PENINSI'LAR, WEST INDIAN, AND SOUTHERN
BANK (LIMITED). (THIS DAY.)

A general meeting of the shareholders in this
undertaking was held at noon at the Guildhall Coffee-hotoe,
to hear an account showing the acts and dealing of the liqui-
dator and the manner in which the winding-up has been Con•
ducted during the past year. The meeting was but thinly
attended, there being only two shareholders present, but
the proceedings were or some interest, as showing the
utter collar.: of the company and the extent to which the
shareholders have endeavoured to evade their respon-
sibility.
Mr. CH ATtERIs, liquidator, said he had received from
shareholders ou account of call 2,9931. 95.. and front the
proceeds or the sale of office furniture, 10/. 2s.' making a
total of 3,07:W. I Is., he had expended in petty
payments lie. lid., and in law charges, 4:;91.
Os. I Id.. leaving a balance of 2,1;21/. 13s. 7d. now
at the Bank of England to the credit of the com-
pany. There had been one call of IW. a oh ire
made. pnalneing, as be had stated. 2.993/. 9s. If all the
shareholders bail paid it would have produced 136,800/.
There .were 100 contributories, holding together 13.c.N0
shares. Of these 17. holding together 20;7 shares, had
paid their calls ; two, holding 60, had paid aonie-
thing on account ; three, holding 31 shares, had paid
I in advance of the calls previous to liquidation ; 11, hold-
' ing 52 shares had offered certain sums by way of compro-
miae, and their cases were being inquired into, hut
were not yet settled ; 5, holding 147 shares, had
appealed against being returned on the list of oantri-
I butories ; two, holding 24 shares had been struck off
j the list ; two, bolding 15 shares bad become bank-
rupt ; and 'is. shareholders holding 12,/a1 shares were
either living out of the country or were altogether unable
to pay anything. Some of them were known to
be men of some property, and if they could
be got at through the interference of foreign courts sonic-
: thing would he got from them, but whatever was got would
be insufficient to pay the liabilities in fulL
A SitanEuoi.lign asked what the liabilities of the bank
were? _

Mr. CH Arr Ems said the liabilities consisted of accept•
anees of the bank already claimed amounting to 55,0117.
17a. rd., which were in the hands of bind ride holders; then
there were acceptances to the amount of 27,75 N. given by
the hank, the holden of which had not come forward to prove
their chums, and there were other claims amounting to
10,236/., making the liabilities altogether 102,4107.145. 3d.,
but he did not think that more than 80,000?., would even-
tually come against the bank. Supposing the whole 907. a
share were called up the amount would not yield sufficient
to pay off the whole of the liabilities or anything like it.
The bank held securities to the amount of 40,0001., namely,
acceptances of the Northern Bank of l;uenos
Ayres, 15,000/. ; 30 debentures of the European
Central Railway, 15,0001. ; six 1,0001. bond, of the
Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway, and eight 740.
bonds of the nrne, 10,0001. These securities were
at present inconvertible, and what they would eventually
fetch he could not say.
The SHAREHOLDER—Are you in a position to state what
became of the 10/. the directors called
Mr. Cliarrititts said he was not there to excuse the
conduct of the directors or give any information concern-
ing their proceedings.
The SHMtEIfoLI,F.R said he paid 500/. into the hank, and
had received no information as to what was done with it.
Mr. Citarretus said there were only two shareholders
present, both of whom were defaulters, and he could nut
give them any information to enable them to resist the
calls, hut if they would pay their calls,and wouldattendat
the office, he would give them all the information lie could.
The proceedings then terminated.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

OWN o'Czooz.

There is little business to-day in the Stock Ex-
change, and the general course of prices is unfavour-
able. The investments of the public have for the
moment almost ceased, while the speculative trans-
actions consist chiefly of sales, which are effected in
anticipation of still lower quotations being current
during the next few days. Consols -are still
offered, and have experienced a further reduction
of 1-16 to per cent. British railway securities
are heavy, and show a fall of to 1 per
cent., the chief decline being in Great
Eastern stock. In the market for foreign
bonds, Italian of 1861 have given way, the
recent important rise having induced realisations,
but Turkish are inquired for. The dealings in
miscellaneous shares are very limited, and the
movements unimportant, with the exception of a
recovery of 10s. in London Financial.
There is no new feature in the discount market,
the supply of money being still large, with few
bills offering. The general rate is 3 per cent., but
occasional transactions are still reported at
2L The quotations for six months' paper
shows a somewhat upward tendency. In the
Stock Exchange short loans are obtainable at two
per cent.

Consols are now quoted 90/, top for money,
