the Stock Exchange to-day, and the peersl ten-
dency of prices is upwards. Nearly all the

quence of the favourable character of the

The Mexican dollars by the steamer Seine were

quarter. Some inquiry is also observable for bzir
silver for Bombay, and the quotation is firm, at

The ondlohted ineniorand tni is hum the Tfor
and Malt Exchange :
At the Hop and Malt Exchange to-day the hnp trade
continued inactive, and it is said that, ministering the low
rates ruling, there can hardly be remembered a time when
ro little demand existed. A few choice parcels of East
Kents were taken at from 100 s. to 120 s. per cwt. Inferior
qualities were altogether disregarded. Reports from Wey-
bill fair of esty's burins were unsatisfactory, and
it is believed that no MISS of any magnitude were effected.
The malt trade was quiet at late rates, and in the corn and
peed departments quotations had a drooping tendency.
Oil cake was firm, at advanced rates.
The following is the official return of the cheques

The week's total is mot unsatisfactory. Wednes-
day, the 14th, was the first day of the dividend
payments. For the corresponding week of last
year the total was 68,253,0001., but that included
a Stock Exchange settlement.
The weekly return of the Bank of France shows
the following changes (the exchange being taken
at 25fr. to the pound) :
Coin and bullion Demme 8880,000
Bills discounted
Not is circulation
Private deposit&
Treasury balance Diereses 133,600
Advance*
From the further considerable decrease in the coin
and bullion, accompanied by an increase in the
discounts, there may be room to infer that trade
in France is improving a little.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Oct. 14, compared with
that for the previous week, shows the following
changes:

Circulation issue £34,083,870 Decrease £609,06.5

Public deposits 3,83+1,119 Decrease 1.468.505
Other deposits 20,231,481 Increase 2,209,03.5

Total reserve (notes& coin)
in banking department 10,646,335 Decrease 411,695
This return shows the effect of the payment of the
dividends, which commenced on Wednesday, tho
14th. The government deposits have been trenched
upon to the extent of 1,468,5413(., in spite of &min
further large leans obtained by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer from the Bank on government se-
curities—probably " Deficiency bills." As, how-
ever, no immediate employment could be found in
the market for the dividend money, it was
largely transferred to the private deposits, which
show an increase of no less than 2,209,0:15/.
The unusual smallness of the advances taken
from the Bank during the last few weeks is shown
by the fact that the decrease in the " other " secu-
rities is only 231,894,f. The result of these various
changes is that the payment of the dividends thus
far has been accompanied with a reduction of only
411,695/. in the reserve. On the import and ex-
port transactions of the week the Bank parted
with a net sum of only 10,000/. in gold: and the
above return indicates therefore a continued ab-
sorption of coin far beyond what is tonally expe-
rienced at this period of the quarter.

TIIE'WENT PROSECtTION FOR Doti Flowrlxo.
Mr. Colam, the secretary to the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Annuals, writes to UP to say that
the society had nothing whatever to do with the prosecu-
tion of two men at the Clerkenwell Police-court on Tues-
day. for setting two dogs to light, and had no knowledge
of the proceedings until the appearance of our article yes-
terday. Mr. Comm adds To prevent this society from
doing injustice to human beings, tt is my duty and my
anxious study to sift the evidence in every came taken be-
fore a magistrate; and that the precautions and cari,
which aou so properly suggest are successfully taken here
will be best shown by the record of mons thsn 99
victim's in every lOU of prosecutions instituted by tho
