next. The directors, however, have now informed
the inquiring holders of Extension shares, that these
dividends will be found by the contractors until the
two Extension lines are opened for traffic—en ar-
rangement which would amount probably to a ibng
postponement of the alleged right of the Extension
holders to share in the profits of the company.
The case has been submitted by a legal firm of
standing to counsel, whose opinion is that " the
terms of the acts of parliament appear conclusigelY
to establish the right of the holders of Extension
shares to receive dividends not exceeding 6 per
cent. per annum. after the lit of January Mx!"
partpasse with the ordinary stock out of income."
The third call of 2/. 10s. is to be paid on the

The return of the Bank of England for the Week
ending Wednesday, Oct. 3, compared with &at
for the previous week, shows the following changes:
Circulation issue £30,906,910 Increase £3694100

Public deposits 6,169,451 Decrease 3119,732

Total reserve (notes & coin)
in banking department 7,543,507 Decrease 1,136,000
Fur the first time since the commencement of.the
fall in the rates of discount, the Bank's accoents
gi o evidence of a distinct revival of the demand
for money, as shown by the increase of 1,189,3501.
in the advances on private securities. This move-
ment is doubtless due in part to the rapid redao-
tion in the Bank's charge, but it is only such as is
usual in the closing week of each quarter, and the
probability is that, as the dividend period draws
near, the Bank's business will fall off. This view
is confirmed by the fact that the rate of discount in
the general market has again descended below the
Bank minimum. But, however this may be, the
sudden demand has caused a diminution of
1,136,090.'. in the reserve, the draught upon the
Bank for advances not having been made up io it
by any influx of deposits. The decrease of 219,7321.
in the government deposits is attributable to the
payment of salaries and other quarterly accouhts.
As usual at this season, a large amount of coin has
been transmitted to the provinces, and the conse-
quence is, that though 509,000/. of newly imported.
gold was sent into the Bank during the week, the
increase iuthe enn and bullionabove shown is only
149,8751. It must be borne in mind, however,
that the sum representing the difference remains
in the country.
