Great inconvenience has been experienced in the
half-monthly settlements at the Stock Exchange in
the foreign department, through the practice of
adjusting differences by the taking in or lending
upon stock instead of by tickets as iu the railway
share settlements. The question has been once or
twice brought before the committee, and yesterday
it was resolved that the arrangement shall hereafter
be by tickets.
There was a report yesterday that an injunction
had been obtained against the Metropolitan Dis-
trict Railway restraining the directors from opening
the line. 'This turned out to be incorrect, but it
transpired that proceedings had taken place before
Vice-Chancellor Malins in connection with the
subject, the application being made by the gover-
nors of the poor of Emanuel Hospital. It was de-
ciped on the claim for land that the directors must
deposit £10,475, with interest at 5 per cent., in the
London and Westminster Bank.

guaranteed capital of the Great Indian Penin-
sula Railway Company, which is to be officially
quoted.

Of the £BOO,OOO six per cent. mortgage bonds of
the Pennsylvania Railway Company, for which
tenders were invited, about £140,000 was subscribed
at or above the minimum price, which was fixed at
85.

The Anglo-Hungarian Bank have declared an
interim dividend of 6s. 10d. sterling per share.
The directors of the National Provincial Bank of
England have again voted a bonus of 10 per cent.
to all their officers and clerks on their salaries for
the present year.

The Master of the Rolls has made an order for
the reduction of the capital of the international
Financial Society to £1,500,000, divided into
150,000 shares of £lO each, with £5 paid thereon.
The order may not possibly be drawn up before the
holidays, so that the actual registration of the re-
duction may perhaps be delayed for two or three
weeks ; but, apart from these technicalities, the
Matter is complete.
The Baltic Coffee-house will be closed on Satur-
day next. In Mincing-lane the sugar market will
be shut from Thursday next till the sth of January,
and no further public sales of coffee will be made
till the 6th.

At the meeting of the Ceylon Company (Limited)
a dividend was declared at the rate of 6 per cent.
per annum, free of income tax.

A general meeting of the Mexican Railway Com-
pany (Limited) is convened for the 30th inst.
It appears from the following note that the
money-lenders who obtrude their services on youths
in the army or at college continue actively at work.
Probably Christmas time and the close of the year,
when debts accumulate, constitute a great period
for these circulars :

" London, Dec. 22.

"Sir,—The enclosed circular has just been re-
ceived by my son, who is a freshman at Trinity
College, Cambridge.
" Such a system of presenting temptation to
young men should be exposed, and I am sure you
would be rendering a service to society by giving
Publicity to it.

"Your obedient servant, " S. L."
" Carlton-chambers, 8, Regent-street, S.W.,
London, December 18, 1868."'

MARKE7 S-2111S DAY.

LIVERPOOL COTTON.
December 23.—Sales probably 10,000 bales. Market
quiet and unchanged.

" Sir,—l shall have much pleasure in advanc-
ing you any money you may require on your note
of hand only, on much lower terms than those
Usually charged.
" ' Should security be given, I am prepared to
entertain proposals at 5 per cent. per annum for a
long or short period. Advances made pending ne-
gottation.

MARK LANE.

At Mark-line this morning there was a thin attendance
of the trade. English wheat was in quiet demand at steady
prices: Foreign moved off in retail parcels without altera-
tions in the quotations. Flour quiet. Oats are firmer
with a fair inquiry.
SMITHFIELD AND LEADENHALL.

The supply of dead meat is large, and prices are rather
lower. The beef trade is heavy, and a decline has taken
place of 2d per stone. The mutton trade is a trifle firmer,
and veal and pork are unchanged.
BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

" In all transactions the greatest confidence is
observed, and communications will receive imme-
diate attention.

" Yours, most obediently,

The demand continues good for the best descriptions.
English regents, 60s to 120 s; York ditto, 70s to 160 s;
Lincol❑ ditto, 70s to 100 s ; Scotch ditto, 70e to 1208 ;
Daubers, 80s to 140 s ; French, 40s to 60s per ton.

MONEY IN NEVADA—The Virginia (Nevada) En-
rerprise has the following :—" Parties from White Pine tell

" ' No commission or agent's fees charged.' "

it as a fact that in the towas in that region lumps of silver
ore are used as a circulating medium, and are found to
answer very well in the absence of a suffi:iency of coin.
Even at the gaming tables ore goes. The kind of ore used
is the pure chloride, which is so rich as to be quite
malleable. A miner, with a sack of this kind of cur-
rency under his arm, marches up to the faro table,
takes out a chunk and plants it upon a card, call-
ing its value as he puts its down. For instance, the
chunk is supposed to be worth five dollars ; the
miner, as he puts down his lump, says—' Five dollars.
The faro man picks up the piece, looks at it, and, if satis-
fied, says—' Five dollars goes ;' then wins the lump and
throws it into a gunny sack standing behind him."

Game is supplied from the market of Chicago to
all the Atlantic cities, and the States from which it comes
are Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Mis-
souri. The first three States send prairie chickens, wild
ducks, and quails. Venison comes from Wisconsin and
Michigan ; wild turkeys, prairie chickens, and quails from
Missouri. The shooting season commences about the 15th
of August, but the game does not begin to come to Chicago
in large quantities until cold weather sets in, when ship-
ments can be consigned to the East. During this autumn
it is estimated that 30,000 quail, 25,000 prairie chickens,
and 3,000 wild ducks have been sold in Chicago. The
Nevada State markets are now supplied daily with fresh
sea fish from San Francisco—bass, tom-cod, smelts,
flounders, &c., which are preferred by many to Lake
Tahoe trout.

Without discussing," says the Pall Mall
Gazette, " the interesting paper on London charities and
pauperism read last night by Dr. Hawksley at the So-
ciety of Arts, we may note one fact for the benefit of
American readers Who think we allow our poor to
starve without stretching out a finger to help
them. In this metropolis alone £7,ooG,ooo—for the
benefit of Americans let us say 3,000,000 dollars
gold—is spent in the relief of distress every year.
When a visitor from across the Atlantic is accosted by
beggars, he exclaims, Hard-hearted nation to permit
all this.' Let such persons think of that seven millions,
and do their best to prevent the poor-laws in their
own country from ever getting into the plight in which
ours are now. Perhaps, also, these same Americans will
see reason to doubt whether they are doing any vast
amount of goad by distributing largesse to profes-
sional beggars as they pass through our streets."
They do not profess to be doing a vast amount of good, but
they believe that if one out of six be a real object of
charity some good may be done, and if they find a pleasure
in these gifts we can see no reason why they should not
gratify themselves, knowing that most of those they help
arojust such impostors as many directors.
