steady rates.

transacted, consequent upon the high prices demanded by
holders. The stocks on hand, however, are rather large.

tion, and prices for both present and forward delivery are
well maintained. P.Y.C. old, on the spot is marked 445,

Advices from India state.that at Calcutta quite a
satisfactory change has taken place in commercial
affairs, especially for manufactured goods.
The report of the directors of the Buenos Ayres
Great Southern Railway Company, to be presented
at the
works ensuofing
the meeting of shareholders, states that
the railway are fast approaching com-
as will be seen from the engineer's report.
There has been some question as to a partial
p
in order to satisfy certain
localinterests,
sd in
a
ei
pletion,
th e directors retain the opinion
xpen
circular issued to the shareholders on
eo e
expressed
ng
e o f the
but
the 27th March last, viz., that the opening of the
line should be delayed until the works are en-
tirely completed, and ready to receive traffic
throughout
hd ergeih gh
t the entire length of the line, after
u the inspection
of the Government sur-
veyors. This opening may be looked for about
the beginning of October. The rapid progress of
the works has necessarily required equally rapid
calls on the shareholders until the full amount of
£2O per share has thus been called up. The direc-
tors are now issuing to the public the £lOO,OOO
debenture bonds to complete the required capital.
They have reason to hope that the entire amount
will be gradually taken up, and that they will be
enabled to close the construction account simul-
taneously with the opening of the line, or very soon
after.

CHOKED WITH A PIECE OF STOLEN BACON.—
The North Riding coroner lately held an inquest on the
body of an old man named John Walton, who was em-
ployed to carry refreshments to a shooting party, and on
his way took a slice of bacon and tried to swallow it. The
bacon stuck in his throat and killed him. He was found
dead on the road.
