The condition of monetary affairs continues un-
changed. The brokers have a full supply of money
on hand, but are unwilling to lend it out under 71
per cent. for short-dated paper. Perhaps the aspect
Is not so unfavourable, but recent revelations re-
specting the operations of some of the finance
companies have occasioned anxiety and a rather
exaggerated idea of the future.
At the third ordinary general meeting to-day of
the shareholders of the English Joint stock Bank a
dividend of 6 per cent. was declared.
At the tenth annual general meeting to-day of the
shareholders of the Bank of Egypt a dividend was
declared of 10 per cent. and a bonus of 10s. per
share.

The changes in the principal items of the Bank of
England return are comparatively unimportant, and
the authorities have failed to obtain the requisite
increase in their reserves. Annexed are the parti-
culars :__..
