MONETARY REPORTS Y
_ ESTERDAY.

Although the panic on the Exchange has considerably
subsided, there has been much uneasiness apparent.
The various departments have been very un-
settled, being alternately steady and depressed ; and
numerous fluctations have taken place in values. At
the close the tendency was unfavourable, but the fall in
prices was by no means severe. No movement of impor-
tance has taken place in railway stocks. As regards
foreign bonds, Turkish were at one time dealt in at an
improvement of fully 1 per cent. compared with the
last prices of yesterday, but at the close there
was a fall of per cent. The election of the Duke of
Aosta has not as yet benefitted the quotations of Spanish
securities, and we haze to-day to chronicle a further
decline of a per cent. Consols have ruled heavy
in sympathy at a reduction of per cent.,
the quotation for delivery and the account being 914,
92, for delivery and the December account ; Reduced and
New Three per Cents., 901, 90g ; Bank stock, 231, 233 ;
Exchequer bills, 10s. to 15s. prem. ; India Five per Cents.,
1111, 1121 ; and India bonds, 225. to 275. prem ; Colonial
Government securities have been in limited request, and
the fluctuations have been trifling.
Depression has continued the feature of the market for
foreign bonds, and a fractional reduction has again ensued
with the exception, however, of Egyptian which at 72. i,
73k, are t better ; and of Portuguese, which have risen 1.
Spanish (1867) have fallen a, or to 30, 30i ; ditto (1869) or
to 294, 301; Turkish Five per Cents area lower, at 40, 40i;
Russian Anglo-Dutch and the Midlai Railway bonds
have relapsed 1. The French loan has closed at 3, 2 dis.
American securities have been very quiet. The Five-
Twenty (1882 and 1885) bonds have fallen 1 and
respectively.
English railway stocks have continued very quiet, and
an average decline of per cent. has taken place in
values. Metropolitan, 621, 63 ; Caledonian, 761, 76i ;

sular, 1041; Madras, 104} ; and Oude and Rohilkund,

been doing. Luxembourg, 101; and Lombards, 131, a.

Falmouths, 101 ; Silver's Indiarubber, 35i, 361 ; Telegraph
Construction have been I better, at 251, 26.

doing. Berlin Waterworks, 15 ; Credit Foncier of Eng-
land, 2 1-16, 21,- : General Credit and Discount, 61 ; Hud-
son's Bay, Bi.

At Mark-lane to-day there has been a good attendance,
and wheat has been firm at 2s. to 3s. per quarter more
money. Spring corn has risen fully ls. per quarter.
The bullion operations at the Bank to-day comprised
the withdrawal of £5,000 in sovereigns for South
America.

As regards the exchanges the principal feature has been
a fall of 2 per cent. in the rates on St. Petersburg, and
the quotations generally are flat.
In the discount market a want of animation has been
apparent. Capital has been tolerably plentiful, and three
months' paper has been taken to 2i to 2i per cent.
The Liverpool Journal of Commerce states that " We re-
gret to announce the suspension of Mr. J. Aman, cotton
and produce broker, with liabilities for about
£lO,OOO. A meeting of creditors, under the
proceedings for liquidation by arrangement. instituted by
Messrs. W. C. Miller and Sons, shipbuilders, Garston, was
held at the Law Association Rooms to-day. A large
number of creditors were present, and a statement of
accounts was produced, which disclosed unsecured
debts amounting to £24,680, those secured £9,602,
and other liabilities £292. The assets were esti-
mated at £20,606, being stock-in-trade £6,700 book
debts £12,590, furniture £l7O, and surplus in hands of
secured creditors £1,146. A proposal to liquidate by arrange-
ment was made but not carried, the principal creditor
aesenting. The meeting eventually broke up without any
resolutions being passed, consequently the proceedings to
bankruptcy, which bad sheen previously initiated, will be
continued, Mr. Bolland acting as receiver."
The failure is announced of Messrs. Dicksons, Board-
man, an I Co., of Liverpool, with liabilities for about
£50,000.
