Tae prospectus of the Aerated Bread Company
(Limited) published, the object being to establii.h
bakt-ries iii various parts of London for the manu-
facture and sale of aerated bread, under Dr. Daug-
ltsh's patents. It is affirmed that this bread, from
its perfect cleanliness and purity, and wholesome
and nutritious qualities, will supersede the use of
the fermented bread. Machinery is extensively
used, and the flour is never once touched by the
hand. A model bAkery has already been established
by the patentee and his friends at Islington, and 19
other establishments are to be formed. This can
be done by calling up £60,000 on the first issue of
10,000 shares or £lOO,OOO ; but, with a view to an
ultimate extension of operations, the company's
capital is put at £500,000. The company are to
purchase an exclusive license for the entire district
within a radius of 10 miles from St. Paul's. The
general manager has agreed to receive no remune-
ration fot his services till the company shall be in a
position to pay a dividend of 10 per cent.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAI.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is not the slightest alteration to notice in
the general aspect of the Money Market ; the in-
quiries, which are moderate, being readily supplied
upon terms still ranging as low as 2t per cent. The
joint-stock banks and private discount firms make
a concession to the extent of per cent., and, in
exceptional cases, even of per cent., in order to
secure business, which they otherwise would not if I
the rates in the open market were equal to the
official minimum of the Bank of England.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up

A public meeting was held in Manchester last
evening on the question of obtaining cotton from
India, A resolution was adopted calling upon the
Government to construct roads, canals, railways,
bridges, to make the rivers navigable, and to open
out India forthwith so as to enable our merchants
to obtain cotton in sufficient quantities to compete
with America. A commission of enquiry to be in-
stituted by Parliament was also advocated as the
best means to ensure immediate results.
