The funds twit, 4111 very quiet. Prises are

day. The govOrtmatit broker ha made hie usual

18th Oct., and 16th Nov.
French railway shares have again advanced, in
response to the movement of the Paris Bourse, where
the fortnightly settlement, just concluded, shows a
limited supply of shares afloat. English railway
shares are still prejudiced by the spirit of competi-
tion and extravagance which prevails in the board-
rooms, and Canadian railway shares by the un-
settled char►cter of the political advices from
Toronto.

In the discount market yesterday a fair demand was
experienced, the general rate for choice bills being
2*
.per cent. The Bank still get sce•vely any
business.
The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday,
principally ex the America, from New York, was

200,0004 in two days.
Of the 145,1001. in gold brought by the America
from New York, 50,0001. in American eagles was yes-
terday taken for transmission to the continent. The
amount left at Liverpool—viz., about 56.0001.—is
believed to consist of sovereigns, which have pru-
babiy been sent into the branch of the Bonk of Eng-
land there.

It is understood that the Perm will file out, on
the 20th inst., about 50,0001. in silver for Calcutta

64,1664
A meeting was held yesterday of the shareholders
in the Alliance (France and England) Bank. The
report presented state. that the business has fallen
off one half since the commencement of last year.
The decline is attributed to the late crisis, and the
consequent stagnation of trade. The profits to June
30 amount to upwards of 26,0001., or equal to a divi-
dend of 21. 10s. per share, but it wrs agreed to post-
pone the consideration of a dividend until the next
meeting in September. The manager remarked that
it was proposed by the board to pay off at par those
shareholders who might desire to retire. This is
probably contingent upon the wish of the majority
to reservers with the undertaking, the position of
which Is prejudiced by the refusal of the Stock Ex-
change to admit the shares to the privilege of official
quotation.
It in officially announced that the agreement for
the transfer of the Maria Antonia Railway to the
Lombardo-Venetian Railway Company has been
annulled, and that the directors of the former un-
dertaking have declared the following dividend,
viz. :-6a. per share of 601. ; 3s. 4d. per share of
331. Bs. Bd. ; and le. per share of 101.

TCIIB DAY SVEIDI•.

Business in the funds was to some extent inter-
fered with by the uncertainty which prevailed in
the morning respecting the Indian loan negotiation,
coupled with the absence of many members of the
Stock Exchange. The market, however, showed firm-
ness, and at one period a rise of per cent. sou
presented. The closing quotations were about 1-16
per cent. above those of yesterday. Confidence is
stimulated by the rise on the Paris Bourse, by the
favourable tendency of the exchanges, Continental,
Indian, and trans-Oceanic, and by the continued
influx of gold into the Bank.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 961 "sellers,"
