MONETARY REPORTS.--YESTERDAY.

Business in the stock markets has not been animated, in
consequence of the adjustment of the fortnightly account,
but steadiness has been the feature, and a portion of the
decline, the result of yesterday's depression, has been
recovered. Both railway stocks and foreign bonds shew
an improvement, but the alterations in no instances have
been deserving of especial notice. Home securities have
been rather firmer. Consols have bean purchased
to a fair extent, at 924, 92# for delivery and
the November account, being an improvement of
per cent. ; Reduced and New Three per Cents., 91, 91* ;
Exchequer Bills, 55., 10s. prem. Bank stock, 232, 234.
Indian Five per Cents., 110, 110*, and India Bonds, 18s.
235. prem. Colonial Government securities have been
quiet, but firm.
In the market for English railway stocks, nothing of
interest has transpired. The tone has been steady, and
prices have been fairly maintained. South Eastern has
been 4 better at 734, 732 ; Midland *, at 1268127 ; North-
Western 4, at 1284, 129* ; and Great Western *, at
714, 71 ; but Metropolitan has fallen * or to 652, 664 ;
Brighton, 41*, 42 ; Great Northern A, 1332, 1344 ; Great
Eastern, 371 37k; and North Eastern, 145, 145*.
For Indian Railway Stocks there has been but little
inquiry. East Indian 1092 ; Great Indian Peninsula
1064, and Scinde 1031 Canada shares have been flat.
Great Western it lower at 15, 154. Foreign shares have
changed hands quietly. Beunos Ayres, Great Southern,
25i, San Paulo 21*, and Lombards 144.
The market for foreign bonds has been characterised by
a fair amount of steadiness, and a fractional improvement
has been occasionally apparent. Peruvian (1865) have
risen 4, or to 89.2, 904 ; Italian (1861), 4, or to 544, 542 ;
Spanish (1867), 4, or to 28*, 284 ; ditto (1869), 4, or to 271
274 ; Turkish Five per Cents., it, or to Ora, 43 ; ditto
(1869), 4, or to 501 504. Egyptian (1868) are quoted at
764, 762; Mexican, 142, 15; United States Five-twenty
(1885) Bonds, 88, 884 ex div. ; Erie shares, 172, 184 ;
Illinois Central, 109 i, 110*.
Bank shares have commanded but little attention. Agra
A, 8i; Anglo-Egyptian, 222 ; London and County, 48*;
and London and Westminster, 60g.
For telegraph shares the demand has been inactive.
Anglo-Mediterranean, 134 ; ditto, new, 81 ; British Aus-
tralian 1 ; British Indian Submarine, 74, 8* ; Falmouth,
101 104 ; Mediterranean extension 4g, and French cables
154 ; Telegraph Construction, 264, 26*.
Miscellaneous securities have sold slowly. City offices,
104 ; Hudson's Bay, 94 ; Peninsular and Oriental
Steam, 48.
There have been no bullion operations at the Bank

to-day.
There has been a demand for bills on Belgium, Holland,
and Germany, and the rates have been lower.
At Mark-lane to-day wheat sold slowly, at barely
Monday's currency.
The prospectus has appeared of the. Andoca Mining
Company (Limited) with a capital of £200,000, in shares
of £lO each, of which 10,000 preferred or A shares
are entitled to a fixity of dividend of 10
per cent., and 9,750 of these are now offered
for subscription. A deposit of £1 per share must
accoml•any applications, £1 Is. be paid on allotment,
£1 on January 10th, £1 April 10th, .£1 on July 10th, and
one month's notice is to be given of any further call. The
property consists of about 26 square miles of freehold land
in the territory of Anzona, in the United States, and is
situated about 160 milesifrom Port Libertad, on the Gulf of
California. The property is to be purchased as follows :
£5,000 in cash, £5,000 in six months, £lOO,OOO by the issue
of £lO,OOO fully paid-up B. Shares, and £90,000 by
Mortgage Debentures, bearing 5 per cent. interest.
The half-yearly meeting of the London and South
African Bank is convened for the 3rd proximo. After the
transaction of the ordinary business, a special meeting
will be held to consider a proposal of the directors to
reduce the capital to £400,000 by cancelling 5,000 shares
at the price of £l5, there being £2O paid, and the market
price being £l3 to £l4. The £25,000 which will thus stand
to the credit of the company, being the difference of the
issue price and the cancel price, will be placed to the
reserve fund.

The following telegram has been received by Don Pedro
Mining Company from Lisbon :—Produce from August,
7,672 octavas ; weighed to 17th September, 1,769 octavas.
The discount market has again been heavily supplied
with capital. In all quarters the inquiry for accommoda-
tion has been on a limited scale, and in Lombard-street
three month's paper has been taken at 2i per cent.
The Oneida, from the Brazils, has arrived at Lisbon
with £111,779 in specie.
The City of Washington, from New York, has brought
£15,000 in specie.
Messrs. Pixley, Abell, Langley and Blake thus report
on the state of the bullion market :—Sovereigns to the
value of £419,000 have been withdrawn from the Bank,
chiefly for Egypt ; with this exception there has been no
demand for export, and the Bank has received during the
week about £737,000. The demand for silver has been
more active during the week, and the price has improved
to 600. to 601 d. per oz. standard. The Neva has brought
about £15,000 from the West Indies. There is no demand
for China, and the price remains as quoted, 581 d. per oz.
The fourth bi-monthly drawing for the prizes and
liquidation of the Roumelian Railway Loaa, took place at
Constantinople on the Ist inst. Of the first four numbers
drawn three belonged to the 750,000 obligations already
issued, and the first prize of 300,000 francs fell to a
resident holder. This is expected to have an excellent
effect on the local value of the bonds, which will be en-
hanced by the progress made with the first section of the
line from Stamboul to Kutchuktchekmedjie. This first
link will be opened for traffic in December next.
The following is from the Levant Herald of the sth
instant :—" The longstanding claim of the Danube and
Black Sea Railway Company on the Porte,
arising out of the Kustendjie harbour concession and
works, has at length been compromised, through the exer-
tions of the Hon Frederick Walpole, M.P., who came out
some weeks ago as a special delegate of the directors to
settle the affair. This has now been effected on the basis
of the Government taking over the harbour from the Com-
pany and paying the latter £112,000 the amount of the
preference debt incurred for the works. The total sum
expended is alleged to have been £160,000, but with
the amount now to be received, the Company will
probably not be a heavy loser. The result does credit to
Mr. Walpole's diplomacy."
At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Mathew Crowe
and Co., of Bristol, it-was shewn that there were liabilities
for £50,611, and the assests amounted to £27,332. It was
resolved to accept a composition of 7s. 6d. in the pound,
payable in three instalments, the last to be guaranteed.
