MONEY MARKET•
TossRAY Box•.

The slight fluctuations in Consols which have
taken place may be accepted se evidence of the very
limited nature of the transactions to-day. The forth-
coming dividends on various stocks, such as the Re-
duced Threes, the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,
the Long Annuities, &c., which will become payable
at the Bank to the public on Friday next, have con-
tributed to the steadiness of Consols, and
may possibly come to improve prices by the
quantity of money then let out, a considerable
proportion of which will probably be brought into the
dock market for re-investment, supposing no dis-
turbance of prices meanwhile from political causes.
Low as railway securities have fallen in marketable
value, they are otherwise so much depreciated in mu-
lic estimation that it is scarcely to be expected much
dividend money will be employed in that direction.
Consols left off 86 to j for money, and 861 to 1 for
account. Exchequer Bills, 30s. to 33e. pre-
mium. India Bonds. 290. to 320. premium.
Bank Stock for account, and ex-dividend of
course, was done at 1921, which with the
dividend is equal to 196, from which it
will be seen that, so far, the market value of the stock
has not been damaged by the reduced rate of 31 per
met. half-yearly dividend so prudently submitted to
under actual circumstances by the proprietary. India
stork was sold as low as 234, but quoted 234 to 237.
Business, but that of a purely speculative nature,
was chiefly confined in the foreign market to Mexican
bonds. The transactions were somewhat exten-
sive, and the bonds obtained a further advanoe
of price. They were - bought up to 194,
and at the close were quoted 194 to 1.
Portuguese were still in favour, but though called 3
241 to 64, were not really so good; the nearest quota-
tions would be 1 lower in each case. Spanish Fives
were inactive at 111 to:12, the Threes better at 231 to a
; Passive, 24 to 31 . Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. still ruled at 441 to 61; the Fours, ex div.,
at 681 to 91. Belgian, 70 to 2. Danish, 65 to 8, ex I
div. Russian, 99 to 100. Peruvian were rather better IA
at 30 to I. New Granada at 111 to 121. Chilian,
ex div., 83 to 6. Brazilian, ex die., 72 to 4. A bar-
gain was done in Austrian stock, which is rather a
rare occurrence, at 74, bat buying and selling prices
are not to be qoted within any given limits.
In Foreign exchange the transactions were of
rather more importance, with the rates on Hamburg,
Paris, and some Italian places more in favour of this
country. On Hamburg the negotiations were 13.11
to 4 ; on Paris,-, 26.66 on Amsterdam, 12.11 to
1; on Rotterdam, 12.13 to 4 ; on Antwerp, 26.76;
on Frankfort, 121 to 1; on Vienna, 11 to 11.6 ;
on Leghorn, 31.90 to 32.10; on Naples, 374 ; on
Madrid, 47 ; on Lisbon, 614—a1l at three months.
On Paris, at short, as most of the transactions were
effected, the negotiations ruled at 25.321 to 371.
The India mail has brought • report of the affairs
of the Agra and United Service Joint Stock Banking
Company for the half-year ending the 30th of June
last, with a copy of which we have been favoured.
Without offering any opinion upon the merits of that
establishment, or upon the position it is entitled to
hold in public credit, further than what would appear
to be justified by the sisumption that all the state-
ments contained in this report are, as they should be,
substantially borne out, it may be permitted to say
that a body of mounts apparently more lucid and
complete, although voluminous, were never sub-
mitted to the proprietary of a public com-
pany. Much of the discredit attaching to railway
management, and the want of confidence resulting
in railway securities, might have been avoided by re-
ports equally detailed and explicit on all points of
railway expenditure, railway dividends, profits and
loot amounts, the waste, wear and tear, musapplioa-
tion, or reduction of capital, tra. The vocation of
Mr. Arthur Smith as a pamphleteering expounder of
railway abuses would, in such cas-, have found the
room for display.
The Agra Bank has agencies in Calcutta, Madre%
Bombay,-Mireapore, and London. The report et the
directors embraces full returns of the business,
losses, cash and securities in hand at each or thaisellei
and the principal bank, with the examination and
verification, severally, of auditoreseleoted among high
public functionaries, in each locality, unconnected
themselves with the bank as would appear. The
balance sheets giver: exclusive of the general sum-
maries of the directors and auditors, may be thus
classed : First, there is the " Account current of the
Trustees of the Bank with the Proprietors." Secondly,
" The Statement of the Affairs of the Bank, and
Agencies for the Half-year." Thirdly, "The Abstract
of Profit and Loss for the Half-year." Fourthly,
" The Proportion of Fixed Deposits contributed
by Shareholders, and non Shareholders to the
Bank and branches." Fifthly "The Abstract of
Applications from Officers for Loans, on bond,
with sureties sanctioned and declined, at the bank
and agencies." Sixthly, the " classified abstract of
loan balances to the 30th of June." And, seventhly,
the " specification of the various classes of balms
into which the general head of loans is subdivided."
The reasons assigned by the directors for the great
detail in which the affairs of the Bank are thus ex-
hibited, are entirely creditable to their sagacity and
foresight. The extraordinary delinquencies developed
on the failure of the Union Bank of Calcutta, ma& it
no less • matter of necemity than of prudence, in-
deed, to redeem even from suspicion the =duet and
honour of the directors of all other bank amociations.
Thus it is observed in this report, that
In the amounts now ape. the table, instead of, as on
former e Bros amount, being stated, the
=ltimed arcs Mil hoost, referable to the several
sm sagefildy delsiisel. Ms proprietary have thus
the means d sieseteletsg what extent of business is dons by
every brand k balk credits, and discounts ; what its actual
cash halms, ; wird the nature and amount of its deposits
what the expenses hammed in local management ; and what
the profits sa se* elms of account. To this the directors
have also added • spesffiettion of the loans, according to the
different demo of @security into which the large amounts
entered sobs Yost kW* general head are subdivided.
Them and ethandisalls, alluded to by the head office auditors
in their weals report, will, the directors trust, lei swept-
able to the shareholders.
In conclusion, it may be remarked, that the ac-
counts thus rendered in detail, show a divisible
balance of profits equal to 111 per oent., without
touching the reserve fund. The directors out of this
wisely propose a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent.
only, and carrying the balance to profit and loss ao-
