The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Delhi will bring £482,000 in gold from Australia.
The company having made a reduction in their
terms, the chief remittances in future are likely to
come through their bands.

The Manchester markets this week have opened
without improvement.

The advices from Frankfort state that the Bourse
is without inherent buoyancy, but continues to be
stimulated by the course of business at Vienna,
where prices are still rising, large nominal profits
being daily realised on the issue of new shares, the
mania for which has experienced but little abate-
ment. A loan of five million roubles of the Rus-
sian Boden Credit, brought out by Rothschilds at
78i for 5 per cent. bonds, has been instantly filled
up, and commands a premium of 1} per cent. The
Kowno-Libau Railway has been contracted for by a
Russian company, who offered much lower terms than
their foreign competitors. The principal Prussian rail-
way companies are about to raise a loan on joint ac-
count of 100 million thalers for the construction of
new lines. The low terms at which Austrian and
Russian preference shares continue to be issued have
prevented the Prussian companies from disposing
as heretofore of their preference shares at a rate of
interest of 4i to 5 per cent., and the Government
have, therefore, exceptionally allowed them to
bring out their new loans in lottery form, carrying
4 per cent. interest and premiums by drawings. As
a powerful combination of bankers, headed by
Rothschild and the Berlin Discount Bank, will be
the contractors, and the security is unquestionable,
its success is stated to be certain. The term for the
Option of the new shares of the Elizabeth Railway
expires on the 20th inst., and holders of old shares
must present them before that date if they want to
avail themselves of their privileges.

The report of the Consolidated Bank (Limited),
to be presented at Manchester on the 16th inst.,
recommends a dividend of 2s. per share, or at the
rate of 5 per cent. per annum.
The report of the United Discount Corporation
(Limited) recommends a dividend of 3s. 7d. per
share, or at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum.
The directors of the City Bank have decided to
declare a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per
annum.

The directors of the Australian Agricultural
Company will recommend a dividend of 7s. 6d. per
share at the meeting on the 27th instant, making,
with the 10s. paid in February, 17s. 6d. for the year
The directors of the London and St. Katharine
Docks Company will recommend at the meeti❑g on
the 27th inst.
_a dividend of per cent. for the
past half year, carrying forward £26,263.
