MONETARY REPORTS.-YESTERDAY.

A healthier feeling has been prevalent in the Stock Ex-
change to-day. Business has been more freely entered
into, and a fractional improvement has taken place in the
value of both railway stocks and the principal specula-
tive foreign bonds. English Government securities have
been strengthened by the purchase, £lO,OOO ; New Three
per Cents. at 914, on account of the commissioners for
the Reduction of the National Debt. Consols have risen
per cent., or to 912, 91A for delivery and December.

to 12s. prem. India Five per Cents,, 1121, 113 i, and
India, Bonds 21s. to 265. prem. The demand for
Colonial Government Securities has been to a moderate
extent, at about late rates.

The market for English railway stocks has been firm,
and the recent decline has been about recovered. Cale-
dobia.n, at 76:2, ; Great Northern A, 1352, 1361: and

attention. Bombay, Baroda, and Central India have
marked 10.5 k ; East Indian, 1101, R ; Great Indian Pen-
insula, 1061, ; Oude and Rohilkund, 10:3-1 ; and Scinde,

quiry. Bahia and San Francisco, 181 ; Dutch Rhenish,
23 ; Great Luxemburg, 12 ; Lemberg Czemowiti, 17 ; and
Lombards, 142.

More steadiness has been observable in the market for
foreign bonds, and a fractional improvement has occa-
sionally taken place. Italian (1861), at 56, 561; Turkish
(1869), at 531, 541; and Egyptian (1868), at 782, 79, shew
a rise of A. Turkish Five per Cents. are I betterat 462, 47.
Mexican have been lower, at 142, 15. In American Securi-
ties not much business has been doing, but prices have ruled
firm. The Five-Twenty (1882) Bonds are quoted at 89i,
891; ditto (1885), 88g, 831; Erie Shares, 181, 19 ; and

In Bank shares not much business has been doing, but
prices have ruled firm. Agra A, 8a Anglo-Egyptian,
242, 243 ; Consolidated, 43 ; Imperial Ottoman, 12g, 121.
Telegraph shares have been in moderate request.
British Indian Extension, 6.} ; British Indian Submarine,
71 ; Falmouths, 10g ; Great Northern, 111 ; French
Cables, 141.

The inquiry for miscellaneous securities has been only
to a moderate extent. Anglo-Mexican Mint, 13, 13i ;
Hooper's Telegraph Works, 5g ; Peninsular and Oriental
Steam, 49T.
The failure is announced of Messrs. G. Perez and
Rudolf°, of Valparaiso, with liabilities for £140,000.
At a meeting of the Vancouver Coal, Mining, and Land
Company (Limited) it was shewn that there was an avail-
able balance of .£4,523. A dividend at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum was declared, after payment of which
there will remain a balance of £393 to be carried forward.

The bullion operations at the bank to day, comprise the
purchase of £50,000 in bar gold, and £1.2,000 sovereigns,
from Australia, and the withdrawal of £6,000 sovereigns
for Switzerland.

Bills, generally, have been in demand to-day, and the
rates of exchange have been rather easier.
The failure of Messrs. Morgan and Jackson, yarn
wents, of Manchester, is announced, with liabilities of
£lO,OOO. The liabilities of Messrs. Brown, Hunter and
Company, general brokers, of Liverpool, are returned at
250,379, and the assets are trifling, consisting chiefly of
bad debts. The liabilities of Mr. John Reynolds, of
Liverpool, provision dealer, amount to nearly £38,000,
and the assets to £9,500. _ .

The discount market has been well supplied with
capital. The demand for accommodation has been to a
moderate extent, and three months' paper has been
negotiated at 21., 2} per cent. .

The liabilities of Messrs. Bewley, Webb and Co„ ship-
builders of Dublin, will, it is thought be about £150,001,
The reputation for good work earned by this firm
has extended to the most distant parts of the globe,.
The Knight Commander, the first ship launched from the
yard, was the only vessel which rode out that most fearful
cyclone at Calcutta unscathed ; and the little steamer
Manila, contrary to the expectation of many national
wise-heads, having safely weathered the storms of the
Atlantic and Indian Oceans, now plies in the
waters of the Phillipine Islands, the only steamer
on the coast. In Liverpool their name stands high, and
several ships have been built for merchants of that town.
The Mullingar, Lady Wodehouse, Countess of Dublin,
and Countess of Erne are amongst the chief Dublin ves-
sels built by the firm. The books of the firm have been
placed in the hands of the accountants, and it is
hoped that this present collapse will be found not irre-
mediable.

The traffic return of the London, Brighton, and South
Coast Railway shows an increase of £328. The South-
Eastern traffic has increased £B2l.
