Foreign stocks are very quiet, in sympathy with
the relapse in Paris prices. The changes, however,
arc of little importance.
A dull tone prevails in American Securities. The
Bonds have declined ~ the Five-Twenties to 80k,
and tli:: Ten-Forties to 714.
Railways firm, with a good business.
The only feature in Banking shares is an
im-
provement of 10s. in London and County, the price
being 50 to 51.
In Miscellaneous Securities prices are without
movement. Anglo-American Telegraph is quoted
at 214 to 22 ; Atlantic Eight per Cents., 31 to 3} ;
National Discount, 11 to 111 ; General Credit,
18 to u, dis.; and International and Hudson's Bay,
121 to 124.
The sum of £35,000 in gold was taken to the
Bank yesterday (including 35,000 sovereigns from
Alexandria). The total sent in during the week
since the last return has been, upon balance,
£473,000.
The Lansdowne, from Port Philip, has brought
£66,000, and the Hansa, from New York, £23,091.
The Lansdowne has brought 2,000 cases of Aus-
tralian beef and mutton of about 70 tons' weight,
being the tenth cargo that has arrived since the
beginning of March. The consignees, Messrs.
M'Call and Co., state that the demand for these
provisions from the manufacturing districts is such
as to engage each shipment long before its arrival.
Mr. J. F. Lovering, the official liquidator of the
Metropolitan Ice Company (Limited), has, after
paying all the creditors in full, been able to make
a return of 3s. 101 per share to the shareholders.
There has been a very limited number of bills
brought forward in the discount market, and the
rate is easy at 4 for the best three months'
paper.
The bonds of the Guatemala Six per Cent. Go-
vernment Loan of 1869 are announced by Messrs.
Thomson, Bonar, and Co. as now ready to be issuel
in exchange for fully paid-up scrip.

With reference to the prosecution of the direc-
tors of Overeud, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), it is
understood that Dr. Thom, the prosecutor, and
Mr. 11. G. Gordon, one of the defendants, are
anxious to get the trial disposed of at the earliest
possible moment, but that the other defendants do
not appear to concur in this view. In the event of
such concurrence being obtained from all parties,
a decision from a special jury as to the guilt or
innocence of the accused way be given during next
mouth. Tho Chancery suit, " Dundas v. the
Directors and the Trustees of the late Mr. Gibb's
Estate," has been ripe for hearing for seine time
Past, but the committee, it is stated, have been un-
able to push the matter to a conclusion.

Messrs. Watson and Sherburu, spinners and
manufacturers, of Padiham, have called a meeting
of their creditors. The liabilities are understood
to be moderate, and a favourable liquidation is an-
ticipated.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
returns show this week an increase of £646 com-
pared with the corresponding period of last year ;
the Midland, an increase of £392 ; the Great
Northern, an increase of £2,293 ; the Great Eastern
a decrease of £4,905 ; the Great Western, a de-
crease of £1,859 ; and the London and South
*Western, an increase of £2,565.
The mails from Calcutta, China, and Australia,
via Marseilles, are expected to be distributed in
London on Monday morning.

The Government of 'Victoria invite tenders for
the conveyance, monthly, of mails and emigrants
between Great Britain and Melbourne, via the Cape
of Good llope, by steamships of not less than
2,500 tons register, and each possessing accommo-
dation for 500 steerage pa,sengers.

The Solicitors' Journal gives particulars of a re-
cent deci.,ion of the Court of Cassation with respect
to the rights of the English in France as to trade
111.:1103 and marks. FrJ.ll this it appears that Eng-
lish manufacturers and traders may henceforth con-
fidently sue in France all usurpers of their trade
same, provided tncy prove that they have bee:i the
first to make use of that name. "As to the trade
Mark," it is added—" There could be no dot.b':,
upon the subject since the treaty, but the Englis,)
Commercial public should be made to understand
that no action can be brought on such a matter,
either by a French subject or an alien, unless the
trade mark has been previously registered and de-
Posited in the proper form. Foreign trade marks
arc to be deposited at the Tribunal of the Seine, the
seat of which is Paris.
The Peruvian advices to the effect that it was
said at Lima that the revenue deficiencies for the
se ir " are to be covered with the produce of the
bonds of 1865, reserved in the London market,"
appear to be another addition to the false state-
ments pertinaciously circulated regarding financial
affairs in that country. There are no such bonds
reserved in the Loudon market, the whole of those
belonging to the Government having long ago been
sold.

At the meeting of the African Steamship Corn-
Pany a dividend and bonus at the rate of 10s. per
Share were declared for the half-year, being at
the rate of 10 per cent. per annum.

The directors of the National Provincial Bank of
England notify that a half-yearly dividend at the
rate of 8 per cent. per annum, and a half-yearly
bonus of 7 per cent., will be payable on the coin-
Pany's stock on the 12th of July.
