11011 BY MARKET.—(TiIIa DAY.)

Two olhoos.
The English funds are firm to-day, and have
risen i per cent., owing chiefly to a purchase
of 30,0001. New Three per Cents. by the govern-
ment broker for the sinking fund. These invest-
ments,
it is presumed, will be oonlinued for the next
few weeks. The other departments of the Stook Ex-
change are rather dull, with little business, that for
British railway stocks showing chief depression.
The reduction in prices, however, is not important.
The discount market is quiet to-day, but the rate
for choice bills is maintained at 3} per cent. Loans
from day to day on English government securities
are in demand in the Stook Exchange, owing partly
to payments on Indian railway debentures, and
the quotation has advanoed to 3 per cent.

At Paris to-day, according to Ir. Renter's tele-

gram, the Three per Cita. Rentals opened at
67fr. 65c., being be. better than yertarday. . -

Conseil; are now quoted. 901 to 1, both for

The subjoined notification has justbeen issued by

Bank of England, August 1, 1865.
Notice is hereby given, that in order to prepare the
dividends due on the 10th October, 1885, the balances of the
several accounts in the following funds will be struckon the
night of Friday, the Ist September, 1865, viz.:—New
Three per Cent. Annuities. Reduced Three per Oast.
Annuities, Annuities for Thirty Years, Annuities for Terme
of Years, India Four per Cont. Stock. On Saturday, the
Zed September, the above-named funds will be transferable
without the dividend due on the 10th October next. Bank

11th October.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank
yesterday.
The steamer Oneida, from Brazil, has reached
Lisbon, with 14,8811. in specie.
The monthly totals of the Board of Trade
Returns for June continue to compare un-
favourably with the previous year, the decline on
this occasion being 751,4641., while for the six
months the reduction is 3,918,9481. As regards
1863, however, there is an increase on the month
and half-year of 1,955,535/., and of 12,114,4411.
One of the chief causes of the present apparent
falling off is to be found in the lower prices now pre-
vailing. For example, the exports of cotton manu-
factures in June, 1864 and 1865, were respectively
151,786,765 yards, and 167,553,664 yards, while the
values are stated at 3,828,3191. and 3,35i,3091. In
cotton yarn there has been an increase in quantity
from 6,930,157 yards to 10,024,418 yards, or nearly
50 per cent. ; and in price, from 822,1181. to
939,1841., little more than 10 per cent. The prin-
cipal decline has taken place in woollen and linen
manufactures, especially the former. Machinery,
iron, haberdashery, and silk manufactures are also
items on the unfavourable side. Leather and
hardwares show an augmentation.
The present returns give the computed value of
the principal articles imported into the United
Kingdom in the month and five months ending the
31st May. Another considerable falling off is
shown, the amount for May, 1865, baying been
14,615,8471. against 22,392,6011. in the same period
of 1864, and 15,730,6901. in 1863. For the five
months the totals stand at 60,054,9331. in 1863,
77,111,9911. in 1864, and 64,756,0001. in 1865.
The decline is chiefly exhibited in cotton, the im-
ports having been 3,215,4181. only in May 1865,while
in the same month of 1864 they were 10,868,6201.,
and in 1863, 3,991,0501. The imports of wheat
have more than doubled, from 598,4731. to
1,269,0261., as regards May only •, for the first
five months of the year, on the other hand, they
have fallen to 2,358,3931. in 1865, from 3,983,6771.
in 1864, and 4,561,5481. in 1863.
The annual meeting of the Australian Agricul-
tural Company was held yesterday. The directors'

that at that date the balance of net revenue was
13,8251. Out of this the sum of 5,0001. was dis-
tributed as dividend in February last, leaving
8,8251. due for future distribution oa account of
the operations up to the 31st December, 1864. At
that time, however, this amount was absorbed in
an advance of 4,5551. to capital, and in the general
colonial account, and was thus rendered unavailable
for dividend.
At the first half-yearly meeting of the Eastern
Assent Company the directors' report, announcing
the payment on the Ist August of a dividend for
the six months at the rate of 10 per cent. per an-
num, leas income-tax, was approved.
The meeting of the Nowgong Tea Company of
Assam took place yesterday, when the directors' re-
