TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is very little animation in the English
Stock Market, and quotations generally show no
Material change.
In the bullion department of the Bank, yesterday,
there were no operations of importance.
The outgoing mail steamer, Tanjore, takes out
437,175 in specie, £137,000 in gold, and £293,375
ill silver for Bombay, and £6,800 in gold for
Alexandria.
From the report and accounts of the Thames and
Mersey Marine Insurance Company, it appears that
the balance carried forward on the 31st of Decem-
ber amounts (including the reserve fund, £79,000)
to £527,394, exclusive of the paid-up capital of
200,000. The directors now recommend a pay-
tlent of 4s. per share, free of income-tax, being at
the rate of 20 Der cent. ; and they also propose that
bonus
be empowered to pay a similar dividend and
°Onus for the half-year ending the 30th of June
text, should they deem it expedient.
The report of the General Credit Company to be
Presented on the sth of February shows an available
total of £200,071, and recommends a dividend of
108. per share, which, with the payment of 2s. last
August, makes a total distribution for the year at
the rate of 15 per cent. on the paid-up capital of
£1,000,000. The sum of £50,000 is to be added to
reserve, which will then stand at £175,000, and
£25,071 will remain to be carried forward.
The movements of the precious metals during the
,14ek, have been to a moderate extent. The imports
have amounted to about £245,419, chiefly from
New York and Australia ; while the exports have
been
£625,725, the greater portion of which has
ueell in silver to Bombay.

Two O'CLOCK.
Dulness has been the principal feature in the
markets for stocks and shares, and owing to the
absence of dealings on speculative account and for
Investment prices have slightly given way. Consols
41,6 861 87 for money, and 87 f for the account.
The New Threes are 861 87 ; Exchequer Bills,
to 3s. dis. ; India Stock, 208 2101 ; ditto

In the Railway Share Market the operations have

shown more firmness. Lancashire and Yorkshire
and South Eastern have improved 55., and Metro-
politan and Midland 10s. ; and North Western,
153. ; while London, Chatham, and Dover have
declined 10s.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive,
at about previous quotations.
