telegram, 69fr. 76c. for the account.

Consols are officially marked 981 to 1 for money,
and 981 to } for the amnia. The present

Consols have receded / per cent. since 2 o'clock,
the present quotation being 961 to L both for money
and the soocuutt. A similar decline has also taken
place in the scrip of the New Indian Loan—the
price is 1031 to 1.

There is still a fair demand for money in com-
mercial channels, and the instances in which bills
are discounted at a reduction off to i per cent. from
the Bank minimum appear to be of a somewhat ex-
ceptional character. At the Bank, however, the
applications, though rather more numerous yesterday,
continue limited. The balk of the advances made
daring the shutting of the transfer books have now
been repaid.
The Indian Fireend-a-Ralf Cent. Rupee Loan,
which remains at Bombay at 6 per omit. discount,
is quoted here at a price equiv nt to 99 to 99i per
cent.

No operations in bullion were effected at the
Bank yesterday. The Dover Castle has arrived from
Melbourne with 78,191 ounces of gold, worth
313,0001., a portion of which will probably be sent
to the Continent. In lat. 10 N. she spoke the
Yorkshire, which has 118,0001. in Australian gold.
It is announced that the Secretary for the Colonies
has appointed this evening (Thursday), at 6 p.m., to
MOM the deputation of merchants and others inte-
rested in the Cape colony, whose object is to repre-
sent to him their concurrence with the petitions of
the colonists for the re-appointment of Sir George
Grey as Governor.
It appears from the Tasmanian papers that several
public meetings hays been held in the colony in con-
nexion with the gold discoveries. At one, on the
9th of August, Mr. H. J. Emmett stated that speci-
mens of quartz from Circular Head (the Van Die-
men's Land Company's property) averaged as high
as eight nines of gold to the ton, and some even 16
onuses. Half a ton of quartz had been forwarded to
Melbourne to be crushed, and the result would
soon be known. Exploring parties were about
to start far Campbell's Range and the
River Hollyer. A company had been formed,
called the Peoples' Quartz Crushing Company.
At another meeting, held at Leith (River Forth),
Mr. Smith, who had found gold in the district, men-
tioned that " on each of his three journeys he had
discovered gold to exist—first on the Wilmot, a river
running into the Forth on its western side, and on
his two latterjourneys on the Forth, above the junc-
tion of the Wilmot, and some distance below the ford
at the Middlesex Plains. It was thus evident that
an extensive area was auriferous." He expressed
an opinion that " the district on the south of Mid-
dlesex Plains would prove still richer than that on
the north, but that a large extent of country on all
sides would produce more or less gold."
Shareholders in the London General Omnibus
Company continue to wonder when they will
receive the dividend of 2s. 6d. per share which was
declared many months ago. As soon an the
managers are in a position to make this distribution,
the shareholders will doubtless be required, before
touching it, to register ; and this many of them are
very loth to do, until more light shall have been let
in upon the Company's financial position.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of no lees than
10,6251., compared with the corresponding week of

as to the company's land, and to advise with the

The half-yearly interest is advertised on the City
of Melbourne loan.

The accounts of the general government of the
United State. for the fiscal year ending 30th June
last illustrate the progrem which the country is
making toward recovery, and the °respects which
exist of the speedy redemption of the floating debt
now represented by treasury notes. The balance in
the treasury on let July, 1838, was 6,398,318 dole.;
actual receipts from all sources, including treasury
notes and loan during quarter ending Sept. 30,
1858, 25,230,879 dole. ; actual receipts during the
three remaining quarters of the fiscal year 1868.9,
38,679,391 dole.: ordinary means for the year,
70,208,687 dole. The expenses, on the other band,
have been less than the estimate made at the treasury
department. The expenditure of the first quarter,
ending 30th Sept., 1868,waa 21,708,198 dole. ; actual
expenditure during the three remaining quarters of
the fiscal year 18689, 48,326,283 dole.: total expen-
diture daring the year, 70,034,482 dole.; total in-
come, as above, 70,208,687 dole.; excess of income
over expenditure, 174,106 dole. The balance in the
treasury on July 1,1869, was 11,174,105 dole., being
4,110,806 dole. in excess of that estimated by the
Secretary to the Treasury in December last.
The position of the market for American securities
is thus noticed by Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite

participated in the upward movement which has taken place
m the Stock Exchange during the past week. There ie, how-
ever, an improved demand for United States Five pet Cent.
Bonds, 1874, at an advance of per cent. The quotations
for railroad securities ere unaltered, moos for Illinois Shares
and Construction Bonds, which are per cent. higher.
