The fonds te-day are firmer, and an advance of
about per cent. has been established. English
railway stocks are also, in most instances, dearer.
Firmness prevails in all departments of the Stock
Exchange.
General satisfaction is expressed at the news that
the Atlantic Telegraph cable has at length been
successfully laid. The shares in this company have
consequently experienced a great rise, and are now
quoted 7601., " buyers," and 1,0001. (or par),
" sellers."

Consols for money hive been dealt in from 951
to 961 , and are now qaotrd 961. For the 7th Sep-
tember the present quotation is 961 to 1,
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt

At Paris to-day (Thursday), according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes
opened at 68fr. 35c. for the account, being the same
as they closed yesterday.
A telegram, received this morning, announces the
arrival at Suez, on the 30th ult., of the mail steamer
from Australia, with dates to the 11th of June from
Sydney, and the 16th idem from Melbourne, and
73,0001. in gold. The outward steamer Etneu ar-
rived at Sydney, on the 11th of June.
It was officially announced yesterday afternoon
that the 3,579,0001., which forms the balance of the
Indian Four per Cent. Eight Million loan, is now
submitted for public competition. The full parti-
culars were contained in the official notification which
was given in yesterday's Express. It will, there-
fore, suffice to mention here that the latest period
allowed for receiving tenders is noon on the 17th
inst. The debentures, it will be remembered, have
five years to ran. So much of the amount tendered
is to be paid on the 23rd inst., as will leave 75 per
cent. to be paid in three instalments of 25 percent.,
or 894,7501. each, on the 20th Sept., 18th Oct.,
and 15th Nov. In other words, the entire
sum is to be paid within three months and a
fortnight. Although two instalments have yet to be
met on the portion of the loan first issued—viz., 15
per cent. (making 85 per cent. paid) on Tuesday
next, and the final instalment on the 10th September
—there is no doubt that the amount will be 'applied
without in any way disturbing the money market.
These requirements, however, have a natural tendency
to promote a better demand for money. In one point
the India House authorities have adhered to the ex-
clusive conditions by which the first loan was dis-
tinguished, the debentures being for no smaller
amount than 5001. ; bat it will be remarked with
satisfaction that tenders will be received for as
small • sum as 1,0001., instead of 5,0001.,
as upon the former occasion. The suthori-
ties have also been prompted by the experi-
ence already gained to require that a deposit of five
per cent- shall accompany each application. It will
be recollected that, owing to the neglect of this pre-
caution, a portion of the previous issue was not taken
up after being subscribed for.
Yesterday being the 4th of the month, a good de-
mand for money was experienced in commercial
channels, but the rate for first class bills did not
exceed 21 to 21 per cent, and at the Bank the busi-
ness continues-limited. The bills falling due appear
to have been generally well met, the exoeption
being as referred to below.

The 82,8221. in gold by the Avon will reach Lon-
don to-day, and is expected to be taken for trans-
In' 'ion to the Continent.

Ths wheat utarket yesterday was quiet, at Mon-
day's rates.
Messrs. Hyde, Hodge, and Co., a highly respec-
table firm in the Honduras trade, stopped payment
yesterday. Three bills were returned on Tuesday
afternoon, the answer given being "Present again,'
and but for the premature publicity given to the
matter it is understood that the house would have
received assistance. Even now an attempt is being
made to enable it to resume payment. Probably
either a meeting of creditors will be called, or some
definite arrangement come to before the 17th inst.,
when the next mail for Honduras will be made up.
The accountants engaged are Messes, Coleman, Tur-
quand, Youngs, and Co. The liabilities are estimated
at less than 100,0001., and it is confidently stated
that the estate shows a very large surpluv. A con-
siderable proportion of the assets, however, consist of
stock and property in Honduras, and the interests
of the firm in that quarter may be prejudiced by the
unexpected stoppage. Subjoioed is a copy of the
circular issued this day:

&eat Bt. Helens, August 4, 1668.
We regret to toform you that owing to the procure of
circumstances, we have been under the necessity of suspend-
leg our payments. We have placed our books to the hangs
of Messrs. Coleman, Tarquin:A, Youngs, sad Co. and we
shell at the earliest possible Derkd lay before • meeting 1 oar
creditors a full statement of our effsins—until then, we have
to request your kind forbearanoe.—We are, your most
obedient invents,
(Signed) HYDE, HODGE, AND CO.

A copy of the following notification from the
committee of Mexican bondholders was yesterday
posted up in the Stock Exchange. The delay which
has apparently occurred in the transmission of the

With reference to the market for hided and leather,
the monthly circular of Mears. T. I. and T. Powell
reports as follows:
The leather trade of the past month has been extremely
animated; the sales have beet continnotudy is mess of the
supplies, so that stocks are in general nearly absorbed, and,
consequently, prices of almost all descriptions of goods show
•decided advance. The importation and higher value of the
raw material have to some extent stimulated the demand for
the manufactured article, and the belief that leather was at
its lowest point being generally entertained, has excited a
desire on the part of dealers to Mamma their storks, hitherto
unusually small ; while the prospect of a large home consump-
tion, which an abundant harvest afford', in connexion with
extensive government requirements, renders the position of the
market one of confidence for the future. In raw goods the
transactions are also very large, for home as weU as foreign
amount. Three public sales have been held during the
month, and the prices at each, as wall as the sales by private
contract, show a rapidly upward 00111118, and leave diminished
stocks of nearly every article. In Liverpool also very ea-
tansies Wee have been made at similarly advanced rates.

WIDNPSZAT Evinturs.

There was a general impression in the Stock Ex-
change this morning that the balance of the Indian
loan was upon the point of being issued, yet the tends
remained decidedly firm, and an advance of k to 3.16
per cent. was even at one period attained, ander the
influence of some considerable bona fide purchases.
Late in the afternoon, however, when the official
notification was generally circulated (being pub-
lished in the Express), some sales were pressed,
and a little heaviness prevailed. Neverthe-
less, the closing quotations were only about 1-16 per
cent. below those of yesterday. In some instances
existing securities may be brought to market, with a
view to er-investment in the new loan, but confi-
dence is inspired by the evidences presented on all
aides of the eagerness of the moneyed public to ab-
sorb securities of an undoubted character.

Consols, which closed yesterday at 96 to 1 for
money and to-morrow's settlement, opened this
morning at 961 to 1, touched 98 3-16 to 1, reoeded
late in the afternoon to 96, " sellers," and closed at
96, exactly ; or 95 16-16 to 96 1-16. For the 7th
September the last price was 961 to 1. The rate of
" continuation" was 1. to 3.16 per osut. The official
business report is as follows:—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 96, 961, 961, 961; ditto, for
&mutt (sth August), 96, 961, 961, 961; Three per
Cents. Reduced, 961, /, 1; New Three per Cents.,
961, 1, I ; Long Annuities, (expiring in January,
1860, 11; Bank Stook, 2261 • India Stock, 217;
Three.and.e-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling
payable in May, 1869, 100/.
The New Three-end-a- per Cents. were also
officially marked 101; and the Five per Cents., 114.
The Indian Four per Cent. Debentures of the first
issue were slightly weaker to-day, being marked
991 and 98/, upon the annonnoement of the new
issue. _ _

The March Exchequer Bills were quoted 36e. to
38s. prem., and the June at 235. to 265. prem., show-
ing, in the former ease, a decline of le.
In the foreign. stock market the principal move-
ment was in Mexican Bonds, which were in active
demand, owing to the news referred to below. The
highest price touched was 211 to 1, and the dosing
quotation 211 to 1. Turkish Six per Cents. receded
in the afternoon to 961 to 971. The Guaranteed
Four per Cents. were quoted 1031 to 1041
ex div. The scrip of the new Brasilia
Loan has declined to to 1 prem. Peru-
vian Bonds remain firm; the Anglo-Peruvian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. were quoted 90 to 91;
the Three per Cents., 70 to 71 ; the Four-and.a.
Half per Cent. Dollar Baud., 791 to 801 ; and the
Gribarrenßonds, 80 to 81.

Bank shares remain very steady. Those of the
Commercial Bank and Oriental Bank were more in-
quired for to-day. In the market for miscellaneous
shares, Mediterranean Extension Telegraph were
firmer, and Crystal Palace shares a little Batter,
closing at I to 1 9-18. London Dock stock was
officially marled 107 and 1081 ; and St. Katharine
Dock 931 to 93! ex div.
The shares in the Red Sea and India Telegraph
Company were again largely purchased to-day, and
closed at 1 to # prem.
Tho demand for colonial government securities
continues. Canada, New South Wales, and Victoria
Government Bonds, were all quoted higher.
There is also an increased inquiry for many de,
scriptiona of American State Stocks.
