In the Discount Market there continues to be
increased ease, now that the payments of the 4th of
the mouth have been effected. The diffusion of the

dividends on the New Three per Cents. and
Re-
duced, &c., has also caused a further addition to the
large amount of capital seeking employment.
Gold amounting to £4,000 was taken into the
Bank of England on Saturday.
The Syria, from Alexandria, has brought £6,914,
and. the Moravian, from Melbourne, £203,760.
Business in the manufacturing districts during the
past week has remained very dull. At Manchester
great depression has been experienced, and prices
are lower for both cloths and yarns. The woollen
. trade at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has re-
mained without animation, the chief dealings having
been in heavy fabrics, chiefly for home requirements
In the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and
Nottingham operations have been interfered with
by the holidays, while in the hardware districts of
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton no
material alteration can be reported in the general
state of trade.
In the corn market to-day there was a fair at-
tendance, but the supplies of home grown and
foreign wheat on offer were extremely limited, and
a further advance of 3s. to 4s. per quarter was ex-
hibited.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
are steady, at 24 26 ; and the Consolidated Mort-
gage Bonds, at 24 22k.
The liquidators of Overend, Gurney, and Co.
(Limited) have announced a further dividend of 2s.
the pound, payable on the 9th inst. and three
following days. This payment will make altogether
12s. in the pound; and Mr. W. Turquand and Mr.
R• P. Harding deserve credit for having accelerated
the distribution of the assets. It is understood that
the late call has been well paid, and it is hoped that
another dividend may be declared within a short
period.
At a meeting held this day of the London
Financial Association (Limited) the report of the
directors was presented. It states :—" In consider-
ing the position of the association and the difficulties
which have been successfully surmounted, the
board would remind the shareholders that the past
eighteen months has been a period of unparalleled
depression, and that the panic of last year was
succeeded by a special panic in railway property,
Which has retarded negotiations and prevented
realisations that would otherwise have taken place.
During this period the liabilities of the association
have been reduced by the sum of £876,000, of
Which nearly £300,000 was apart from the calls
received. The direct liabilities of the association
have been still further reduced since the last meet-
ing in July by the sum of £52,000, and now stand
at £228,000 only."
