Two o'Ctocnt.
The funds to-day are rather flatter, although the
weather continues magnificent. A decline off per
cent. has taken place to-day. Little business is
going forward in any department. Several of the
principal English railway stocks, particularly South
Eastern, have improved.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cont. Renter opened at
08fr., ez div., showing no change.

The official business report is as follows :

8434, 4, a ; New Three per Cents., 891, 1, ;
Thirty Years' Annuities, 1885, 151 ; India Five
per Cent. Stock, 1859, 98/, ex div. ; ditto Four
per Cent. Debentures, 1858, 90, 951 ; Exchequer

The foreign stock market is inactive, with little

The bill for the new India Loan passed its third
reading in the House of Commons on Friday night.
About 97,0001. in gold, oldefly bar, was taken to
the Bank on Saturday. The Thema, from Mel-
bourne, has arrived, with 23,554 ounces of gold,
lalmxl at 94,0001. _ _

It appears from a Vienna telegram that the
Austrian government have ordered the resumption
of the payment of the interest on the national loan
in specie. For many months it has been paid in
paper, at a certain rate of allowance, in violation of
the engagement solemnly entered into by the go-
vernment when the loan was raised.

The Money Market Review publishes a letter of
great length, wherein Mr. Canaan the chairman
of the committee of investigation of the Great Wes-
tern Railway of Canada, answers the letter ad-
dressed by Mr. Laiug to the Calcutta journals. Mr.
Canaan reiterates the charges which he has already
brought under public notice.
With reference to the serious charges brought
against Williamson, the insurance agent at Man-
chester, wo are authorised to contradict some state-
ments which have appeared, to the effect that the
Globe Insurance Company'suffirs severely, as well
as the office for which Williamson wall a leading
agent. Williamson bad transactions with several
London offices, and after investigation it appears
that the extent of the claim by the Globe upon his
estate will be about 2261. for fire premiums received
by him. The Globe had ceased to correspond with
bun before the discovery of his alleged mal-
practices.
The prospectus of an interesting undertaking
bearing the title of " The National Company for
Boat-building by Machinery, Limited," 14 issued.
This company is very respectably oonstituted. Its
object is to purchase and • work several patents
secured in this country by Mr. Nathan Thompson,
of New York, for his process of building beats by
machinery. By the concurrent testimony of a great
number of eminent scientific said other authorities,
the merits of the invention are of a very important
character, and the machinery ix at once simple,
efficient, and beautiful. It is contended that boat-
building by the ordinary methods cannot
compete for a moment with the new process, and
that the advantages possessed in the shape of
greater strength and uuiformity of construction,
despatch, and economy, will cause large profits to
be realised. As illustrating the system it is men-
tioned that a cutter, 30 feet iu length, can be de-
livered, perfect in every respect, within a few
hours. The remuneration to the inventor is rightly
made partly contingent on the company's success,
as only one-third of the pureliaao-nioney will be
paid in cash, the remainder being in the company's
shares, upon one-half of which no benefit is to ac-
crue until a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per
annum has been paid to the other shareholders. A
royalty on each boat made is also to be withheld
until 7 per cent. dividend is secured. The capital
is 200,000/., in shares of 101. each. Accompanying
the prospectus is a pamphlet filled with testimonials
from penions of standing who have visited and
examined the temporary works at Victoria Park,
where the invention is in operation.
The Master of the Rolls proposes, on the 22nd
inst., to make a call of 121. per share on the contri-
butorim of the Cameron' Coelbrook Steam Coal
and Swansea and Rougher Railway Company.
A special general meeting of the Metropolitan
Central Hotel Company (Limited) is called for the
22nd inst., to confirm a resolution fur a voluntary
winding up.
The dividends are advertised on Spanish Three
per Cents. and on New South Wales Government
Debentures.

The Peruvian financial agents announce the divi-
donde due the let July on the Uribarren and Arica
