MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

On olhooz.

The markets for public securities are rather dull
to-day, and the changes in prices, with a few ex-
ceptions, are in an adverse direction. As might
reasonably has e been anticipated, the important
rise during the last few days has brought forward
sellers, who wish to realise the profit on their
recent transactions. These operations have, of
course, tended to weaken most of the de-
partments, and the usual speculators for a
fall take advantage of this circumstance by
effecting sales. Consols are fiat, at the decline of
yesterday. Some of the speculative foreign bonds
have experienced a further slight reduction. As
regards home railway stocks, the principal move-
ment is a fall of 1 per cent. in Caledonian. A few
of the other lines have also given way, and the ten-
dency of these securities generally is unfavourable.
The discount market is inactive, as usual on a
Saturday, but the rate for the best bills is main-
tained at 1 to 11 per cent.

Consols are quoted 941 to i, with div., for
money, and 931 to #, ex div., for the account
(December 5). The Three per Cents. Reduced and
New Three per Centa. are without variation, at
93 to 93).

Railway stocks are offered, and the general
tone of the market is unfavourable. Caledonian
is heavy, and has fallen 1 per cent.—viz., to
74 to I. The reduction in several other lines
amounts toe to }, but Great Northern original
is } better 107 to 108. Metropolitan stock is
quoted 119} to ; Great Western, 44k to 45} ;
London and North Western, 113} to 114} ;
Midland, 1121 to 113} ; Lancashire and York-
shire, 231 to k ; South Eastern, 68} to } ;

to 20 ; North British, 32} to 33 ; Brighton, 52}
to 1 ; Berwick, 99} ;to 100 ; and York and North

A few transactions have been recorded in Indian
government stocks, at the quotations of yesterday.
The Five per Cents. are quoted 1154 to 116, and
the Fours, 100 to 1014.

The foreign stock market is dull, and prices have
receded in some cases, though not to any impor-
tant extent. Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive

At the half-yearly meeting yesterday of the
Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company (Limited), the
directors report, which was adopted, showed a
balance of profit available for distribution of
22,0001., but it was decided, after some discussion,
to carry this forward to the credit of the next half
year.
At the meeting yesterday of the Trust and Loan
Company of Upper Canada, tho directors' report
was adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate
of 8 per cent. per annum, less income-tax, for the
six months ending September last.
The following is from the report of the directors
lof the Bank of British North America, to be pre-
sented at the general meeting on the 3rd Decem-
ber :

In conformity with their usual practice at this period of
the year, the directors have examined the accounts of the
bank up to the latest dates received, and have based their
caleuletions of profit thereon, and on a proportionate esti-
mate for the remainder of the year; and upon the probable
results of the year's accounts they have declared the
usual half-yearly dividend at the rate of 6 per
cent. per senora, free of income tax ; warrants
for which will be forwarded to the proprietors as
usual, payable on the 4th January next. A good harvest
in Canada, coupled with high prices for grain in the
markets of Europe, must have added materially to the
wealth of the classes connected with agriculture. and may
be expected to give an impetus to the trade of the domi-
nion. There has also been an abundant harvest in Cali-
fornia, and large shipments of grain have been made from
San Francisco to this country. At the branches in Canada,
and at tho agencies in the United States, the business of
the bank is in a satisfactory condition, and its capital fully
employed.
