With reference to the Italian Government To-
bacco Loan the following notice has been issued :
"Messrs. Stern Brothers beg to inform the holders
of scrip in the above loan that as the Definitive
Bonds will not be ready for exchange against scrip
by the Ist of April next, it has therefore been de-
cided, in order to protect the interes's of the bond-
holders, to postpone the first drawing to the 10th
of June next. The payment of the drawn series
takes place on the Ist July, as originally intended.
A further notice will be given respecting the time
and mode of exchanging the scrip."

The directors of the United Land Company
(Limited) have issued their repert for the year
ending 20th March, 1869. It states that, although
the company have been registered only eleven
months, and the actual operations extend but over
a period of five months, the business effected has
been so profitable that, after clearing the current
working outlay, and writing off a large proportion
of the preliminary expenses, the directors are
enabled, out of profits, to declare a dividend on the
capital, called up at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum, free of income tax.
The statistics of the wheat importations of the
past year show that the total arrivals were only 1
per cent. below those of 1867, and that they were
41 per cent. in excess of those of 1866. Russia was
again the largest contributor, but the United States
have now regained the second place in the list,
while Prussia has gone back to the third. At the
same time Egypt and Turkey are making rapid
strides. From France, which in 1866 supplied 15
per cent. of our consumption of foreign wheat, the
quantity last year was but nominal. The propor-
tions from the respective countries were—Russia,
31 per cent. ; the United States, 18 per cent. ;
Prussia, 14 per cent. ; Turkey, 10 per cent.; Egypt,
10 per cent. ; Chili, 4 per cent. ; Illyria, 3 per
cent. ; Denmark, 2 per cent. ; Mecklenburg, 2 per
cent. ; Manse Tow'es, 2 per cent. ; Canada, 2 per
cent. ; and other countries, 2 per cent.
