ibut this is not yet certain.
About 56,0001. of the Australian gold by the
Norfolk we% bought by the Bank yesterday, and
70,0001. of this supply was taken for the Continent.
The Mooltan will take to-morrow only 77,8771.
in specie for the East, of which 7,0761. is gold
and the rest silver. There is none for China
by this opportunity, owing to the discontinuince
of the second monthly mail for that quarter. An-
nexed are the particulars :—For Malta, 6251. •
Alexandria, 1,0001. ; Ceylon, 2,0501. ; Madras,
39 • and for Calcutta, 34,4571.
The Italian Loan of 20,000,0001. is now opened in
Italy; some amount will probably be tried for here.
The private letters from Paris state that the ap-
plications for the four millions sterling of govern-
ment bonds for thirty years have been so enormous
that each subscriber is not expected to ;get more
than 2} or 3 per cent. of the amount for which he
has applied. -

exchange, which was last quoted 175, has expe-
rienced a renewed movement adverse to Turkey,
being now 1824
The suspension is announced of Mr. Jas.
Grieves, of Gracechurch-street, in the Australian
trade, with liabilities to the amount of about
60,0001. The meets consist chiefly of consignme•its
to the colonies, and being of recent date favour-
able expectations are entertained as to the result.
The books are in the hands of Messrs. Cole-
man, Turq Youngs, and Co.
The Liverpool cotton market continues very
strong, under the influence of the American ac-
counts. The sales yesterday amounted to 15,000

shire and Yorkshire a decrease of 34911. ; the
Manchester, Shetfield, and Lincolnshire an in-
crease of 181/. ; the Midland a decrease of

The following report has been issued by the
National Discount Company, in anticipation of
the meeting called for Wednesday next. It will be
noticed that the amount added to the reserve fund
is withinl,BoBl. of the stun recommended for dis-
tribution at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, the
profits of the past half-year having been consider-
able :

The directors bays satisfaction in submitting to the
shareholders the result of their operations for the half-year
Ong 30th June last. By the annexed account it will be
seen that the gross profit amounts to 37,9131.:x. 2d., and
that after defraying the current expenditure, writing off the
usual proportion of the preliminary expenses, and reserving
15,5251. 19e. 7d. for rebate of interest on bills discounted,
not yet due, there remains a disposable balance of 17,459/.
1.01. 3d. The directors therefore recommend the appropria-
tion of 96331. 121. 6d. to the payment of a dividend at the
rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, and that
ibe bdaaml,.B2s/. 17s. 9d., be carried to the credit of the
mem f which, with accrued interest, will thou amount
to 16,1131. 2d. It will be satisfactory to the sham-
kolders to learn that the amount written off in the last
amount is amply sufficient to cover the loss occasioned by
the failures in the leather trade.

The half-yearly report of the director,' of the
Scottish Australian Investment Company, issued in
anticipation of the meeting on the 26th instant,
states the gross profits at 12,7411. A dividend is
proposed at the rate of 10 cent. per annum, leas in-
come tax. This will require 10,0001., and will
leave at credit of the reserve fund 10,246/.

The half-yearly meeting of the North Eastern
Railway Company is called for the Bth of August
at York.

The third series of colonial wool sales commenced
yesterday. Messrs. Dutton and Hincken report that
the catalogue comprised the following wools :-
1,057 bake Sydney, 926 Port Philip, 746 Van
Diemen's Land, 196 New Zealand, 47 Swan River,
25 Adelaide, 7 Cape of Good Hope ; total, 3,003
bales. The attendance of buyers is small, and
prices are generally ld., and on some descriptions
even 14d. lower than in the May! males. The
quantity arrived for the present sales is as fol-
lows:—Sydney, 18,535 bales ; Port Philip and
Portland Bay, 24,086 ; Van Diemen's Land.
10,169 ; Adelaide, 6,459 ; New Zealand, 13,241 ;
Swan River, 903 ; Cape of Good Hope, 8,909 ;
total, 82,302 ; added to which, there will be, of
wools held over from last sales, 5,000 ; making in
all, 87,302 bales. On the whole, the assortment
to-day was very indifferent, and not such as would
create any animation.
Annexed is Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.'s
report of yesterday's hide sales :
At the fourteenth series of public males for the year • '
fair demand for most descriptions was experienced, and
both the louse trade and exporters bought to a fair extent.
SAM 1ND14.-0z and Cow.—tldeutt• were in fair re-
quest, all descriptions sold well, and realised fully last sale's
peen Madras, Pondicherry. and Bombay were mostly sold
at previous rates. The analysis of the sales is 76,127 Cal-
cutta sew parcels, 18,190 brought forward from former
as
and 1,244 Medias, Pondicherry and Bombay, in all
97,661 bides, of which 73,860 were sold.
Burr Inna.—Buffalo were nearly all sold, and realised
full prices.
Lasrasa.—Australian met with but little demand, nearly
the whale offered !Aug bought in, and upon the portion sold
we have to note a decline upon previous latex. Ihet In-
dian : Bombay was in good request at extreme prices, but
the Madras, being oely of middling quality. was dull of sale.
SALTZD lIIDB/L—Aostralian sold irregularly, there being
a fair demand for descriptions suitable for export, while
but little inquiry was experienced on the part of the home
trade for le heavy, which were chiefly bought in. Prioes
aze however, unaltered. Cape wild well. South Ameri-
can : Thome brought forward consisted of damaged hides,
which were chiefly bought in.
DST Htme.—Guatemala were in limited demand. (ape
brought previous prices. West Indian were unaltered in
vales. Zanzibar were mostly bought in. Australian rea-
lized a fair price.
Hosea aIDEIL—South American were all sold at fair
prices.
Bsax.—lfiniess barely maintained its previous value.

The scrip of the new India Loan
~waa in de-
mand for investment in the morning, and improved
to mai to Speculative realisations being them
prze, and the market being influenced by the
heaviness of Consols, a decline took place to
100 1-16 to 3-16, the closing price. The old Five
• per Cent. stock, after being marked,99l, left off at
991 to I.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 901,
"buyers," for the 7th of August, opened tits
morning at the same quotation, and had receded
at the close to 891 to 90. For money the laid
price was 894 to f.
The March Exchequer Bills were quoted Bs. to
4a dia., and the June 3s. die. to is. premium.
There was again a very active demand this morn-
ing for the Turkish Loan of 1858, which experi-
enced a fresh rise, being marked as high as 811,
whilst the 100/. bonds were dealt in at 70. In the
afternoon, however, a number of speculative reali-
sations, aided by news of an'advance in the Coe-
etantinople exchanges, caused a reaction. The
final quotation was 661 to 67, being 1 per cent. be-
low the., of yesterday. The Loan of 1854, after
being marked 803, left off at 791 to 801, being f
per cent. lower than yesterday. Mexican Bends re-
main quoted 22 to . Greek weredesh in at 7/ to fla.
There was a farther iinrirent to-day in
Ottoman Bank and Bank of t shares. Other
bank shares remain steady. here were some in-
quiries for National Discount. South Austmliaa
Land showed heaviness.

takings to-day were as follows :—Ocean Marine
