A large number of Indian bills which' arrive•
at
maturity to-day have been previously provided for,
and the inquiry is therefore not immediately active.
The supply of capital is abundant, but the brokers
still evince much circumspection, and only discount
the best short paper at rates ranging from 8 per
cent.
There was a withdrawal from the Bank of Eng-
land on Saturday of 25,000 sovereigns for Belgium,
but 20,000 sovereigns were received there from
Alexandria.
The directors of the English, Scottish, and
Australian Chartered Bank, in their report to be
presented on the 30th inst., state that there is an
available total of £23,183, which they recommend
to be appropriated as follows :—£21,000 in payment
of a dividend of 7 per cent. per annum, £l,OOO to
be placed against the premises account, and to carry
forward the balance—£l,lB3—to the next account.
This result is not so favourable as the directors an-
ticipated, and they attribute it to the failure of the
crops for the last two seasons, which has affected
the general business of Sydney.
The report of the Provincial Banking Corpora-
tion has been issued to-day. The accounts, made
up to the end of June last, show that the gross
profits have been £30,598 18s. 9d. ; and the direc-
tors recommend a dividend, free of income tax, at
the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the half-year.
Mr. J. B. Gibbons and Mr. J. H. Tillett, the
liquidators of the East of England Bank, have de-
clared a further dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound
(making with previous dividends 205.), and have
Made it payable in Norwich on the 6th August and
the four following days.

The English Stock Market has been slightly de-
pressed this morning in consequence of speculative
sales, notwithstanding the political intelligence from
the Continent is favourable and the accounts from
the country respecting the crops are satisfactory.
