Yesterday was the special settling day. in the scrip
of the new Turkish Loan, which has risen to n to
2} premium. The demand to pay up in full was
extraordinary, and Messrs. Glyn's banking house
was quite besieged by the applicant. The total
amount of stock paid up in full was announced
late in the evening to be no less than 2,700,0001.,
and additional payments to a considerable extent
will be made to-morrow. It is warmly necessary
to point out that the voluntary transfer of so large
an amount of the scrip into the form of bonds is
calculated materially to strengthen the market.
The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed
to-morrow for the settlement in the shares of the
Amman (Aberdare) Colliery Company (Limited).

At the eighth ordinary general meeting, yesterday,
of the shareholders of the Chartered Bank of Ini
Australia, and China, the directors' report stated
the net profit for the year ending December last
at 40,6542., which is reduced to 22,9871. after the
deduction of the half-yearly interim dividend
declared in October last. The dividend declared
for the past half-year is at the rate of 5 per cent.
per annum, free of income tax, and 5,0001. is added
to the reserve fund, which the directors consider
ought to be gradually increased. The falling olf
in the dividend wen attributed by the chairman to
unsatisfactory China exchanges, and to the stagna-
tion of trade occasioned by the American war. The
report was adopted-
