The stock markets to-day are all heavy. Realise-

ward tendency, but the heaviest department to-day

Another new banking project is brought forward
under the title of the London, Buenos Ayres, and
River Plate Bank (Limited). The direction, be-
sides being respectable, is of a practical commercial
character, and comprises members of several well-
known firms engaged in trade with the River
Plate. The field presented in that region is very
favourably regarded, and it is satisfactory to
find that the steadiness with which Buenos
Ayres pursues the path of financial good
faith is likely to meet with its due reward in the
influx of foreign capital into the country. The
fact that the rate of interest in Buenos Ayres and
Monte Video rules at 10 to 18 per cent. per annum,
is a strong point in favour of the present under-
taking. The capital is 500,000/., in shares of 1001.

The proposed dividends on North Eastern Rail-
way stocks were officially announced yesterday at
the following unsatisfactory rates, viz., on Berwick
stock at 41 per cent. per annum, against k at the

North Midland at 3 per cent. per annum against
4e ; on Leeds Northern at 11 per cent. per annum
against 21; and on Carlisle at 6 per cent. per
annum against 61. These stocks have fallen.
A small Irish railway is announced, under the
title of the Belfast, Holywood. and Bangor Railway
Company. The length of the line is lees than eight
miles, and the prospects appear to be good. The
contractor has sufficient confidence in the under-
taking to guarantee 4 per cent. interest on the
capital during construction, and it is affirmed that
on the completion of the line the profits will consi-
derably exceed that rate. The capital is 115,0001.
The share list of the Quebrada Land, Railway
and Mining Company of Venezuela was closed yea-
terday, and the applications amount to consider-
ably more than twice the number of shares to
