CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

A general meeting of the Scinde Railway Com-
p.tny is called for the 25th Scpternber.
The shares of the London, Buenos Ayres, and
River Plate Bank were allotted to-day. The ap-
plications are stated to be of a very good class, and
a bet cficial effect is likely to be exercised open the
compa iy's business.
The Indian Branch Railway Company (Limited)
have received advices from Mr. Wilson, the engi-
neer in chief, in which he states that the works are
progressing rapidly, that the line from Nulhatee,
on the East Indian Railway, to Moorshedabad,
r.bout 27 miles, will be open for traffic in January
next, and that unquestionably the line will be com-
pleted within the estimate.

Of the total of £1,000,000 sterling in silver de-
spatched from this country some time ago to Con-
stantinople on account of the Turkish Loan, not
more than £400,000 has yet reached Paris, the
amount mentioned a few days ago.

The attention of the trade is directed to a consi-
derable rise in the price of jute, occasioned, ap-
parently, by orders from America.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Some of the alterations in the Bank of England
return for the week ending Wednesday are impor-
tant, but they were full expected, owing to the
usual increase of circulation at this period of the
year, and the necessary preparations for the monthly
liquidation of mercantile accounts. There is an
increase in the bullion, but it is small in comparison
with the influx of gold during the week over which
the balance-sheet extends, but this is accounted for
by the augmented demand for coin in connection with
harvest operations. The reserve of notes, partly
for the same reason, exhibits a diminution. The
discount operations of the establishment have been
temporarily enlarged, but it may be concluded that
a large number of the securities held by the autho-
rities when the return was completed have since
arrived at matarity, and the next statement may
ecnsequently show a contrary movement. Sub-
joined is our usual analysis :

The Banaria has arrived from New York with
£24,440 In specie.

The receipts on the Ottoman Railway (40 miles
open) for the week ending the 24th ult. are £176
larger than in 1861, when, however, only 27 miles
were open.

The traffic returns of the French railways for the
last week show a falling off of £3,103 on the new
lines of the Orleans, but an augmentation of £2,636
on the old; an increase of £3,417 on the Midi;
and of £1,841 on the Ardennes.
The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro•
duce Markets daring the last few days have not
been very extensive. Sugars have sold slowly,,and
only the finer descriptions have supported previous
prices. Coffee has been dull without material change
in quotations. Tea at public sale has realised for-
mer rates, while rice, fruit, and spices have been
in moderate request, and in some instances at a
slight advance. For tallow there has been a more
active demand, and late quotations are well main-
tained for both present and future delivery. P.Y.C.
on the spot is quoted 485., and spring delivery
495. 9d. per cwt.

Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool cotton market to-day was dull,
and sales about 1,500 bales.

The Paris Three per Cent. Rentes this morning
opened at 69f. 40c., showing no change.
The English Stock Market has remained ex-
ceedingly dull, the quotations being almost nominal.
Consols are 93; I for money, and 931 t- for the
account. There is an absence of speculation, and
only limited operations for bona fide transfer;
affairs, consequently, present an extreme degree of
inactivity. The New Threes are marked 91i 92 ;
the Reduced, 91; 921; and a bargain is recorded
in the 21 per Cents. at 76/. India 5 per Cents. are
firm, at 1093; the 4 per Cent. Debentures are
100; 1011 ; and the Exchequer Bills, June, remain
at 19s. to 225. prem.

The movements,in the Foreign Market are equally
uninteresting. Two or three bargains have taken
place in Egyptian, at 91 for the first issue, and at
7 prem. for the second. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854,
are nominally 85 86 ; those of 1858 are 681 t, and
the New Loan 111 die. ; Italian 5 per Cents. are
tolerably steady at 707 711. The Peruvian Scrip,
which was so buoyant yesterday, and closed
at dis. to par, is now 3 a dis. The Por-
tuguese and Venezuelan Loans remain unchanged.
Dealings are recorded in Equador New Consolidated
at 171 ; in Russian 4-1- per Cents. at 91 91, and in
the paid up Scrip at 94—the other portion, with
£23 10s. subscribed, being steady ; Spanish 3 per
Cents. Deferred are firm at 44d 1-; Passive have
risen a per cent., namely, to 191 ; and the Certi-
fice‘tes have also been buoyant at 9 a Dutch 4 per
Cents. are quoted 1031.
Business in the Railway Share Market continues
very dull, and a slight decline has taken place in
one or two of the principal undertakings. Great
Westerns and London, Chatham, and Dover have
receded 53. ; Great Eastern, 10s.; and Great
Northerns, 15s. ; London and Brighton, however,
have advanced lOs ; and Midlands, Son th Westerns.
and South Elsterns remain at about previous rates.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have been exceed-
ingly inactive, without any material change in quo-
tations. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian
realise 221 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 21; and Gleat
Indian Peninsula, 103.
Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
a shade firmer, Union of London realise 311 4 ;
London and South African, 201 ; Alliance of Lon-
don and Liverpool, 114 ; Electric Telegraph, 101,E ;
and Crystal Palace Stock, 35.
