Two O'CLOCK.
At the first ordinary meeting to-day of share-
holders of the London and Colonial Bank, the
report stated a branch had been opened at Mon-
treal, and that it was the intention of the directors
to establish offices in Toronto and other parts of
Canada ; also to extend operations to the British
West Indies, New York, and Chicago.
The official returns relating to the trade and
navigation of the United Kingdom for the past 9
months, viz., to the 30th Sept., 1863, have just been
published, from which it appears that the total de-
clared value of the exports during that period was
£104,294,713 against £93,672,434 in the like
period of 1862, showing an increase of £10,622,279.
The chief increase has been in cotton manufactures
and yarn, beer, and ale, earthenware, haberdashery-
and millinery, hardware and cutlery, linen manufac-
tures, silk manufactures, and woollen and worsted
Manufactures. The importations of the principal
articles were larger as regards raw cotton, provi-
sions, sheep and lambs' wool, coffee, sugar, tea,
timber, tobacco, and wine. The shipping accounts
exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage em-
ployed in the foreign trade of 472,673 tons for the
entries inwards, while in the clearances outwards
there is also an increase of 45,842 tons. In the
coasting trade for the nine months, 32,282 tons
snore were employed than in the corresponding
period of 1862 for the entries inwards, and there
was an increase of 185,102 tons in the clearances
outwards.

Consols have sustained a decline of per cent. this
morning, and the quotations are now 93 f for trans-
fer as well as the account. This retrograde move •
meat has been due to sales, and to the heaviness of
the French Rentes. The decline, however, is not
important, and a few purchases will, no doubt,
bring back prices to their former level. The New
Threes and Reduced ;Annuities are 91 1; and
Exchequer Bills, ls. dis. to 2s. prem.; the 5 per
Cent. Loan is steady at 1091 1; and the Bonds are
higher at 19s. 235. prem.
In the Foreign Market there is very little ani-
mation, and prices are not so buoyant. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1858, are 701 e ; do., 1862, 714 s ; do.,
Consolides, 53k ; Mexican, 41: I; Greek, 30: ;

Venezuelan, 61: i; and the Confederate Loan,

In the Railway Share Market the settlement of
the account occupies the principal attention of the
dealers and speculators, and prices have in some
instances exiiibited more firmness. North Eastern
(Berwick) have advanced 5e., Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincoln 155., and North Western and Mid-
land, £l.
The Foreign and Colonial shares continue in-
active, at about former rates.
Bank Shares continue dull, at about former quo-
tations. India Land Mortgage are quoted 3to 31--
premium ; Angio-Austrian, a prem. ; Imperial
Privileged Bank of Austria, par a prem. ; and
East London, 2 to 31 prem.
In the Miscellaneous Market, Royal Mail Steam
haveimproved to 811; Discount Corporation are
quoted 81 to 9.1 prem.; and Mercantile Credit, 3
to 31 prem.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
More firmness is observable in discount circles
this morning. The enquiry for accommodation has
been increased to a trifling extent by the members
of the Stock Exchange, who are borrowing money
to provide themselves with the means for settling
their accounts in foreign bonds and railway shares.
Three months' bale cannot therefore be negotieted
under 3f percent.
