There are fewer transactions in the Stock
Exchange markets to-day, and the tone, on the
whole, is rather less favourable. Fresh busi-
ness is checked at the moment by the interven-
tion of the fortnightly settlement, to which
attention is chiefly directed. The funds
are steady, at the closing prices of yester-
day, but a few of the foreign securities
exhibit a slight reduction. English railway
stocks, however, are still inquired for, and a fresh
advance is observable in some cases. General
Credit shares have experienced a further improve-
ment of 2s. 6d., and National Discount are firm.
In the discount market to-day there is a super-
abundance of money, while the supply of bills is
very small. The general rate is 31 to 4 per cent.
Short loans on English government securities are
obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 2to 21 per
cent.
Consols are quoted at 891 to 1 for money, and
891 to A for the account (Nov. 8).
The foreign stock market is rather dull, but the
reduction in a few of the speculative descriptions,
including Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certi-
ficates, and Italian of 1861, does not exceed 1
per cent. Turkish of 1865 have improved 1.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 551 to 561 ;
ditto, 1865, 291 to 4 ; Greek, 131 to 141; Spanish
Passive, 211 to 22 ; ditto Certificates, 131 to 141;
Italian of 1861, 551 to f ; Mexican, 151 to 1.
United States 5-20 bonds and Erie Railway
shares have improved land 1 per cent. respectively,
but Illinois Central have declined 1. The present
quotations are :-5-20 Bonds, 681 to A : Erie Rail-
way shares, 501 to 511 ; and Illinois Central, 664
to 671.
Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph shares
are dull ; the former are quoted 151 to q, and the

We have been requested to mention that the em-
bankments which are stated by the last mail from
India to have been breached inOrissa during the heavy
floods, and to have caused so much damage to the
country, are not those constructed by the East
India Irrigation Company, but works formerly ex-
ecuted by government. The works of the company
have stood the trial satisfactorily,nt a
dind have pro-
tected from inundation the adjacestrict.
At a meeting yesterdayafternoon of the Merchants
Company (Limited) a long discussion took place
with reference to the present position of the un-
dertaking. It was originally intended to have sub-
mitted a plan to-day for the reconstruction of the
concern, but the chairman stated that, tition
had been lodged in the Court of Chancery to wind
it up, it was deemed undesirable at th nt
e present
moment to put forward a proposal for reconstruc-
tion. lie also mentioned that the directors are not
averse to the company being wound up.
Mr. W. H. Holyland, Halooffiquidator of the
Commercial Bank Corporati lndia and the
East, has just issued a long and full state-
ment of the affairs of the bank at the period of its
suspension, and also reporting upon the probable
result of the liquidation under the compulsory
winding up order made by the Master of the Rolls
on the 28th May upon the company's own petition.
The result is satisfactory in so far as it
owls the
s
probability of a surplus remaining r divsion
amongst the shareholders after discharging all
liabilities and the coats of liquidation. There is
a prospect of a considerable dividend being de-
clared to the creditors early next year.
