CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

Adviccs from Bahia state that the 4th section of
the Bahia Railway has been opened for traffic, CORI-
Pleting about 50 miles out of the entire length of
77 miles, and that the remaining 27 miles are ex-
pected to be finished by about the end of the year.
With reference to the new Venezuelan Loan, it
appears that the committee of the Stock Exchange
yesterday,',after deliberation, resolved to adhere to
the resolution previously adopted, viz., to defer the
appointment of a settling day until the formal rati-
fication shall have been received by tr. c)ntractors.
This is expected to arrive from Venezuela early
next month.

An instalment of 10 per cent. falls due on the
new Russian Loan on the 10th inst.
About £117,000 in gold was taken to the Bank

to-day.

The Scotia, from New York, has brought
£120,000 in specie, and the BavarialXB,ooo.
The tendency of the foreign exchanges this after-
noon was again unfavourable to this country, the
decline being promoted by the purchases of silver
on the continent for transmission to India in pay-
ment for cotton.

There seems to be a considerable want of financial
management or foresight at St. Petersburg, since
the steamers in connection with that city bring gold
hither and carry it back on each trip. The Em-
peror, which arrived at Hull on Saturday last, had
£150,000 on board which was duly transmitted to
London, and the party to whom it was given in
charge is now actually carrying back to Hull be-
tween £200,000 and /300,000 to be shipped for the
return passage of that steamer to-morrow. If the
Government, instead of requiring gold to be sent
on account of the instalments on the recent loan,
were to draw bills on London, and sell them to the
merchants at St. Petersburg, the latter would be
saved the trouble and expense of shipping specie in
discharge of the claims of their English correspon-
dents, and both parties would be gainers by the
arrangement.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The imports of specie during the week have
amounted to £686,000, and the exports to £764,000.
The public sales of foreign colonial wool have
been brought to a close to-day. During the series
107,000 bales have been offered—the largest quan-
tity on record.

The London directors of the Grand Truk Rail-
way of Canada have issued a copy of the accounts
as they have just been received from Canada for
the half-year ending the 30th June, 1862. The
total revenue amounted to £382,992 12s. 10d., and
the total expenses to £319,556 98.5 d., or at the rate
of 83/ per cent. The profits upon this half•year,
added to that of the previous six months, Makes
the profit for the year ending 30th June, 1862,
£159,144 is. 11d.

The Money Market closes this week with a very
quiet and easy appearance. A little more activity
was occasioned by the monthly adjustment of com-
mercial accounts, but the effect was less importan t
than usual, although a considerable quantity of paper
arrived at maturity. So abundant were the available
supplies that the requirements of the mercantile
community were provided for without disturbing
the ordinary course of affairs, and the market could
scarcely exhibit a more tranquil aspect than it does
at the present moment. The extraordinary low
minimum now prevailing at the Bank of England
will not admit of much greater facilities being
offered elsewhere, but the Joint Stock Banks and
private discount establishments anxious to employ
their available balances are negotiating choice bills
at 11 per cent., and they are thus enabled to secure
a good deal of business that might otherwise be
taken in Threadneedle-street.

Two O'CLOCK.

Only a small amount of business has been nego-
tiated in the English Stock Market to-day. At
one time, however, a few buyers came forward,
and their operations led to a temporary improve-
ment, Consols then being 031 K for money,
and 93 for the account. Since then, how-
ever, a little flatness has prevailed, and the
latest prices:are 93t- and 931 a- respectively.
Numerous transactions have taken place in the
Foreign Market. Italian 5 per Cents. have re-
mained steady at 70& s. The Egyptian Loan is
marked 011, being a little firmer. Mexican have
also tended upwards, the official prices being
301 The Peruvian Loan has been sup-
ported at 6 discount to par, and there has
been no change in the Portuguese or Venezu-
elan loans. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, have con-
tinued at 85 86 ; those of 1858 have been dealt in
at 67 671; the Scrip of the New Loan has been
11 1 dis. ; and the paid up portion, 66 661. A
farther slight improvement has taken place in
Spanish Passive, the quotations being 191 I.
In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been very restricted, prices, however, have shown
rather more firmness. Caledonians, Lancashire and
Yorkshire, North -Westerns, and North Eastern
(Berwick) have improved Sc.; Great Northern A
Stock, 103.; and Midlands, 15s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
without any material change in values. 2

SURREY.—THE HOPPING SEASON.—Daring the
past week we have had first-rate weather for the hops. The
Farnham hops this year, we understand, are very good, and
those growing in the neighbourhood are also spoken of as
being in fine condition and very large. It is estimated that
the crop will yield, on the average, between 7cwt. and Bcwt.
to the acre. In the parish of Farnham there are a great
many acres cultivated, and large numbers of " hoppers,"
comprising gipsies and poor people out of employment, are
beginning to flock into the town, ready for "picking,"
which will be pretty general next week. The newly esta-
blished hop fair at Farnham will be held in the early part
of October.
The receipts on the German railways are gene-
rally increasing. On the Magdeburg and Halberstadt line,
the dividend for the last year amounted to 22i per cent.;
an that of the Magdeburg and Leipsic line, 17 per cent.; and
that of the Leipsic and Dresden line, 151 per cent.o
dividendOn the
other hand, eight German railways have given n
at all. These latter are local and short branch lines.
INTERNATIONAL EXIIIBITION.—The visitors yes-
terday were—By season tickets, 5,086 ;by payment
(half-
a-crown), 15,514—t0ta1, 20,600.
A thousand patents have been issued by the
United States for improvements in ploughs, 750 of which
114Y0 been granted within the lest lb you,
