The Stock Exchange markets this morning pre-
sent an improving tendency, and speculators appear
once more disposed to close their "bear" accounts
and operate for a rise in prices. Accordingly, all
descriptions of stock are buoyant, and affairs exhi-
bit a more favourable aspect. The Funds have
recovered 4 per cent., Consols being 90Z- 91k for
money, and 901 lex div. for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 ;
Exchequer Bills, 9s, to 4s. dis.; and India 5 per
Cents., 1041 t.

at the Freemasons' Tavern on the 21et last, to be held

The discount market is now assuming a quieter
appearance, although no change can be noted in
the quotations. The mercantile classes have very
generally over supplied themselves with accom-
modation, and with the less demand for money
now experienced, capitalists are beginning to
evince a disposition to work at the Bank of Eng-
land minimum. The large number of bills, how-
ever, that have as yet been brought forward have
been charged 9 to 92 per cent.

About £82,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
on Saturday, but 100,000 sovereigns Were with-
drawn for transmission to the Brazils.

The Star of Tasmania from New Zealand has
brought £83,240.

The condition of trade in the manufacturing dis-
tricts during the past week has been exceedingly
active. At Manchester, however, the market for
cloths has been slightly affected by the increase in
the rate of discount, but at Leeds, Huddersfield,
Halifax, Leicester, and Bradford, a large inquiry
prevailed for all descriptions of goods. At Bir-
mingham and Sheffield great buoyancy has been
noticed, manufacturers having received large orders
both from the country and abroad.
A special meeting of shareholders of the Bank of
London was held to-day for the purpose of increas-
ing the capital by the additional SAM of £200,000,
which is to be divided into 2,000 shares of £lO
each. Sir J. V. Shelley, Bart., M.P., who occupied
the chair, moved the adoption of the necessary resolu-
tions, and observed that while other kindred insti-
tutions had progressed the Bank of London had
exhibited still greater advancement. The direc-
tors had always been actuated by a policy to
secure the confidence of the public, while at the same
time promoting the interests of the shareholders.
The amount expected to be realised by the premium
on the new shares would represent £140,000, which,
added to the reserve fund, would raise that item to
an amount as to preclude the necessity of increasing
it out of the ordinary earnings every year. The
resolutions were agreed to nem. con., and the thanks
of the meeting voted to the directors.
