YESTERDAY,

Business in the Stock Exchange to-day has been to a
very moderate extent. For both railway stocks and
foreign bonds the inquiry has been limited, and the fluc-
tuations have been mostly of an adverse nature. The
severe drought, and the unfavourable aspect of agricul-
tural affairs, continue to exercise a depressing effect in
the consol market, and prices have receded per cent.
For delivery the quotation has been On 92-1 ex div. ;
and for July, 92k, 92i. ex div. ; Reduced and New Three
per Cents 921, 92a, Exchequer Bills par to ss. prem.,
Bank stock 234, 236, Indian Five per Cents 111, 1111 ex-
div., and Indian bonds 21s. to 265. prem.

For English railway stocks there has been but little
inquiry, and the fluctuations have been generally un-
favourable. Metropoliton at 650 is higher, but
Caledonian is lower, at 78k. Great Northern A, lat
134, Great Eastern k at 410, Midland 0 at 132 i, London
and North Western at 130 a, Great Western at 74k,
and North Eastern 1i at 147 h.
The traffic receipts of the London and North Western
shews an increase of £16,336.

been doing, and prices have given way. Italian (1861)
have fallen ; Spanish, ; Egyptian, ; Mexican, ;
Argentine, 1; and Turkish Five per Cents., per
cent.
The new Peruvian loan has fallen to dis to par, and
the Spanish to 2i to 21 prem.

stocks, and the quotations are unchanged. Canadian
shares have been quiet and unaltered. In foreign shares
very few transactions have taken place, and the quotations
have been unchanged.

struction Bonds endorsed, payable in sterling in London,

dation, and three months' paper has been charged 2/1, 3

per cent.

The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce states :—" We
learm from Scotland that Messrs. Gow Brothers and Co.,
handloom manufacturers, Auchterarder, have stopped
payment, but the amount of their liabilities has not
transpired. Through this stoppage it is feared a great Lum-
ber of handswill be thrown out of employment. Dublin
advices report, in connexion with the recent suspension of
William Power, flour miller, that a firm in Cork offered
to guarantee 9s. in the pound to the creditors on condi-
tion of the business and assets, &c., being trahsferred to
them, and subsequently advanced their offer to 10s., but
that it was ultimately agreed to hand over all to Messrs.
M`Mullen, Shaw, and Co., flour merchants, of Burgh-
quay, Dublin, who have also agreed to secure 10s. to the
creditors, and who will in future carry on the concern on
their own account."

hope of prices giving way more, as producers chew more desire
to push sales, their engagements not being so numerous, and
the cattle market shewmg signs of weakness.

MIDNIGHT BETTING AT THE WEST END.
Wednesday.
The Gold Cap was tha only event touched upon during
the evening, the New Stakes merely resulting in inquiries
after one or two of the candidates engaged. Muster and
Sabinus, the two post entries, were staunch favourites for
the Oup, and between the pair there was little to choose, and
on them 60 to 50, 5 to 4 to £75, and other bets were laid.
Morns was in steady request, at 6 to 1, despite s general im•
pression that she would not start. Hester at 10 to 1 had
some trifling support, brit even money was betted against her
running, and beyond these Trocadero at 8 to 1 was the only
animal really backed, 10 to 1 bar this lot being freely
offered.

UNANIMITY OF TEE IRISH PFOPLE.—SOITIe friends
of the National Lifeboat Institution in Dublin are now
organising a national bazaar in aid of the support of the
twenty-eight lifeboats the institution has placed on the
Irish coast at an expense of about £16,800. The appeal
has met with an unanimous response—people of every
grade, Protestant and Roman Catholic, appear to be anxi-
ous to promote this humane undertaking in every way
in their power, and it is expected that the Irish Grand
National Bazaar to be held in the course of the present
year at Dublin will be a great suocess. The ladies of the
different towns and counties have taken up the matter
with great energy ; and, of course, upon their continued
efforts depends in a great measure the success of the Irish
Great Lifeboat Bazaar.
