At Mark-lane there is a very qu7et market, with
a downward tendency.

lian Five per Cents. are k better, at 561 564, and

donian, 761 7 ; Great Western, 49+ 1 ; Great
Eastern, 371 1 ; Great Northern, 107 8 ; ditto (A),

are better, at 711 721. Eries have risen 1, to

The sum of £148,000 in gold was taken to the
Bank on Sturday.
The City of Manchester, from Port Phillip, has
brought £41,500, and the Poona,h, from Alexandria,
£lO,OOO.
Ihe demand for money at:the Bank during last
week was limited. There was scarcely any inquiry
in the open market, the payments of the 4th having
passed. The supply of capital having increased, a
disposition was manifested to work at rather lower
rates, 4/ to 41 per cent. being the terms current. In
every direction complaints are made respecting the
scarcity of paper. The private and joint-stock banks
have larger resources than ever, and cannot employ
them at 41 and 41 per cent. For the present it is
not thought that the Bank directors will reduce the
official minimum, at least until the reserve exhibits
a greater increase, but the continuous influx of gold
at that establishment will of course greatly tend to
improve its position.
The failure has been announced of Mr. John
Manners, tin plate manufacturer, of Rugeley-, Staf-
fordshire, but the liabilities are small.
According to New York advices an additional
import duty of 20 per cent. has been imposed on
Venezuela.
On the 2d inst. direct steam communication was
to be started from New York to St. Domingo and
the Bay of Samana.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company,
One of the most useful and efficient of our com-
mercial corporations, has issued its 57th half-yearly
report, ending March 31, 1869. It announces in-
creased business, a satisfactory flotilla in excellent
condition, a whole year of exemption from casual-
ties, and a dividend of 3 per cent. upon the half-
year. No doubt such a report will be very gratify-
ing to the shareholders.
At a general meeting of the shareholders of the
Ceara Gas Company (Limited), the accounts for
the past year were presented, the interim dividend
to the 30th June at the rate of 8 per cent. per
annum confirmed, and a further dividend at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum declared for the
half year ending 31st December, 1868.
An extraordinary general meeting of the Duna-
burg and Witepsk Railway Company (Limited)
has been convened for the 21st inst., when a re-
solution w ill be submitted empowering the directors
to borro at sums not exceeding £500,000 in all for
the purposes of the company.
Advices from Toronto, Canada, dated the 23d
ult., state that the excitement attending the failure
of the Royal Canadian Bank is subsiding. Its bills
are selling at a discount of about 15 per cent. The
directors have issued a circular urging billholders
and depositors not to be alarmed, as there is not the
slightest danger of loss to them. The statement of
the affairs of the bank for the month ending the
15th of May is :—Total liabilities, $1,930,401; total
assets, $3,300,334. There is no run on any of the
other banks.
