered hold-
en; timid and encouraged operations for a fall, the
price gradually declining from 134 to below par. It
is now, however, understood that thee, bills are
promoted in self-defence, rather than from any
desire to oonstruet unprofitable extensions, and
that in any case the share capitals will be kept dis-
tinct from that of the main line. The construction
of engines is also rapidly progressing, and, when
complete, it is intended to run trains every five
minutes, the present service being altogether in-
sufficient for the requirements of the public. These
features, coupled with the fact that goods traffic
has yet to be brought upon the line, have appa-
rently brought investors in at the reduced prices.
The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 6661. over last year, and the.
South Eastern an increase of 9371.
An extraordinary meeting of the British and
American Exchange Banking Corporation (Limited)
is called for the 26th inst.
The adjourned meeting of the Continental Bank
Corporation (Limited) will be held on the 23rd
inst., and will be made special, to confirm the
previous resolution for altering the articles of sag
elation.
