The fact that the authorities do not intend to
avail themselves, in the first instance, of the power
given them to a larger extent than 5,000,0001., has
produced a sar,isfactory impression ; and as the
application for allotments will doubtless exceed the
capital of the loan, it is generally imagined that
the scrip will soon rule at a premium.
The official returns relating to trade and navig
tion for the two months ending the 28th Frbruary
have been published. From them it appears that
the total declared value of exports from the United
Kingdom was 14,510,0161., tieing a decrease com-
pared with the like two mouths in 1857 of 3,861,129/.
The decrease is perceptible in c ,als and culm, cotton
manufactures, earthenware, haberdashery and
millinery, hardwares 'and cutlery, linen manu-
factures, metal., silk manufacture., Mit sh spirits,
refined sugar, woollen ant worsted manufactures and
sheep's and lambs' wool. A. slight improvement
is apparent in beer and ale, cotton yarn and ma-
chinery. The importations of the principal articles
have been larger as regards brimstone, cocoa, coffee,
wheat, barley, Indian corn, flour, hemp, rice, and
sheeps and lambs wool. There was a diminution
in raw cotton, flax, fruit, provisions, raw silk, rum,
brandy, Geneva, unrefined sugar, tea, tallow, and
wine.

The following important notice is attached to the
Board of Trade returns :—" An account of the real
value of the principal articles imported having been
much desired, arrangements have been made to add
such an account to the usual monthly accounts of
trade and navigation. But it is not practicable to
publish simultaneously the value and quantities of
the imports for the same mouth, as the Custom-
house cannot compute the value of the articles, ac-
cording to the different qualities, origin, &c., as set
forth in the current market prices, but must wait
to be furnished with an average price for each
article imported from the several countries. The
account of the monthly value of imports will, there-
fore, be necessarily deferred until the month
following the publication of the quantities im-
ported."

The annual report of the Canada Company read
at the meeting to-day, states that their affairs were
making steady and favourable progress. The dis-
posals of land exhibited a large increase over these
in 1856, whilst the average price obtained bas been
ss. 11d. an acre higher. The laud sold and leased
during the year was 2,498 acres, and that leased
was 44,510 acres. The collections of money in
1857 compared with those of the preceding year,
showed a decrease of 4,7471. currency. Tree state
of the colony was however getting more prospe-
rous, and further receipts were expected. The settle-
ment of the claims with the tenants in default had
been arranged to the exient of 20,0001. In con-
clusion the directors expected that the lands in the
hands of the company would in future realise better
prices. The surplus assets in London was
23,4941., and in Canada about 8,0001. currency.
The report was adopted, but no dividend was de-
clared.

The directors of the Bank of England have not
made any alteration in the terms of discount. It
was generally imagined that a reduction to 2i per

Increased firmness is apparent in the market for
English Stocks, and rather more business has been
done. The suspense preceding the publication of
the details of the loan is now removed, and a few
purchases have taken place in consequence. Con-
sols have been 97 to 971 for money, 971 1 for ac-
eount. The 5 per Cents. are 1131. The March
Exchequer Bills are 365. premium ; and the June
ditto 365. to 395. premium. Bank Stock is 227.
