CITY NEWS-SATURDAY.

The Oriental Bank have received £500,000 bonds,
expiring 1892, part of about £1.780,000 authorised
by the Government of New South Wales. Permis-
sion has been given for their quotation in the official
list of the Stock Exchange, but the committee have
intimated an opinion that, instead of these bonds
being issued privately as heretofore, they should be
regularly advertised and offered to the public.
The specie from New York by the Scotia is
£260,000. The quotation of gold on this occasion-
-241 pm.—shows an advance of t per cent. on the
highest point previously attained, and, the rate for
bills on England being only 137 to 27 it is to be ex-
pected that further large sums will be brought by
the next steamer.

The specie to be taken by the India and China
mail steamer Ripon on the 20th is £369,073, distri-
buted as follows, viz.:—£32,468 in gold for Alex-
andria ; £1,630 in gold for Ceylon ; £40,000 in
gold for the Mauritius ; £5,099 in gold and £35,000
in silver for Madras; £47,400 in silver for Cal-
cutta; and £207,476 in silver for China and the
Straits, the latter item comprising .£77,187 remitted
to China by Government.

A prospectus has been issued of the West Africa
Company, with a capital of £250,000 in shares of
£lO, of which one half will first be issued. The
direction is respectable, and the object is to facili-
tate the trade with the natives by the establishment
of stations and factories on the coast to which they
can bring the various productions of the interior,
and, especially at the present juncture, to obtain in-
creased supplies of the indigenous cotton, which,
according to the best and most recent testimony, is
available in large quantities whenever the means of
purchase, cleaning, and shipment shall have been
furnished. The company do not propose to become
cultivators of any article, but will act simply as
purchasers, and they call attention to the fact that
the trade of this regiun is doubly important to our
manufacturers from the circumstance of its being
carried on almost exclusively by the barter of
British goods.

There is still a rather active inquiry for money,
and full rates are enforced for the negotiation of
even the best descriptions of securities.
At the ensuing meeting of the Royal Mail Steam
Packet Company a dividend of 2 per cent. will
be proposed.
The traffic receipts of the Dutch Rhenish Rail-
way for the fortnight ending September 30th,
amounted to £10,236 7s. 61d., and for the cor-
responding period of last year to £9,564 lls. Bd.,
showing an increase of £671 15s. 101 d. in favour
of the present year.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
during the last week were generally less satisfac-
tory. The woollen trade of Leeds was dull, owing
to the unfavourable weather. At Manchester the
progress of events in America still influence opera-
tions; in cloths and yarns prices, however, have
shown less firmness. The hosiery trade of Leices-
ter and Nottingham have been dull ; while in the
hardware districts, viz , at Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton, there has been little change of

THE ADVENT OF WINTER.—SHIELDS, Saturday
Night.—Last M oaday Admiral Fitzroy sent a storm signal
down to the seamen of the Tyne to "look out for squalls,"
and it had not been up many hours before squalls did break
over the coast with considerable violence. We had storm
signals hoisted again last night, and this warning had not
been up above a couple of hours before another violent
Storm of wind broke upon the coat from the south-west,
accompanied by a heavy shower of sleet and rain; and to-
night another warning has been hoisted, that a dangerous
cold and
nucil yezhpeotaed
expectedr from the southward, and the weather
looks threatening, though the night is starlight and frosty.
There is still corn out in the hill districts and the more
parts of the coluttry,

The leading country markets, held on Saturday, were hut
moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand ruled in-
active, at previous quotations. Barley was decidedly firm
in price, but oats, beans, and peas met a dull inquiry. The
flour trade, on the whole, vas steady, on former terms.
On the continent, the business doing in wheat is very
moderate, at late rates. Advices from New York report an
advance in the value of wheat and flour, with a good de-
mand for export.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain
were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 51,346
qrs wheat, 1,631 barley, 18,345 oats, 2,330 beans, 217 peas,
180 tares, 30,836 linseed, 16,299 rapeseed, 3,220 maize, 3,030
sundry, 6,530 sacks, and 8,509 brls flour.
Fresh up to Mark-lane, this morning, the arrivals of I
English wheat were small, and the supply left ever from
Friday having been very moderate, the total quantity ex-
hibited for sale was somewhat restricted. On the whole,
the condition of the produce was tolerably good. For both
red and white qualities, there was a decidedly better de-
mand, and at the close of business, a fair clearance had
been effected, at the full prices of Monday last.
The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was
large. In nearly all descriptions a good retail business
was transacted, and previous rates were well supported.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily at full cur-
rencies.

The supply of barley, both English and Foreign, was
very moderate. Malting qualities, good parcels of which
were scarce, sold freely at an advance of Is per quarter com-
pared with Monday last. Grinding and distillihg sorts
were in steady request, and the quotations ruled firm.
Fine old malt was in demand, at extreme rates. Other
kinds moved of steadily, at full prices.
The supply of oats was moderate, and the inquiry for
them ruled inactive, on former terms.
Mazagan and egyptian beans sold heavily, at barely
late rates; but tacx and harrow descriptions fairly sup-
ported previous quotations.
Peas were without change as to value, but the demand
for all qualities was far from active.

In most kinds of flour,., a moderate business was trans-
acted, and the quotations were steadily maintained.
