da-4 the meeting of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, to-
bar, the report presented by the directors, and
,„ Ithee-sheet for the second financial year, they ex-
r,ed
the s regret that the result of the operations during
to Past year has proved so unsatisfactory. This is
be attributed not to anything defective in the
e, 'nary working of the bank, but to exceptional
I,:es, which cannot fail to be appreciated by those
0 are conversant with the state of monetary affairs
o.4ring the past half-year. The attention of the
illseetors has been devoted for some time past to the
111,13ortairt question of reducing the liability of the
iFgareholders, and they have decided on recommend-
/144'g a measure which they believe will thoroughly
titifY the wishes of the proprietors.

There has been very little business in the English
Stock Market to-day, and owing to the dulness of
speculation and the absence of investments values
have slightly declined. Consols, for instance, have
receded per cent., viz., to 89i 1 for transfer, and
they are 88k 1, minus the dividend, for the account.

other hand, the New Russian Loan, Italian, and
