MONETARY REPORTS.- YESTERDAY.

The publication by a leading contemporary of the
draft of a treaty, which has been under process of con
sideration between France and Prussia, and the ratifica-
tion of which would have undoubtedly compelled
England to have engaged in hostilities with the above-
mentioned countries, threw the stock markets
again into a state of confusion, and caused a heavy
reduction in values. Eventually, however, on the
rumour gaining currency that the rejection of this
treaty by Prussia had been one of the causes
of the war between that country and France,
confidence in some measure returned, but a lingering
source of irritability at the perfidiousness of France was
still apparent. Towards the close of business, although
there was a complete absence of any approach to activity
in the demand for any class of security, the tendency was
less favourable. All descriptions of stock have partici-
pated in the uneasiness, and have fluctuated in sym-
pathy.
In the consol market there has been a renewal of de-
pression, and notwithstanding that prices do not close at
their worst, they shew a fall of per cent. At one period
of the day the price fell 89a, but it subsequently re-
covered to 89-i to 892 for delivery and the account.
Reduced and New Three per Cents. 892 to 892 ; Bank
stock has marked 232 to 234. Exchequer Bills, 2s. to 6s.
prem. India Five per Cents. 110 f to 1102, and India
Bonds, 20s. to 255. prem.
In foreign bonds very few transactions have taken place,
and prices have receded in most instances. Spanish,
Italian, and Turkish each shew a reaction, as well as
Egyptian, Prussian, and United States Five-Twenty
Bonds. Spanish have fallen 2to 1; Turkish (1865), 1;
ditto Five per Cents, 2 ; ditto (1815), 2 ; Egyptian
(1868), 1 ; Mexican, ; Peruvian, ; and United States
Five Twenties, per cent.
English railway stocks have been depressed, and, with-
99t,e?iception, the movements have been unfavourable.
Great Eastern, Great Northern A, North-Eastern, and
North-Western, each shew a decline. Metropolitan has
fallen 1, Caledonian 2, Brighton South-Eastern Great
Northern 1, ditto A 2, Midland 3, North-Western
Great Western and North-Eastern 3i.
In Indian Railway stocks there has not been much
inquiry, nevertheless prices have been maintained. Cana-
dian shares have been almost entirely neglected, scarcely a
transaction being recorded either in Grand Trunk or Great
Western. Foreign shares have been dull, and Lombards
have receded

In Bank shares the business has been to a very moderate
extent. Anglo - Egyptian have fallen 1, and Imperial
Ottoman I.

Telegraph shares have been dealt in to a very moderate
extent. British Indian Submarine have fallen it.
Miscellaneous securities have commanded but little
attention. Telegraph Construction have fallen
The report of the Crddit Foncier of England (Limited),
shews that during the last half year there has been a profit
of £29,903, equivalent to a dividend of nearly
6 per cent. on the reduced capital of £1,000,000.
Of this sum £6,937 has been produced by
what may be termed windfalls, but the remaining
portion of the profit of £22,155 has been made
upon considerably less than half of the capital. The
company has also paid off £40,000 of the loan raised on
its debentures, but also £11,473 by way of interest and
bonus on this loan.

At the meeting of the shareholders of the London
Financial Association, Mr. John Borradaile in the chair,
the report of the directors was adopted. It was stated
that the liabilities had been reduced £53,000 during the
half-year. Proposals had been received in regard to the
Muswell Hill property, which were likely to be accepted.
At Mark-lane to-day the favourable harvest prospects
caused a reaction in the grain trade, and prices gave way
3s. per quarter on both English and foreign wheat. It is
believed that a large portion .of the crops of Northern
Germany will be sacrificed, as the harvest has not yet
been commenced there. A few samples of new wheat
from Cambridgeshire were exhibited to-day, but their
quality was very indifferent, and they commanded very
little attention.
The numbers of 134 certificates of the Roumanian Go-
vernment Iron Bridges Annuity issue have been drawn
to-day for redemption according to the terms of the pros-
pectus, and will be duly advertised in a few days.

to £45,000 by the withdrawal of £.5,000 on account of the
depreciation of squatting properties. The deposits held
are £782,259, and the paid-up capital is £600,000.
