The public still show little disposition to seek
investments in the Stock Exchange, and very few
bona ride transactions have been reported to-day.
Nevertheless, most of the markets are again better,
upon additional purchases to cover previous specula-
tive sales. The funds have advanced
per cent., and some of the British rail-
ways sad foreign stocks, I to it. Amongst
the latter, Turkish Five per Cent. Bonds
of 1865 continue in prominent request. A few of
the financial shares have also improved, espe-
cially London Financial and Credit Foncier of
England, but nearly all the banking and
miscellaneous descriptions are quoted the same as
on Saturday. Attention will be directed during
the next three days to the fortnightly settlement
in stocks and shares.
The amount of money seeking employment in the
discount market to-day is very large, while there
are few bills offering. The general rate is 31 per
i cent.

The following circular has been seat to the share-
holders of the Otago and Southland Investment
Company (Limited) :
In conformity with the course adopted twelve months
ago, the directors have now the pleasure to inform the
shareholders that the accounts for the half-year ending
31st July last have been duly audited, and that an interim
dividend at the rate of S per cent. per annum free of in-
come tax has been declared. The investments in New
I Zealand, now amounting to 98,2n01., are as satisfactory in
character as in amount. The funds at command have
been all disposed of, and the operations of the company
might have been mos. advautageously extended if inure
money had been received on debenture, but the high rates
ruling here have rendered it inexpedient to make any
fresh efforts in this direction. The directors hope, how-
ever, that the sound position of the company, its increas-
ing prosperity, and the prospect of good half-yearly divi-
dends will, now that the money market has taken a fa-
vourable turn, operate as an induceu ent to all concerned
to take a deeper interest in its success, and to assist by
every means in their power in blinging to it any loans, or
other business, which Liay come within their influence.
A warrant is enclosed for the dividend due upon the shares
standing in your name this day, payable at the Imperial
Bank (Limited), Loudon, on or after the 12th inst.
