The new feature is apparent in the discount mar-
ket, but owing to the settlement in foreign bonds
and shares of all classes the demand for loans at the
Stock Exchange is rather more active.
The tenders for £300,000 of the Canterbury Go-
vernment Six per Cent. Loan offered by the Bank
of New Zealand will be received up to ono o'clock
this day, when they will be officially opened. The
bonds are issued in sums of £lOO each. The in-
terest accrues from the 31st of December last.

remain steady at 30 32, and the Consolidated Mort-
gage Bonds have advanced to 26f 27.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has not been much
activity. Operations in tea have been deferred
until to-day, when a large quantity of Indian pro-
duce will be offered. Sugars have been in very
moderate request, but at steadyprices; while in rice,
fruit, and spices there has been little change of im-
portance as regards prices. For tallow there has
been a very limited demand, and quotations for
both present and forward delivery have shown a
downward tendency.
The ninth half yearly meeting of the
proprietors of the Great Eastern Railway
Company was held to day, at which the accounts,
made up to the 31st December last, were submitted.

Attention from the English Stock Exchange hav-
ing been very much diverted by the settlement in
foreign bonds and shares generally, the Consol de-
partment has been neglected and languid, and the
quotations have farther receded 1 per cent., viz., to
for money, and to 90i 91 for the account.
The report of the Australian Agricultural Com-
pany to-day stated that the cash at the bankers in
London on the 31st December last, including bills

directors remornmended £7,500 to the payment of a
dividend of 7s. 6d. per share, free of income-tax.
The balance of £2,434 is retained to pay for rails
ordered, insurance of clip and wool bales, which are
altogether .estimated to cost £1,920, and to keep
the banker's account in credit.
