of the sailing of three vessels from Melbourne for
London—viz., the Angles's on the 20th, and the
Thames and Statesman on the 26th Jan. The amount

siderable. The following quantities must also bel

The corn market yesterday was inactive, but firm, at
Monday's rates. The foreign arrivals in London this
week are incousiderable, comprising 1,160 qrs. of
wheat, 310 qrs. of barley, 6,120 qrs. of oats, and no
barrel fionr. The country markets held yesterday
were generally rather higher. The downward
movement of the French corn markets has also been
arrested.

The following letter is from the Mexican financial
agent in London :

61r,—Besides the lam of 67 401 dollars 6 cents., adver-
tised in my circular of yesterday as saved by the West
India 'teazel La Plata, from Vera Cruz sad Tampico, for

dividend..

The directors of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company recommend the usual dividend of 21.
per share, beaides a bonus of 21. per share, ex 11usive
of income-tax. The provision for deterioration of
ships is now increased front 6 to 10 per cent. The
directors have tendered for the performance of the
packet service to Australia, cia Panama.
At the extraordinary general meeting of the
lAustralian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company,
held yesterday, the report of the directors, after some
modification was adopted. A return of 10a. per
share was declared, which will be paid next week.
Several proprietors complained that an offer of
170,0001. for the company's four vessels had not been
treated with sufficient consideration by the board.
Upon this subject explanations and statements were
made at great length. A motion for authorising the
directors to apply for a supplementary charter was
carried by a small majority. A demand for a ballot
on the question was made by the dissentients.
At the general meeting of the Western of France
Railway Company, held at Paris on the 31st March,
the dividend was fixed at 321.60 e, which, added to
the 17L 60c. already paid, raises the total distribution
for the year 1866 to 60f. per share. This payment,
being the result of the first year's working of the
amalgamated company, is considered satisfactory.
The annual meeting of the North British Austral-
asian Company is called for the 22nd inst.; and the
half-yearly meeting of the Namur and Liege and
Mons and Manage Railway Company for tha.23rd
inst., in London. The accounts, &a, of the latter

WIDNRIDAT 11•101[w..

The funds maintain vouch steadiness, but a decline
of j per cent. was established this afternoon. Some
speculative sales, in realisation of profits, have been
induced by the approach of the monthly settlement.
There was, however, no teodenoy towards fluctuation,
and most other departments of the Stock Exchange
retain a favourable appearance. _ .

n. discount market to-day was well supplied with
money, with a good demand. In some quarters to-
morrow's weekly board at the Bank is looked for-
ward to with interest, owing to the impression that
the directors may remove the additional charge now
exacted upon disoount of bills with more than 60
days to run. In the Stock Exchange money was
sensibly easier, and short loans were obtainable on
government securities at about 5 per cent.
1 Cowls were supported during, great part of the

day at yesterday's final quotation of 931 tolliM
10th inst., but had receded at the close to 93 to /.
For money the lot pries was 921

In the foreign stock market the principal feature
was a considerable rise in Mexican Bonds and
Turkish Six per Cents. Mexican Bonds were first
marked 201, rose upon numerous speculative pur-
chases to 22, and closed at 211 to 1. Various reports
were circulated in explanation of the advanoe, bat
the price of this stock has lately ruled low. Turkish
Six per Cents. were also in great speculative favour,
and were marked as high u 1031. The closing
quotation was 102 to 1, being a per cent. higher than
that of yesterday. Today's fresh rise has induced
some considerable sales. The possibility that Turkey
may ere long appear again as a borrower must be
borne in mind in estimating the value of the existing
Six per Cent. Loan. Turkish Guaranteed Four per
Cents. closed rather natter, at 1011 to 102. Sardi-
nian bonds still meet with inquiry. Some attention
also continues to be directed to Spanish securities. In
Buenos Ayres bonds a bargain is recorded at 80. The
aggregate operations in this department were consider-
able.
At Amsterdam yesterday (Tuesday) the exchange
on London was quoted rather lower, at 11.95, foe
short; at Berlin, 6.22 ; at Hamburg, 13.71 ; and at
Vienna, 10.04.

being better. Western Bank of London shares bare
risen to 2to I die. London. and County Bank shares
were again weaker, owing to further sales for account
of holders who are also shareholders in the Tipperary
Joint Stock Bank. The stocks of all the Australian
land companies, especially the Australian Agricul-
tural, were decidedly better. London Dock stock
was dealt in at 991 ; and Victoria Docks, at 18f to 1.
The shares of the Turkish Gas Company were
quoted fto pram.
