MONEY MARKET.-{THIS DAY.)

Offs o'Osocz.

The amount of business in the Stock Exchange
to-day is limited, and the tone of the markets is
Bat. The continuance of wet weather is regarded
as an unfavourable feature, and has caused
additional sales. The settlement in Con-
sols, which will be completed to-morrow, also
indicates some considerable speculative operations
for a rise, and the rate for continuing transactions
to the new account has accordingly slightly ad-
vanced. The English funds are dull, but the
present prices are not below those last
quoted yesterday. English railway stocks, how-
ever, have further receded. Midland is espe-
cially heavy, the dividend just announced
for the half year having caused much
disappointment. London and North Western
stock is exceptionally better, upon the official noti-
fication of a proposed distribution at the rate of
of per cent. per annum, being slightly above the
estimate lately current. Other securities, includ-
ing foreign bonds and banking and financial shares,
exhibit no movement of importance.
The demand for money is moderate, and the
supply large. The rate for choice bills is lit to l
per cent., and fur short advances in the Stock Ex-
change,

Consols are quoted 91 to i for money
and to-morrow's settlement, and NA to i for
the new account (Sept.). The Three per Cents.
Reduced and New Three per Cents. are called
933 to I.

The railway market is heavy, and prices have
again given way. Midland stock has declined 14
per cent. ; Great Northern A, 1 ; ditto original, 4;
Metropolitan, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, and
London, Chatham, and Dover, 4 ; and Great
Western, South Eastern, and Great Eastern, 4 ;
London and North-Western, however, is 4 better.
Subjoined are the quotations :—London and North
Western, 1104 to 1114 ; Great Western, 414 to
42 ; Midland, 1144 to 115 ; Lancashire and York-
shire, 1274 to / ; Caledonian, 1094 to 1104 ;
Great Northern, 1094 to 1104 ; ditto A, 1084 to
1094 ; Great Eastern, 274 to 4 ; South Eastern,
634 to I ; Metropolitan, 1214 to ; London,
Chatham, and Dover, 154 to 16; and London,
Brighton, and South Coast, 484 to 49.
Foreign stocks are inactive, and the only change
in the speculative descriptions is a rise of 4 per
cent. in Italian of 1861, viz., to 484 to f. Turkish
of 1862 are quoted 66 to 57 ; ditto of 1868, 304 to
; Greek, 121 to 134 ; Spanish Passive, 21 to 4 ;
ditto Certificates, 16 to 4 ; and Mexican, 154 to 4.

are quoted 25 to 27 ; City, 13 to 14 ; Imperial
Ottoman, 24 to 1/ dis. ; London and County, 85
to 86 ; London and Westminster, 90 to 95 ; and

Financial shares show no movement, apart from
a rise of ss. in General Credit, viz., to 2i to 2} die.
International Financial are called 2i to 21. dis. ;
London, 24 to 23 dis. ; and Credit Foncier,
51 to dis.

American securities have improved 1 per cent.
The present prices are annexed :-5-20 Bonds, 731
to 1 ; Erie Railway shares, 44 to 1 ; and Illinois
Central, 761 to 77.
Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Eight
per cent. preference shares are slightly lower, at
171 to 18, and 31 to 1, respectively.

AAL?-PAST THREE O'CLOCK.

The share markets are generally better, owing
to a purchase of 300,0001. stock on account of a
leading joint stock bank. Consuls have unproved
per cent., the present quotations being 941 for
money, and Nil to j for the account.
About 87,0001. in gold has been sent into the

Some interest attaches to the approaching elec-
tion on the 30th inst. of a director in the union
Bank of London. By the terms of the articles of
association the choice on previous occasions has
devolved upon the board, but under present cir-
cumstances, for the first time in 28 years, the de-
cision rests with the shareholders themselves. Mr.
G. S. Nottage is one of the candidates, having re-
ceived a requisition to stand from a large number
of influential proprietors. On the other hand, his
return is opposed by a portion of the present board,
who have lately brought forward a nominee of their
own. It is to be regretted that this contention
should take place. If the shareholders select an
eligible candidate—and there can be no doubt Witt
Mr. Nottage is one—it is an ungraceful act for the
directors, or rather some of them, to oppose his
election. The inference is sure to be drawn that they
are actuated only by the desire to control abso-
lutely all the elections of new members to their
board. The interference is the moreeztraordinary
when it is remembered that the course of recent
events has taught directors more than one sharp
lesson, and has demonstrated that, however sub-
servient shareholders may have been some time ago,
the period of dictation on the one side, and of
blind submission on the other, has entirely passed
away.
The directors of John Crossley and Sons
(Limited) have just declared an interim dividend of
15s. per share for the past half year, being equal to
15 per cent. per annum.
At the meeting of the Banking and Commercial
Permanent Benefit Building Society, held yesterday,
the directors' report was adopted. It stated that
" the result of the second year's operations enables
the directors to divide, as on the last occasion, 6
per cent. per annum, which absorbs 2081. 34. &1.,
and including 41/. 10s. Gd. brought over from the
last account, to carry forward 185/. Os. 4d. to the
profit and loss new account. In addition to this,
the sum of 2,4881. 10s. 9d., being the proportion
of interest not yet due on advances, is carried for-
ward in suspense for future profits."
The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 3,8141. over last year ;
the London, Brighton, and South Coast, an in- '
crease of 4,175/. ; the Metropolitan, an increase of

6441. ; and the Glasgow and South Western, an
increase of 4651.

The traffic return of the Grand Trunk Railway
of Canada for the week ending the 20th ult., shows'
a decrease of 2,7741., compared with the corre-
