ing Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Metropolitan,
each, being quoted at 122/ to 123/ ; and
1031 to 1031 respectively. Midland and South

801 to 801; Erie, 221 to 224 ; Illinois, 981 to 99 ;
and Atlantic and Great Western Bonds, 251 to 261.
Operations in Bank Shares continue very limited,
and the only movement in prices is a decline of 1
in London and County, the price being 49 to 50.

421 to 43i ; London and Westminster, 621 to 631 ;

to 111; General Credit is steady, at 11 to 11 dis. ;
International Finance, 2 to 11 dis. ; Anglo-Ame-
rican Telegraph, 221 to 224 ; and Hudson's Bay,

The Glen Osmond, from Adelaide, South Australia,
has brought £5,120.
The increase of traffic of the Metropolitan Rail-
way is stated at £2,842. The traffic receipts on
the Metropolitan District Railway represent £Bl6.
The traffic receipts on the Metropolitan and St.
John's Wood Railway stand at £379.
Advices from Glasgow announce the failure of
Messrs. Inglis and Morris, manufacturers, with
liabilities amounting to about £20,000.
Great attention is directed to the further pro-
ceedings which are to take place on Thursday
next before the Committee of the House of Com-
mons in the matter of the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway Company's Bill. The feeling
amongst the share and debenture holders is de-
cidedly that the Committee are quite correct in
the views they have taken, and that it is advisable
the directors should be controlled in the issue
of the A" debenture stock by the arbitrators,
Lord Cairns and the Marquis of Salisbury, in
whose hands, it is felt, the pending matters may be
Safely left. In a letter published by Mr. Grosvenor
Hodgkinson he states that he will be " quite
content to abide" by the committee's judgment, and
it is strongly to be hoped that the board, as a body,
will be found ready to acquiesce in the plans
proposed, which appear to afford the only means
whereby the affairs of the company can be put
straight. Apart altogether from legal difficulties
it ia obvious that when a great undertaking like
this falls into embarrassment, and it is found im-
possible to reconcile by ordinary means the con-
flicting rights of the various clainlaws, the very
course which men of business would at once adopt
would be the one proposed by the present bill—
that is to say, the disputants, if they were guided
by common sense, would appoint two or three men
of undoubted character and position, and would
consent to be bound by their decision. It is diffi-
cult to see what better men could be appointed to
such a pest than an ex-Lord Chancellor and first-
rate lawyer like Lord Cairns, and a nobleman of
statesmanlike breadth of view like Lord Salisbury.
Considering the saving which may thus be effected
in the cost of litigation, the advantage to be
derived through the attention of the directors
being
solely to the development of traffic, and the
vast number of interests involved, it will be a matter
of reproach to all concerned if the present effort
to place the affairs of the company in a train
of settlement should not be carried through suc-
cessfully.
The directors of the Britannia Fire Association
have notified a second issue of 10,000 shares ;
£1 per share on application, and £1 six months
after allotment ; when subscribed the capital of
the association will stand at £250,000, and
£5OlOOO paid up, which the directors believe will
be amply sufficient for all present purposes. The
business hes been in active operation since January
last.

At the meeting of the Singapore Gas Company
(Limited), a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum was declared.

The fifth ordinary general meeting of the share-
holders of the Anglo-Austrian Bank will be held at
Vienna on the 31st May.
The East Indian Railway Company have issued
a circular to the shareholders notifying the issue
of the £1,000,000 of N Extension capital, gua-
ranteed 5 per cent., which was authorised at the
meeting of proprietors held on the 31st of De-
cember last.
