A general meeting of shareholders of Reuter's
Telegram Company will be held at the London
Tavern on the 2d March next, for the purpose of
considering the steps taken by the directors to
utilise a valuable concession obtained by Mr.
Reuter from the Hanoverian Government, for lay-
ing a telegraph cable between the English and
Ranoverian coasts.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has been very little
animation. Sugars have barely sustained former
prices, while full rates have been readily offered for
superior qualities of coffee. Rice has been in mode-
rate request at steady values, and the public sales
of East Indian indigo have continued to progress
with animation at full rates. Tallow, however,
has remained dull, and prices generally are a shade
lower for both present and forward delivery.

There has been very little doing in discount
circles to-day. The supply of floating capital is
not abundant, but there is also no great demand
for accommodation ; 8 per cent., however, is gene-
rally the minimum charge of the brokers.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Tuesday, the 20th instant, a special settling
day in the Scrip of the Egyptian Government Rail-
Way Debenture Loan, to be marked.
The Contract Corporation have made a call of
£5 per share, payable on the 14th of next month.
Mr. W. S. Dixon, of the Govan Iron Works, Glas-
gow., and Mr. Isaac Solly, of Enfield, have joined
the board.
