Consols are unchanged, at 891 to for money,
and 84 to for the account. About 36,0001. in
gold has been sent into the Rank ; no withdrawals
are reported.
Speculation has now for the most part quitted
those home railway stocks the dividends on which
have been announced, and occupies itself chiefly
with those lines in respect of which there is still
scope for varying rumours and conjectures.

At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Mr.
James Lanham (trading as Messrs. James Lunham
and Co.), wholesale cheesemonger and provision
agent, of the Borough, the committee of investiga-
tion presented a report, showing a decrease in the
liabilities and an increase in the assets, as com-
pared with the figures brought forward at the last
meeting. Several debts previously called doubtful
the committee consider good, and hence the aug-
mentation in the assets. The committee suggested
that 10s. in the pound should be paid to the creditors,
while Mr. Lunham was advised that he was not in
a position to pay more than 9s. It was eventually
decided to accept a composition of 9s. 6d. in the
pound, payable in instalments extending from
March to December next. The estate is to be
wound up by Mr. Lunham, in conjunction with
Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., the
accountants.
