The City of Baltimore which left Liverpool yes-
terday for New York, took 81,8291. in specie. A
further sum will be shipped on Saturday by the
Africa.
It is believed that the accounts from New York
by the Kangaroo answer to the intelligence of
the rise in the Bank of England rate of discount
to 8 per cent., which took place on the 14th of
February.
Owing to the diminished demand for the East,
chiefly consequent upon the dearness of money
here, the price of bar silver has receded to N. op.
per ounce, being Id. below that obtained for the
supply by the last packet.
The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was firm.
The sales comprised 10,000 bales.
It is confirmed that arrangements have been con-
cluded at Paris whereby the whole of the large
amount of outstanding Constantinople bills drawn
on M. Mirlis ou account of the Turkish Loan will
be provided for. Nothing was wanting but the
signature of the Turkish Minister. This is very
satisfactory intelligence.
The fears of the stockholders have been realised by
the announcement, made yesterday, that the Grand.
Trunk Railway Company of Canada are not able to
meet the interest due the 15th inst. on the stock of
the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Company, which is
leased by the Grand Trunk.
The annual meeting of the Ottoman Bank share-

will propose a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent.
per annum free of income tax, and an addition of
5,0001. to the reserve fund, leaving 5,8001. to be
carried forward to next account.

The Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs has
I communicated through the ambassador in London
to the directors of the Ottoman (Smyrna to Aidin)
Railway the granting of a new concession, by which
the company aro empowered to issue 250,000 L. 6 per
cent. debentures for five years in lieu of that
amount of capital in shares. An extension of three
years is also authorised for completing the line to
Aidin. The company, in fact, obtain all that they
asked for. T:.e Turkish government deserves credit
for the liber.dity which it has displayed. in the
matter, but which is really its best policy, if it
wishes foreign capital to be embarked in public
works.

the Jura, and the intelligence of the action of the Poses
Conference. Today the market was very buoyant, Illinois
Central touching 24 dis. ; and Erie, Di ; but on the arrival

the extent of the demand and in pnoes. Almost all articles
meet a limited inquiry, without any large tnuisactions.
The supplies are not excessive, and stocks do not increase.
Market bides are unaltered in value, with a small supply of
heavy hides. Foreign hides have moved more freely. Some
considerable ales of South American bides have been made
at former quotations, and some Australians have found
buyers also at previous rates.
