Letters from Glasgow announce the failure of
lessrs. Scott and C0.,0f Cartsdyke, extensive ship-
builders, with, it is believed, large liabilities. Owing
this stoppage and that of Scott and Co., of St.
p'zaire, previously referred to, the Greenock
44ndry Company have also been compellei to sus-
Pend payment.
It appears that Mr. Henry Jackson, the railway
contractor, of Parliament-stre'it, has executed a
deed, which was registered on the 6th instant,
whereby the business will be carried on under in-
-B,etors, and his estates and effects be assured to
them for the benefit of his creditors, as in bank-
ruptcy,
To-day, December 11th, has become due the half-
Yearly interest on the Danish Four per Cent. Loan,
negotiated in 1863. Not a single transaction has
been officially recorded in this security during the
present year, and the only bargains in the other
Danish issues have been limited to the following :
Stock (1825), July 30, at 81; ditto, August 14,
14 81; ditto, October 21, at 81; and ditto, Novem-
ber 10, at 82.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Marts
during the last few days there has been a fair
inquiry for sugar, coffee, and rum, which in most
instances have been supported at previous rates.
Rice has been neglected, while in tallow the opera-
tions have been to a fair extent owing to an in-
creased trade demand.
Seine dissentient shareholders in Hodge's Dis-
'et7 Company (Limited) have issued the follow-
ing circular to their co-proprietors:---" Sir,—Here-
with, we beg to band you copy of a requisition to be
made to the directors, the object of the same being
411 Y explained therein. We consider that by taking
timely action we shall be able to prevent mishap, and
to
assist in making the concern what we believe it
capable of being made—' a good investment.' Our
friends already represent a very large amount of
tcapital, and we shall be greatly obliged by your
ng up the form accompanying the requisition,
and forwarding the same on or before the 13th inst.

e Concern has all the elements of success if
perked in a judicious and, business like manner.

ore the instant to meet us, and will give us all
the facilities we require, for, the purpose .in view ;

illga shall be in perfect faith and for the interests of
