The Scinde Railway Company paid yesterday to

The following remarks upon the tobacco trade
are from Messrs. Grant, Hodgson, and Co.'s
monthly circular :

" With an apparently quiet market last month the sales
were of considerable magnitude, the total being 3,048 hhds.,
viz., 29 Virginia leaf, 13 strips, 1,192 Kentucky leaf, 156
strips, and 1,658 hhds. of Maryland. For home trade buyers
have generally abstained from increasing their stocks, and
have not been much influenced by the advanced prices de-
manded by holders. A considerable portion of the above
sales, especially Kentucky leaf and Maryland were taken on
speculative account, and holders are now asking id. to
per lb. advance on last month's quotations. Sales of
most sorts of substitutes have been very extensive, and
consumption has considerably increased. The deliveries,
up to date, have been 3,733 hhds. more than last year, and
stock is 5,628 less than at the corresponding period of 1861.
Latest ad vices from America have brought advanced prices,
and some descriptions, particularly heavy Kentucky leaf,
are quoted at higher prices than in this market."
The monthly bidding for bills on India took
place at the Bank of England to-day. The
amount offered was Rs. 38,00,000, and the mini-
mum prices declared were the same as last month,
viz., ls. lltd. per rupee for bills on Calcutta, and
ls. Dad. per rupee on Bombay and Madras. The
applications within the limits amounted to nearly
150 lacs.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A large amount of business is still negotiated in
discount circles, and bankers and brokers are now
busier than they have been for some time past. The
additional activity is the more apparent in conse-
quence of the extreme quietude which recently pre•
Tailed, but up to the presnt time little actual move-
ment of importance has taken place, the increased
inquiry having arisen from temporary influences,
while the rates have scarcely varied more than
per cent. Even now the mercantile classes are
enabled to obtain accommodation on short dated
paper at 11 per cent., and long dated paper is freely
negotiated, showing consequently an impression
among capitalists that no change of importance is
likely to be experienced for some time to come.

A final call of £2 per share (making £2O paid)
has been made by the directars of the London and
South African Bank, payable on or before the 30th
inst.
