Telegraph shares, more especially in Construction
and Maintenance.

There were no gold operations at the Bank
yesterday.
The Pera, from Alexandria, has brought
£539,333, and the Arno, from Brazil, £33,000.
Owing to an improvement in the French Ex-
change, it is probable that a considerable por-
tion of these arrivals may be taken to the Bank.

The Humboldt from the River Plate and
Brazil has been telegraped at Lisbon. She brings
dates later than those of the Arno, but no alteration
is quoted in the rate of exchange.
With reference to some reports recently cur-
rent that the money due from the Canadian Go-
vernment on the Ist instant for the Hudson's
Bay purchase bad not been paid owing to a diffi-
culty as to the title, it is stated that the sum has
been deposited, but that its payment to the com-
pany is delayed in consequence of the Red River
disturbances.

The list for the guaranteed bonds of the Dutch-
Indian Railway has closed, and the applications
amounted to double the sum required.
It is understood that the Turkish Government

have this week caused to be burnt £BOO,OOO of the
sum of £3,500,000 of the Five per cent. Stock created
at the consolidation of the general debt which still
remained at their disposal.
Financial advices from Buenos Ayres state that
the late project of Government. for the emission of
$6,000,000 in consolidated public stock, to cover
the expenses of the Paraguayan war, was received
with great disfavour by .the public, and caused a
sudden fall in the price of Argentine Securities
(from 70 to 55), the measure having been quite un-
expected. The Government soon perceived their
error, and as they are anxious to maintain public
credit they will not persist in the intended opera-
tion, but will, it is assumed, adopt other means for
supplying their wants.
At a meeting of the creditors of Mr. Abraham
Akeroyd, manufacturer, of Bradford, the balance-
sheet showed liabilities for about £B,OOO, and an
offer was made of 7s. 6d. in the pound, but after
some discussion the meeting was adjourned without
coming to a decision.
At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Hallo-
well and Son, worsted manufacturers at Bradford,
the liabilities were represented at £3,690, and a
composition of ss. 6d. iu the pound was accepted.
At a meeting held at Bristol of the creditors of
Messrs. Hennet and Spink, of the Bridgwater Iron
Foundry, it was resolved to continue the business
under a deed of assignment. The liabilities amount
to £20,000.

A company is in course of formation, to be called
the Anglo-Australian and China Telegraph Com-
pany. They propose to establish a submarine tele-
graph between Calcutta and the Australian colonies,
with intermediate stations at Penang, Malacca,
Singapore, Batavia, and the Dutch settlement at
Macassar, the cable terminating in Queensland, at
the bead of Gulf Carpentaria, to which point the
telegraph system of Australia will be completed in
1870.

The Journal of St. Petersburg of the Ist instant
states that on the 29th of November the Tamboff-
Kozloff Railway had been provisionally opened,
that the first train passed from Kozloff to Tamboff
in the presence of a large concourse of people and
of the troops of the garrison, and that the regular
service of the line will commence very shortly.
