THE I;EXiIitESS, WEDNESDAY _EVENING, NOVEMBER 30, 1864.

MACIRITIDS .LAND CREDIT COMPANY
.ILIMITID).-(THIS DAY.) ' I

The first asdinsey peers] meeting/ of the share-
, holders was held at soar. Malor-Genend Bred in the chatr,
at the emnpany's ahem 2S, kenchurch-street, for the mural
business of an ordiaary (spend meeting, sad for the pur-
pose of altering the moath prescribed by the middle of
sarociation for the holding of the annual ordinary general
meeting, and for the purpose of pausing a special resolution
to add so the sixth psragr ph of section 79 of the article* of
I association the words," but they shall not invest any
money of the company in the purchase of shares of the
company."
The report of the dirsetors states that this, the firrt
general meeting of the oompany, is held in the
month of November, in order to comply with the
I articles of association. Operations not having actually
1 oommeseed in Mauritian until July, the accoueta an-
nixed to the report embrace but a short period of ti ,roir •
but they show that the business done has enabled
the oompany to pay all current °bargee, reduce by a emai-
-1 derable sum the preliminary expenses, and carry forward a
small balance to next account. The company have sue-
seeded is placing mortgage debentures to the amount of
200,0004 ; and as the security of the debenture holders con-
sists &May to the mortgage investments of the
company, and in that portion of the subscribed
capital remaining unpaid, the directors have 'di-
'tuned from making any call upon the shareholders
beyond the amount originally paid. They have, moreover,
in the interest of the debenture holders, deemed it advisable
to limit the number of shares go be hold by any one share-
holder to five hundred. The amount raised oe debentures
has been placed at the disposal of the Mauritius board, for
investment en first mortgages of freehold property. .t.p.
manors for loans amouutin • in the aggregate, to 521.13'i1-
have bees teemed by the board, and those kens whisk on
careful investigation appeared the meet eligible have bees
secured. Accepted loans to the amount of 69,3611. 13s. 4d.
had, at the last dates, been completed and paid for,
and the necessary formalities were being fulfilled
with regard to the remaining accepted applications.
As an invariable role, the company's loans are secured on
fink mortgages of freehold property ; they do not exceed in
amount one-half of the duly appraised value of such real
property, and all necessary inquiries as to title and value
are Instituted with a view to ascertain that the proposed
securities coesatate mortgage claims of the first class. The
loans are all made or the principle of " Credit Toucan ;"
the borrower being required to pay every half year (in addition
to the amount charged by the company for the use of the
money) such a sum es sinking fund as will, with accumu-
lating interest, extinguish the loan within the time for
which it has been granted. The mortgage security held by
the company increases therefore in value in proportion as
the amount 'soured thereby gradually diminishes.
The CHLIUXAN, in moving the adoption of the le=
observed that the reasons why the bearers in the
ties did not commence before July was that the new mart-
gage ordinance was not in force till the Ist of that month,
and that other companies having started ca the same
principle se that one, the planters waited to see
what terms would be offered by each company.
Matters were however, proceeding satisfactorily. A great
many applications for loans were now under consideration,
and as soon as the company was in a position top a
further amount of debentures the profits would be greatly
increased. Each 100,000/. of additional debentures placed
would yield a profit of 12 per tent. in addition to the
profits already made ; and thus the directors would be
enabled to declare a satisfactory dividend, and to add to
the reserve food.

Thiiirrth;vitig been adopted, some routine business
having been disposed of. the meeting was made special,
when the following resolution, moved by the Chairman,
and seconded by Mr. James Du Bullion, was
passed:—" That the ordinary general meeting of the com-
pany be henceforth bald in the mouth of August or Sep-
tember at the option of the directors, and that the follow.
ing words be added to the 6th paragraph of section 79 of
the articles of usociatice, ' but they shall not invest any
money of the company in the purchase of shares of the
isonapany.'"

NATIONAL FINANCIAL COMPANY (LIMITED).
(THIS DAY.)

The first ordinary meeting of the shareholders
was held at noon, at the London Tavern ; Mr. M. C.
Sims in the chair. _ _

The i;prri, having bola issued several days before. was
%km ea read.

The Cliammas, in moving the adoption of the report,
said the directors felt great plesaure in meeting the share-
holden after six months' enterprise, and be trusted the
report was matidairtory. The only objection he had heard
was that the amount of profit was too large. This profit
bad bee. made without incurring any risk, without giving
an amisplanos, and without losing a penny. It had, in feet,
been made by fostering sound commercial enterprise. U.
mud sot trouble the meeting with any further remarks.
Admiral BMW= seconded the motion.

A fiseissotsza objected to the proposed increase of
capital by issuing sew shares. In hie opinion 61. a share
wee not a sufficient amount to be called op on the old shares.
The public did not like 501. shares with such a small sum
and he thought the amount ought at all event, to be
to 101. (Hear, bear.)
Another BHABEHOLDZA expressed his concurrence in the
views of the kat speaker, observing that trustees would
not incur the respossibility of paying heavy calla, and that
a numerical increase of "harm proportionately decreased
their market value by augmenting the number offered from
time to time for eels

Afitir;iiitOii3ca said the directors in determining to
issue new shares might have been infiuseeed by a desire to
increase the slumbers of the propsistary. (Hear, hear.)
Another Baud:Bow= observed that the addition of
5.000 new shares to the 10.000 existing owe would be vary
small, spread. as the shares would be, over the whole
1 country. 15,000 shares was by no means an excessive
number for a great compacy like that. (Hear, hear)
The ORLI:LWOW, in reply, observed that if a call were
made ea the old shares it would be compulsory, whereas
the acuptance of fresh shares was voluntary. The
question was, in fact, a shareholders' one. If
the board had additional capital it would no
doubt he able to use that capital. The c,,
t
rate of profit was not a perennial one ; but t
were many good things still oo the lapis, and be believed
new capital could be well employed. Having repeated that
the profits hitherto had been made without risking the capi-
tal, he concluded by saying that the question just raised with
regard to the new shams would be taken into consideration
by the board.
The report having been adopted, including the dogma-
tion of a dividend and bonus at the rate of tit) per cent..
On the motion of ldr. BIN G, 1,5001. was voted to the
directors for their remuneration during the put six mouths,
being at thereto of 3.0001. per ensure, the amount &nth*.
rimed by the deed of settlement.
The directors having retired. were unanimously re-
elected, and the meeting terminated with the usual vote of
thanks to the chairman and his colleagues.

TRUQT AND LOAN COMPANY OP OPP=

CdIf&DA.—(THIS DAY.)

This day the half-yearly general meeting of the
shareholders was held at the company's offices, Moorgate.
street ; Mr. E. BouvrAm, ILE, in the Asir.
The net profits for the six meths aiding the 30th of
September }mooted to 14.402/. 76., out of which the direr-
ton recommended a divided at the ratoof 84 per cent., lees
looms tax ; that oes-half of the surplus profits over 8 per
mat., amountieg to 3,964/., be carried to the reserve fund ;
sad that Ma be applied to the redemption of preliminary
elgrese A ram AN, in moving the adoption of the re
compratulated the shareholders on the satisfactory stater
affairs which it disclosed. The blab rate of interest,
of nouns, affected them, as they were in the position of
borrowers here. The anasequenoe was that they paid off
36,000/. of debenture'. It was satisfactory to know that
oee.half the debenture holders had renewed their hoods.
He considered that the proposed confederation of the North
American colonies would prove btheficial to the mother
country and to the soleaiss, and that therefore this company
would be benefited thereby. (Hew, hear.)
The motion was adopted unthimossily.

EAST INDIA IRRIGATION AND CANAL
COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.)

The seventh ordinary general meeting of the
shareholders was held at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern ;
Mr. J AWLS THOMSON in the chair.
The report, whir', bad beam simulated among the share-
holders, having been takes se reed.
The Citanniaa moved ita adoption. He said all the opera-
tions had during the last sir months been going
OD satisfactorily, and, considering the difficulties
to be encouotered, the progress was very creditable
to the empeoy's officers in India. The great
object of the board, as before stated, was to realise a profit
as early as possible, sod to postpone the raising of add'.
timid capital tall that object had been attained.
All the letters meetly received from the chief aegis/ter
confirmed the board in the opinion that the results would be
satirdectory within a nameable period. During the last
half year the company bed been subject to two cyclones.
one of which occurred on the 26th of May and
did cossiderable damage, and the other last moo th. The board
did not yet know bow far the works had been injared by
the lest disaster. but be believed it would not
materially affect their progress. The traffic received on the
canal sow amounted to &I much as it did before the
traffic was temporarily suspended. The tolls were
only shoat coe-half of what the government them-
selves bad charged on a primmest canal, nod application
had therefor* berm made--and he believed it woad be
sueenonfid—for power to Mcrae* them. The existing
traite yielded tem pet seat, and he believed the return
would be much move byeand-bye. Three additional
sections of the canal would soon be opened.
'lle report was adopted and the meeting terminated in
, the usual manner.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLom

The funds remain heavy, and have to-day expe-
rienced a fresh decline of percent. A rumour that
the Bank of England has been selling.; stock,

of less than usual importance, business being dull,
in consequence of this being the fortnightly settling
day. Generally quotations are fairly maintained.
Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates have again
attracted a great deal of attention.
There is a strong demand for money to-day, and
the supply is smaller. The rate for discount of
good bills is 61 to 7 per cent. ; and for short loans
in the Stock Exchange, 6. The fortnightly settle-
ment today promotes a demand.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the Three per Cent. Rental; were quoted
6bfr. Sc., showing no change.
Consols are now quoted 904 to 1,, with div., for

ditto for account, 894, 5 ; Three per Cents.
Reduced, 885, ; New Three per Cents., 885, 5,
; India Five per Cent. Stook, 106, 105; ; Five
per Cent "enticed" rupee paper, 102; and Ex-
chequer Bills, June, la. dia.
Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates have
again been in great demand, the former have touched
331 to 34,and letter are marked 155. These stocks are
now quoted 5 per cent. better than they were at 4
o'clock yesterday. Other foreign stocks remain steady.
Venezuela Bonds continue to meet with inquiry.
Some of the present quotations are as follows,
viz. :--Greek, 23 to ; Mexican, 29 to t f
Confederate, 59 to 61 ; Spanish Passive, 33}
to 5 ; the Certificates, 15 to 5 ; Turkish

Fora. o'CLoca.

Consols are fiat at 9011 to }, with div., for
money, and 89 1-16 to 3-16, ex div., for the ac-
count. No gold has been withdrawn from the
Bank although there is still a strong demand for
the Continent.
Bar silver continues in demand for the East at
s*. lid. per ounce. More of this metal seems to
be ncar pent to that quarter by way of Marseilles
than Southampton, supplies being readily obtain-
able at the former port through the medium of
telegrams from London, besides which there is a
saving of tune and interest, the mail leaving Mar-
' seilles a week after that yid Southampton. The
'market for Mexican dollars is very quiet, at ss. to
sa. Old. per uunoe, with no transactions of im-
iPortanoe. It appears that a conduces left the city
of Mexico on the 24th of October, with 1,200,000
dols. of this coin, and would probably reach Vera
Cruz in time to catch the French mail steamer due
at St. NA:sire about the middle of December.

The Board of Trade returns afford evidence of
the serious check which has been given to the
export trade by the exceptional condition of
our money market. A decrease of 2,210.8411.,
or 14 per cent., in the exports for October,
as compared with the same month of last year,
needs no comment, more especially when it is
borne in mind that, as above shown, the exports for
the ten months of 1864 have exceeded those of the
ten months of 1863 by no lees than 16,898,601 1. or
14 per cent. It can scarcely be doubted that, Lad
it not been for the obstacles interposed by the con-
dition of the discount market, our export business
would have made as good progress in October as it
did in the previous months of the year. It rests
with the bigoted advocates of the Beak Charter
Act to demonstrate, if they can, that a system
which thus arrests trade and labour iu their pros-
perous career, by producing, in the interest of a
limited class, an artificial famine of the circulating
medium, is advantageous to this industrial and
commercial country.
Au adjourned meeting of the creditors of Mr.
Aaron Salomon., warehouseman, of Old Change,
took place yesterday, when the committee appointed,
at the previous meeting presented a report tending
to exonerate Mr. Salomons from suspicion of com-
plicity in the fraudulent transactions of his ab-
soonded clerk, Thorneley, but censuring him
severely for having sanctioned Thorneley's entering
into stock speculations on his own account, It
also transpired that Thorneley, the forger, was
practically left without supervision or control; in
his dealings with Mr. Salomons' affairs. It was '
resolved that the estate shall be wound up under
an assignment to trustees.

In the foreign stock market the principal feature
was a continuance of the active demand for
Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates, which have
risen respectively 1 and 4 per cent. litatewents
have been put forward that in the negotiations
which are now being carried on, and in which Senor
Salamanca, the Societe Generale of Paris, and the
General Credit Company of London, with others,
are engaged, the Passive stook, currently dealt in
in the London market, is to be taken at 40
and the Certificates at 20 or 22, iu payment for a
new Spanish loan. It is greatly doubted, however,
whether these terms have been arrived at by any
authority, and equally so whether they wculd be
accepted by English holders, whose consent must of
necessity be obtained before any arrangement can be
concluded. Peruvian and Russian Bonds of 1862
declined 1 per cent. Turkish Consolides were dull,
being apparently still prejudiced by the delay which
occurred in the payment oft the dividend that fell
due the lit inst., together with the knowledge that
onerous terms are still being paid by the Turkish
government for the accommodation required at each
half-yearly dividend period. With them exceptions,
foreign stocks were firm. Venezuela Bonds rose
to 1 per cent., owing to the satisfactory sidvices re-
ferred to below. A fractional improvement also
took place in Italian, Greek, and Mexican Bonds.
