The Bank of England return, completed to the
24th July, shows some rather important changes.
The bullion, however, has only been increased to
a small extent. In the reserve of notes, there is
an augmentation of nearly half a million sterling,
while the other securities, owing to the easier
rates current in the general market, have been
reduced by a very large amount. The active col-
lection of the revenue has caused an addition of
about a million and a quarter to the public de-
Posits, while the private deposits show a diminu-
tion to about a similar extent. In the other
items of the balance-sheet the changes are not
important ; subjoined are the particulars:

During the last few days the operations in the
markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce have
not been of an extensive character. Tea, at public
sale, however, realised fully late prices. Sugars
have been in moderate request ; while good and
fine descriptions of coffee have been more inquired
for. Rice, fruit, and spices were neglected ; and
only limited transactions have taken place in salt-
petre and tallow, and at slightly reduced quota-
tions.

The half-yearly meeting of the Unity Joint-
Stock Mutual Banking Association was held
to-day, when the report presented showed an

per share free of income-tax.

At the meeting of the Scottish Australian Invest-
ment Company, also held today, a dividend at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared, less
Income-tax.

The tenders for the new Victoria loan of
41,000,000 for railway purposes were opened yes-
terday, and proved very numerous, the reading of
theta occupied nearly an hour and a half. The bulk
of the applications were at a fraction over 105, but
some large sums were also bid between 104 and
105. The fixed minimum was 1051, and it ap-
peared that the tenders at and above that sum re-
presented £231,500 only. Mr. Larnacb, the chair-
man of the conimittee of the six associated banks,
On announcing this result, stated that, as on the
former occasion, tenders will be received until two
O'clock this day (Friday) for the unallotted
£768,500 at not less than 1051. In answer to a
?cation whether the minimum was fixed in
victoria or London, it was mentioned that it was
fined under the authority and instructions of
the Victoria Government ; the highest application
sent in to-day was at 1054, and the lowest at 103,
one for 941 being in error for 1041. The total
tenders were for £2,395,100.
