absorbing almost exclusive attention among
. classes of the community. Accounts from the 50
iea of Azof and the Black Sea report a continued 200
exportation of cereals on a large scale, and it would 10
greatly increase if a sufficient number of small 150
boats were provided. From Berdiansk alone the )5
shipments had already amounted to 120,000 tchet-
worts of barley, and 25,000 tchetwerts more were fit.
being got ready for exportation. From Kiel we et.
learn that an extraordinary decline had taken g
place in the price of cereals, as the crops promised 3t,
an abundant yield. .
The shareholders of the Riga Railway Company
are extremely dissatisfied at the announcement
made by the directors in the circular to which we
alluded yesterday ; and many of them have refused
to pay the call of 41. per share which has just been
made. It is quite clear that the shareholders have
been misled, as they supposed the guarantee of 4
per cent. would be on the entire capital, and not,
as it now appears, only on the amount expended
in the construction of the line. What the result
of the opposition raised by the shareholders will
be remains to be seen, but they have notified
their determination in a communication to the
secretary that they will not pay any further calls.
It is e spected, however, that a meeting will be
called, -when the position of the company's affairs
will be fully made known. Perhaps the directors
can rer cove the doubts which have been expressed
an to t he value of the concession and privileges ;
but if not, the only course open appears to be the
dissol.ution of the company, which many, expect
will -ultimately be determined upon. Until a meet-
ing is called, however, it is impossible to form any
definite opinion with regard to the present position 3!
or future prospects of the undertaking. 10
St
The rates of continental exchanges were gene- St..
ral'ty lower yesterday, and the decline was not ap-
pa rent on Paris, Hamburg, and Holland, chiefly 100
pry )duced by the desire evinced by many English 1.
ca. pitalists to participate in the new banking insti-
tu .tions now in course of formation on the Con-
ti vent.

Public Securities are in a languid state, the set-
ilement of the account forming almost the only
business now transacted. The rate of contango is
per cent. Consols have been 951 for money
and the 7th instant, 95:4 to 96 for the September
account. The New 3 per Cents. are 961 and
the Reduced 95, to 96. Exchequer Bills aro 16s.
to 17s. prem., and India Bonds 21s. prem.
Foreign Stocks are quite neglected, not more
than three transactions having been recorded up to
1 o'clock. There were in Turkish 6 per Cents. at
1031 1, and in Spanish Deferred at 24.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 71 ; Mexi-
can, 23 ; Peruvian, 81 2; ditto 3 per Cents., 57 8 ;
Portuguese 4 per Cents., 49 51 ; Russian 5 per
Cents., 111 113 ; ditto 41 per Ce'ats., 98 100 ;
Spanish 3 per Cents., 45 1 ; ditto Deferred, 2.11 ; ;
ditto Certificates, G 1 ; ditto Passive,
Railway Shares have generally improved 4 to
per cent., and the transactions have been rather
more numerous. The lines most in favour are
Great Northern, Manchester, Sheffield and Lin-
colnshire, Midland, and North-Western. The
Foreign are generally dull, ;and Rigas have drop-
ped to 11 premium. A few •weeks since they stood
at 54 premium.

Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are
firm.
