CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

There were no gold operations at the Bank to-
day. The total taken► there since the date of the
last weekly return is 1244,000, and about 150,000
or 200,000 s )vereigns have within the same period
been withdrawn for Turkey.

A further call of £2, making £lB paid, is to be
paid on the shares in the London and South
African Bank by the 26th Sept.

return shows this week an increase of £8,480, and

It has been announced by Messrs. Baring
Brothers and Co. that they have been instructed, in
paying the current dividend on the sterling bonds
of the Michigan Central Rail Way, to deduct the
income-tax of 3 per cent, lately imposed in America
by the Washington Government. This proceeding
on the part of the Company seems wholly in-
equitable, if not illegal, and should the precedent
be followed, as will most likely be the case, in
other American bonds of similar character, it will
add greatly to the distrust in which the securities
of that country are held.
Mexican dollars being scarce, pending- the arrival
of the Mexican packet, some amount by the Qua en

of for China at 612 d. per ex. The price has fluc-

and 62d.
