There is only a moderate demand for discount,
and the rates for the best bills of three months are
64 per cent ; the terms for other descriptions
being in a proportionately reduced scale. The sup
plies of money aro more than sufficient for the re-
quirements of trade, and the absorption for other
purposes is not large enough to create activity in
dizaount circles.

About £17,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
ycsz,:rday.

The Oneida, from the Brazils, has arrived at.
Lisbon, with £5,563, en route for England.

Daring the last few days there has been a
moderate amount of business in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been in
fair request at full rates, while coffee has generally
sustained previous prices. In tea there has been
little or no change, while rice, fruit, and spices
have been dealt in to an average extent without
material change
.as regards values. The tallow
market has been rather Tale, and prices have
remained steady.

The prospectus of the Chamonix United Hotels
Company (limited) is published, with a proposed
capital of .ClOO,OOO, in 5,000 shares of -c2O each.
Deposit ,E 1 per shire, and a further sum of 30S. on
allotment. The prospectus states that near 1,500
shares have been already subscribed for. The
directors, who are gentlemen of standing, announce
that the company is formed for the purchase of the
seven hotels which are situate at Chamonix, with
which place and hotels the public are more or less
familiar from the graphic descriptions of the late
Mr. Albert Smith. They have entered into satis-
factory arrangements for the entire purchase of
them all. The estimated average of visitors to the
world-famed Chamonix is 15,000 annually; and
from a close calculation, resulting from that number

as a basis of cllculation, at the ordinary rate of
charge, a dividend of la per cent. is anticipated
upon all investinEuts in this company, The details
'will be found in another column.

The shareholders of the British and American
Exchange Bank held a meeting to-day to receive
the resignation of the eight directors who had re-
signed their posts. Mr. Gordon occupied the chair,
and made a lengthy statement in favour of the
positio❑ assumed by his colleagues. After some
discussion the resignations were received, and
Messrs. Edward Lawrence, E. C. Dickson, Thomas
Stc;ck, and Jameson were elected in their place.

ae.ed to-day in the Market for the Enpish Funds,
