From the report and accounts of the Thames and
Mersey Marine Insurance Company, it appears that
the balance carried forward on the 31st of Decem-
ber amounts (including the reserve fund, £79,000)
to £527,394, exclusive of the paid-up capital of
£200,000. The directors now recommend a pay-
ment of 4s. per share, free of income-tax, being at
the rate of 20 per cent. ; and they also propose that
they be empowered to pay a similar dividend and
bonus for the half-year ending the 30th of June
next, should they deem it expedient.
The report of the General Credit Company to be
Presented on the sth of February shows an available
total of £200,071, and recommends a dividend of
108. per share, which, with the payment of 2s. last
August, makes a total distribution for the year at
the rate of 15 per cent. on the paid-up capital of
£1,000,000. The sum of £50,000 is to be added to
reserve, which will then stand at £175,000, and
£25,071 will remain to be carried forward.
The movements of the precious metals during the
week have been to a moderate extent. The imports
have amounted to about £245,419, chiefly- from
New York and Australia ; while the exports have
been £625,725, the greater portion of which has
been in silver to Bombay.

Dulness has been the principal feature in the
Markets for stocks and shares, and owing to the
absence of dealings on speculative account and for
investment prices have slightly given way. Consols
areB6B 87 for money, and 87 8 for the account.
The New Threes are 864 87 ; Exchequer Bills,
6s. to 3s. dis. ; India Stock, 208 2101 ; ditto

In the Railway Share Market the operations hava

politan and Midland 10s. ; and North Western,
15s. ; while London, Chatham, and Dover have
declined 10s.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive,
