MONETARY REPORTS-WEDNESDAY,

This being the commencement of the fortnightly settle-
ment, business in the Stock Exchange has been restricted ;
nevertheless, a healthy tone has been prevalent
in the demand for some discriptions of railway
stocks and foreign bonds, and the tendency has been
favourable. Consols, however, have continued quiet, at
94 to 941 for delivery, and 94i to 941 for June. Reduced
and New Three per Cents, 921, 92g. Exchequer Bills
par, ss. prem. Bank stock, 234 to 236. India Five per
Cents, 114, 1141; and India Bonds, 20s. to 255. prem.
The railway market generally has been quiet, but
Ncrth-Eastern Consols, influenced by the large increase
in the traffic receipts, have risen 1. Midland openedat an
improvement of 1, but eventually receded. Great Western,
London and North-Western, and Metropolitan have each
been rather easier.

Indian railway stocks have been quiet, and without
change. For Canadian shares there has been only a
moderate inquiry, but prices have been unaltered. Foreign
shares have been quiet.
Business in foreign bonds has not been extensive, and
the fluctuations have been uuimportant. Egyptian have
been in request at an advance of and
a similar enhancement has taken place in
Russian Nicholai Railway, and Italian (1861), but Spanish
have been rather easier.

American Government securities have been quiet, but
unaltered. Erie and Illinois Central shares have

then I.
The market for mining shares has been very quiet.
Tan-yr-Alt have fallen f.
For Bank shares the demand has not been active, but
the quotations have ruled firm. Chartered Mercantile of
India, India and China, London and Westminster, and
Union of London have well maintained previous quota-
tions.

Telegraph shares have been quietly dealt in. Falmouth,
Gibralter, and Malta have risen *. Telegraph Construc-
tion Shares have advanced #, and Hooper's Telegraph
Works, #.
The sum of £45,000 has been sent into the Bank to-day.
At Mark-lane, to-day, wheat was quiet, at about Mon-
day's prices.
In the discount market the supply of capital has been
tolerably good. There has been a fair demand for accom-
modation ; but Three Months' Paper has been easily
negotiated at n to 3 per cent.
We understand that the price of the New Peruvian
Loan for £12,000,000, which is about to be in-
troduced here will be between 82 and 85. It will be
secured on the railways to be constructed, on an
hypothecation of the customs duties, and also on the
revenues from any sales of guano after 1879, when the
existing Peruvian Five per Cents. shall have been ex-
tinguished.
At a meeting of the English Bank of Rio de Janeiro, it
was shewn that the gross profits for the year,'after making
ample provision for bad and doubtful debts, amount to
£64,333 6s. 6d., from which have to be deducted Rebate
of interest on current bills and drafts, and all charges at
the head office and at the branches in Rio de
Janeiro and Pernambuco, leaving as net profit
£44,534 12s. 108., including a balance of £5,53415. 4d.
brought forward from the previous year. The
diminution in the gross profits of the last financial year is
attributable to the heavy loss sustained by the failure of
Franghiadi and Rodocanachi. A dividend on account of
Bs. per share, amounting to £20,000, was paid in December
last, and it is now reoommended to divide a like sum
on the 9th June next, making the dividend for
the year 16s. per share, or 8 per cent. on the
paid-up capital of the bank, free of Income tax.
It is gratifying to the directors to announce that the
rise in exchange in Brazil has obviated the necessity on
the present occasion of any further provision for deprecia-
tion of capital, the amount at the credit of that account
remains therefore at £120,505 9s. 7d. After providing
for the dividend on account already paid, and for the
payment of the dividend now recommended, there will
remain a balance of £4,534 12s. 10d, to the credit of profit
and loss account to be carried forward.

At a meeting of the United Kingdom Temperance and
General Provident Institution it was stated that the
policies for the year 1869 had been 2,182, assuring
£435,210, and that the present accumulated capital
amounts to £1,190,000.
The following telegram has been received by the Don
Pedro North del Rey Mining Company (Limited) :
" Weighed to 30th April, 6,797 oitavas. Estimated pro-
duce for April, 8,727 oitavas.
