SOUTH YOIIISEIIOI RAILWAY.—It appears from
the report of the directors of thin company that the total
am-as income has been 81,6891. Os. 7d. earned in connexion
with both the navigation sod the railway ; the expendi-
ture has been 35,4111. 9s. 4d. ; leaving 46,2771. lls. 3d.
available for dividend and interest. The passenger traffic
has produced 8,093!. 4s. 91., the merchandise 8,470!. 6s.
lid , and the mineral 34,650 t. 3s. 7d., and the navigation
29,7951. 6s. 1.1., being an increase as compared with the cor-
responding period of last year of 4,6711. Els. 2d. The quan-
tity of coal airried during the half-year has been 489,374
tons, against 444,446 for the corresponding period. The
directors state that the marked improvement in the traffic
receipts has remelted in a dividend of 4 percent., and that the
increase in the receipts is mainly due to the recent traffic tr-
=rait. with the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire
ay Company, and the extension of the line to Yeadby,
which was opened for traffic last antnmn. The coal trade,
which had been unusually depressed in 1659, was now in a
better position. The recent disputo between the colliery
izvtetors and their men, which had redwood the weekly
receipts since the Ist of July, had been arranged
within the past few drys, although at some of the pita
there were yet some minor differences. The extension of
the line into Sheffield bad been somewhat retarded in conse-
quence of thecompany not obtaining poreasion of the laud
DO amt., as was requisite. Arrangements had now been
completed, sad they could proceed with the works, which
were being pushed on as rapidly as possible. 7.7801. will be
asked for for additional works and siding, 3,0001. of which
will be for improving coma on the Thorne and Keedby
line ;1,400f. for signals and points and other necessary works
at Hexthorpe ; 1,210.'. for waiting rooms at various stations ;
700 f. for additional carriages, no.

MMIIeriIABEET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'Cuicx.
The stock markets to-day are decidedly firmer,
owing partly to the improvement in the weather.
A recovery of per cent. has taken place in Consols,
and of to per cent. on most of the principal
British railway stocks. Turkish Bonds have par-
ticipated in the upward movement.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr.

than yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 921, 4, and 1 for

sent quotations are 924 to 93 for sash, and
93 to 1 for the 6th of September. The official

Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 964, ; ditto Five-
and-a-Ralf per Cent., 1014, 1024 ; Exchequer Bills,
2s. to 4s. prem. . . .

A rally of to per cent has likewise taken

that establishment continue steady, but not
pressing.
An instalment of 8 per cent., making 66 per
cent. paid, fell due yesterday on the Canada Loan of

addressed by Turkey to the English government
she offers to make the British consuls at various
ports the recognised receivers of the customs reve-
nues, and to hypothecate these revenues specially to
a new loan which England, in conjunction with
other powers, is solicited to guarantee. It is hardly
likely that an application of this character will be
taken into serious consideration by our government.
The Tasmanian, for the West Indies, will take
11,6201. in silver.
la explanation of the apparent reduction of 5}
'per cent. in the price of Midland Railway stock,
we may mention that the price is now quoted ex
the half-yearly dividend (31 per cent.) and also ex
the new issue of stock, which is at the rate of 61. 5a
for every 1001. now held. The stock being at 24
per cent. premium, the bonus presented to the pro-
prietors is about 11. 10s. per cent.
Red Sea Telegraph shares have fallen to 171 to
18/ ex div. In other words, a government uncon-
ditional annuity of 4} per cent. for fifty years is at

A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of
Messrs. Charles Cornell and Sons, of Rochester in
the boot and shoe trade. The business of the firm
has been to export boots and shoes to its corres-
ponding house in Melbourne, Messrs. Cornell
Brothers ; and its embarrassments have arisen
from the depressed state of the Australian markets
and the consequent difficulty in selling goods unless
at greatly reduced prices. The liabilities of the
house here are estimated by the partners at
18,5001., and they propose to pay in full in the
course of 18 months, on the receipt of remittances
from Australia. The goods at Melbourne
will not be sold until the market improves.
The bills of Cornell and Sons were dishonoured in
April last, but it was agreed that they should be
renewed for six months, the partners anticipating
that they would be able to get through their diffi-
culties. Their correspondents in Australia, accord-
ing to the last advioes, had not stopped payment,
and are not expected to do so ; their assets are
stated at 23,0001., to meet 7,0001. of colonial debts.
It was proposed that the meeting should be ad-
journed await the next advice' from Australia,
and to allow the books to be examined by a pro-
fessional accountant. It was finally resolved, how-
ever, to agree to the proposal of the firm, but three
of the creditors are to look into the accounts.

A meeting was also held yesterday of the creditors
of Mr. John Craft, jun., provision merchant., of
Knightsbridge, whose liabilities are estimated by
the accountant, Mr. W. J. White, of Ironmonger-
lane, at 9,973/., and the assets at 4,9231. It was
resolved to accept 9s. in the pound.
A meeting of the creditors of Mr. B. M. Abbott,
of the Bow Brewery, is called for Thursday next.
With reference to the market for American secu-
rities, Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., report as
follows : . . . .

During the past week the market for Americas State
stocks has continued to show great firmness ; the demand
for all descriptions continues, whilst the supply is vary
limited, prices in New York being generally lusher than in
London. The chief business in the railroad securities is
still in the bonds and shame of the Illinois Central and Now
York and Erie railroads, which hays further advanced in
prioe.
