LIONEY MARKET , SHARE MARKETS,--This Day. I IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

AND

COTIMERCIAL =l4 ;!,LLIGRN,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market, to-day, is still easier, and
in rather less demand.

Business in the Foreign Market is dull, but prices
generally are a shade firmer. Greek Bonds are
quoted 12i 13i ; Mexican Stock, 29-4- 208 Turkish
5 per Cents. 381 398.
The first ordinary meeting of shareholders in the
General Irrigation and Water Supply Company of
France was held yesterday under the presidency of
Mr. R. S. Lane. The chairman, in moving the
adoption of the report, congratulated the share-
holders upon the fact that the affairs of the com-
pany more than realised the most sanguine expecta-
tions which were held out in the prospectus, sanguine
as some of those statements were. The works
undertaken upon the Verdon were being carried on
with every prospect of their being completed within
the period and within the price originally stipulated.
In addition to that he was glad to inform the meet-
lug that two canals had been undertaken, one of
which would assuredly be completed before the next
meeting, and with the rents derived rom that would
Afford them an opportunity of putting in their next
biiLanee-sheet an item which did not appear on their
present one, namely, that of profit and loss. He did
not wish to hold out expectations as to the amount
Of that profit, but he felt it to be a very important
elemout, auguring well for future stability and suc-
cess, that they were thus early affording practical
proof of the correctness of those anticipations which
were at the onset themselves somewhat theoretical.
After some further remarks relative to the capitali-
sation of the water rents, showing the advantageous
nature of the arrangement, and expressing a hope,
almost amounting to a conviction, that before long
the committee of the English Stock Exchange would
grant a quotation, the speaker concluded by reading
an extract from the Moniteur, in which great stress
Vas laid upon the benefits which must inevitably
accrue to the country from the irrigating canals
Undertaken by the company. After a very slight
thacussion the report was adopted.
