Business on the Stock Exchange to-day is dull, and there
is no alteration in the English Funds, the price of Consols
being still 92R to 92k. In Foreign Stocks there is not
much business doing, but Spanish are a shade firmer, and
Turkish barely so good.

The London list for the French Loan has closed. The
subscriptions are understood to have been of a high class,
and in a large number of instances from capitalists inte-
rested alike in the welfare of Germany and France, and
whose most earnest desire is for an honourable termina-
tion of the struggle.
The report of the Buenos Ayres Great Southern
Railway Company (Limited), for the half-year ended
June 30, recommends a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent.
per annum.

Letters from New York from experienced persons
confirm the statements officially made here, that the
receipts of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway are
nearly double the amount returned by the Erie Company
under the lease. The petroleum traffic alone is under-
stood to yield as much as the entire total thus given.
The Glasgow 'Herald states :—" Advices have been re-
ceived from Montreal of the failure of Messrs. Rimmer,
Gun, and Co., engaged in the grain, trade. Their
liabilities, although not stated, are believed to be con-
siderable." The Liverpool Journal of Commerce states :
"At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. James Hance,
wool broker, lately carrying on business in Liverpool in
partnership with John Edward Cheeseborough, under
the firm of Hance, Son, and Co., the liabilities were
stated to be £4,731, and the assets £792. Mr. H. W.
Blackburn was chosen trustee, and Messrs. Ackroyd and
Hill, bank managers, were appointed a committee of
inspection. The proceedings were transferred to Brad-
ford." The Manchester Examiner states :—" At a meeting
of the creditors of Mr. John Henry Tattersall, cotton
merchant, the resolution to accept a composition of is. in
the pound was confirmed." The London and China Telegraph
states :-"It is expected that a further dividend of 3d. in
the pound, completing 7s. 6d., will be made on the estate
of . Messrs. Lindsay & Co. No further dividend is expected
from the estates of Messrs. jßobert Smith and Co. and
Messrs. Smith, Kennedy, and Co., the total distribution
having been Os. 21,-d. The property in China belonging to
the estate of Messrs. Fletcher and Co. has not yet been
realised, and the final dividend is consequently delayed.
A further ls. is expected from the estate of Messrs. Scott,
Bell, and Co., and a trifle on that of Messrs. Dow and
Co. Another is. will soon be declared on Messrs. Finlay,
Campbell, and Co.'s estate, and 6d. on that of Messrs.
Dent and Co."

TUE RACE FOR THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE

STAKES.

The 42 competitors were all at the starting post soon
after halfpast two, and whilst whiling away the quarter
of an hour which required to pass before the start was
advertised to be made, liafale ran up an embankment
in close proximity to the starting ground. The descent
being greater than the jockey cared about risking
to come down, he dismounted and led the mare from
her perilous position. During this time Queen of Hearts
was exceedingly fractious, but after one failure,
Mr. M`George accomplished one of the most brilliant
starts he ever effected, the lot streaming away almost in
line, excepting Action and Dubois, who, however, quickly
ran into the compact body of competitors, who were led
by Barford. When the lot had fairly settled down into
their strides he was succeeded by Thunderstorm, Albany,
Guy Dayrell, Dubois, Miss Shepherd, Adonis, Bonny
Swell, and some half-dozen others in a cluster,
whilst in the rear were Ethus, Gouache, Actwa, and
Frivolity. Before they had gone a quarter of a mile, Aetna
broke her leg, and at the top of the hill, rather more
than a quarter of a mile from home, Dubois, when hold-
ing a prominent position in front, struck into the heels
of Barford, and, faultering, Jarvis was pitched out of
the saddle, the horse, who did not fall, going
on riderless with the leading divisioL. There was very
little variation in positions until three-fourths of the
distance to be run had been contested, when Barford still
held the lead, having at this point—a quarter of a mile
from home—Adonis, Thunderstorm, Syrian, Albany,
Bonny Swell, Not Out, and Westley in his
immediate wake. A couple of hundred yards fur-
ther a great change occurred by Adonis, full of running,
and apparently without any effort, racing in
front, and at once assuming a clear lead of his immediate
followers, who instantly collapsed. Barford was thoroughly
beaten when Adonis went to the front, as were all the
rest, except Syrian, who ran gamely on to the finish, but
was unequal to the task of overhauling Adonis, who won
with consummate ease by three parts of a length. Bonny
Swell, running past the beaten lot, at the finish was a
bad third, Albany being fourth, Hanford fifth. Westley
sixth. Not Out seventh, Miss Shepherd eighth,
Guy Dayrell ninth, Rafale tenth, Soucar eleventh, and
Aftermath 12th ; then followed a cluster of about a
score, the last lot being Ladas, Mdlle. de St. Igny,
Charnwood, Green Riband, Miss Dayrell? and Haw-
thorden, the latter being absolutely last, finishing just in
the rear of Ethus, who trotted in very lame. Neither
Jarvis nor Butler was hurt, but the accident to Acta
was of such a painful character that the mare was quickly
destroyed. The time occupied in running the race, us
taken by Benson's chronograph, was two minutes and five
sec mid&

TID4 CAMBRIDGESHIRE FlELD.—Tuesday's field for the
Cambridgeshire has only on ono previous occasion been
exceeded iu numbers, namely, in 1862 (Bathilde's year),
when 43 ran. It is a singular circumstance also that the
Cesarewitch has only once brought out a larger field than
that of the present year (35), namely, in 1862 (Uartington's
year), when 37 ran.
