It is worthy of remark that though, inclusive of
yesterday's operations, as much as 481,000/ in gold
from abroad has been sent into the Bank during the
week, the net gain, afterallowing for the withdrawals
and for export in the sante period, does not ex_
ceed 226,0001. Moreover, the exports of specie
to the new cotton fields are increasing, as
may be inferred from the magnitude of the amount
(150,0001.) withdrawn yesterday for Alexandria
14 and from the continued unfavourable tendency of
the Indian exchanges, as reported by the telegrams
just received
In the Stock Exchange great difficulty continues
to be experienced in finding employment for any
large amounts of money on government securities,
and the rate yesterday for short periods was only
2 to 2i per cent.
About 93,0001. in bar gold, and 12,000 sovereigns
were sent into the Bank yesterday, while 150,000
dis sovereigns were withdrawn fur Alexandria, to pay
for cotton. The operations of the week comprise
481,000/ sent in, and 255,0001. withdrawn fur ex-
portation.
Rumours have been current lately of the em-
barrassments of a large firm in the East India
trade, but it appears that the difficulty was

arranged.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Wilding
and Strachan, spinners and manufacturers, of
Preston, whose failure was announced, wail held
on Tuesday, when the liabilities were stated at
53,9931., against assets amounting to 20,0001. It
was proposed to pay a composition of 7s. 6d. in
the pound, in instalments extending over 12
months.
In the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co. we
are informed that the liquidators are taking
every step necessary to enforce the payment of the
call. The shareholders are now beginning to dread
the extreme steps being taken under the four-day
order which, however, cannot be obtained until
next week. During the past two days the Defence
Association have received considerable additional
support, and, notwithstanding the recent adverse
decisions, its indefatigable committee, yet hope with
the aid of their solicitors, Messrs. Clarke, Son, and
Rawlins, to protect the members until the courts
open next month.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 4,396/. over
the corresponding week of 1865, and the Midland
an increase of 7,6361.
A meeting was held yesterday of the shareholders
in the Angle-Italian Bank, when the resolutions for
the reconstitution of the undertaking and the re-
duction of the nominal value of the shares, passed
at the meeting on the 26th ult. were confirmed,
after some discussion. The proceedings are noticed
in another column.
The Hop and Malt Exchange and Warehouse
Company (Limited) have made a call of 21. on the
shares of the undertaking, with 71. paid thereon,
payable by the 21st November.
the directors of the Ebbw Vale Company
(Limited) have made a call of 2t. per share, payable
by the 15th January.
The half-yearly meeting of shareholders of the
London and South African Bank is called for the
15th November.
di' Creditors of the Licensed Victuallers' and Gene-
ral Plate Glass Insurance Company (Limited) are
required to send the particulars of their claims to
the liquidator by the 19th November.
Formal notice is given of petitions haying been
presented to the Court of Chancery for the winding
up of the undermentioned companies "on the next
day of petitions," viz. :—The Colonial and General
Gas Company (Limited) ; Imperial Land Credit
Corporation (Limited); Lpper Assam Tea Company
(Limited); the Merchants Company (Limited) ;
Harper Twelvetrees (Limited); and Ottoman Fi-
' nancial Association (Limited).
