67fr. 10c., showing a fresh rise of Sc.
Consols are now quoted 89 to 1 for money,

A very large amount of business was transacted
yesterday at the Bank of England, owing to the terms
in the general market being fully equal to those
charged by that establishment. Amongst others the
discount houses were applicants for the usual quar-
terly advances. The Bank will probably continue to
obtain a large amount of business during the next
two or three weeks, and until the April dividend
money makes itself felt. Then an easier money
market seems likely to prevail, there being at pre-
sent scarcely any demand either for gold or silver
for export, and the rate of discount at the Bank of
France being 1 per ceut. below that current here.
The steamer Tasmanian, from the West Indies,
has brought 247,5001., of which 158,0001. is silver
and 89,5001. gold.
The failure is announced of Mr. Thomas Stir-
ling Begbie shipowner and merchant, of Man-
sion-house-place. The liabilities are estimated at
about 150,0001., and the liquidation, it is thought,
will eventually prove rather favourable. Mr.
Be4gbie's stoppage appears. to have been chiefly
caused through his connexion with two or three
[private adventures for running the blockade of the
Confederate ports. The assets include several ships.
Mr. J. W. Borstal], of Hull, and Messrs. S.
IBurstall and Co., of Bombay, have also suspended
payment. These two firms in reality form one
establishment, and the aggregate liabilities are
understood to range between 200,0001. and 300,0001.,
ibut for a considerable portion of the amount
security is held. It appears that large losses have
been made in cotton speculations, as well as in
attempts to run the blockade of the Confederate
ports ; and it is believed that the unsecured cre-
ditors will obtain only a small dividend.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Attwoods,
Spooner, Manshalls, and Co., the insolvent private
bankers, of Birmingham, took place yesterday, when
it was resolved to take the estate out of the Court
of Bankruptcy, and to wind it up under private
arrangement. A committee was appointed to secure
an early distribution of the assets. The total lia-
bilities were stated at 960,4791., and the assets at
618,4121., showing about 12s. in the pound.
The scrip certificates of the Consolidated Peruvian
Five per Cent. Loan will be ready for delivery on
the 18th instant.
The North Eastern Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 3,2601. over last year ; the
Lancashire and Yorkshire an increase of 8621. ; and
the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire an in-
crease of 131.
The half-yearly general meeting of the Credit
Foucier and Mobilier Company of England (Li-
mited) will be held on Thursday, the 20th April,
for the purpose of receiving the directors' and au-
ditors' report and balancetheet, and for declaring
a dividend.
At the meeting yesterday of the Surrey Commer-
cial Dock Company, a dividend was declared of
11. 10s., free of income tax, on the ordinary stock
and on the preference A stock, for the three months
ending the 31st inst.' as well as a half-yearly divi-
dend of 2} per cent. on the B and C preference
stocks.
The second general meeting of the shareholders
of the City Offices Company (i,imited) is called for

the 30th March.
The annual meeting of Price's Patent Candle
Company (Limited) is called for the 31st inst.,
when a dividend is to be declared.
We are informed that the letters of allotment of
the Varna Railway Company were posted yes-
day afternoon.
We are requested to state that the share list of
the South African Land and Finance Company
will be closed to-morrow, for London, and on Mon-
day, the 20th, for the country.
