it up the " rest" would be touched to some extent.
At the half-yearly meeting of the Union Bank of
Australia, a dividend of 3 per cent, for the half►-year and

The accounts from the West Indies, by the steamer
Great Western, appear upon perusal to be more satis-
factory, and there is certainly a comparatively cheerful

crop had been saved, consequently it would
prove late. Tt e tariff Bill Lad been virtually rejneed.
as the Assembly considered tie duties on many articles
to have been rated too high. In Barbadoes refreshing
showers had fallen, and business was gradually but
surely improving. There was rather keen competition
in the dry goods l►ne. and the import; of American pro-
duce were large. Several regular traders were expected

The Jama'ca Legislature had referred the Bill for

cial committee, but there was no pi obability of the pro-

The English Funds do not maiiitain the improvement
f Saturday, money stock having been brought t
market, and apparently una, r the impression that the
Russian lean must have au influence upon the value of
cash. Consols have been 961 to 968 for Transfer, and
965 to 968 for Account ; but we attach not
the slightest importance to the reason for the
existing heaviness which we have heard assigne:l in
some quarters, viz., that the Indian news is not alto-
gather satiefectory. Consols at present are 96?-, 4 for
Transfer, and 965 for Account. Exchequer-bills are
not higher than 58s. to 605., and India Bonds are 955.

terest. Peruvian Stock is worth 684 to 695. Equador
has been 38 to 4, and Buenos Ayres has touched 50 to
52. Russian Bonds have been heavy at 1095. Dutch
