business was resumed in the stock Exchange this
morning, without any material change in the market,
the tone being everywhere very quiet—almost dull.
the holiday season is now at its height, and as the
present share account closes on Friday, it is not ex-
pected that much new business will he opened this
week. The continual lassitude of the French Bourse
is not without its effect. Nearly all Foreign Stocks
are per cent. lower. Turkish, upon speculative sales
in anticipation of a new loan, are 5 per cent. lower.
Per,Yptians are flatter, including the .New Scrip, which
is now at par. Railway and other shares are not much
changed.
The Money Market is rather less inanimate than

tinental account and there is consequently a decline
in prices. Turkish (1865) are 4 lower, 39± to 395 ;
and there is a fall of ± in Viceroy's Seven per Cents.,
at 711 to 711; in the Egyptian Scrip, at ± dis to t
pre m. ; in Peruvian, at 774 to 78 ; and in Italian, at
521 to 53 ; United States 5-20 Bonds are steady, at
72g. to 727 g ; Honduras is firmer, at 825 to 83 ; Mexi-
can Bonds are 151 to 152 ; Greek, 135 to 14 ;
and Egyptian (1864), 83 to 84.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
are 392 to 40f, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds
391 to 401. Erie shares are flat, at 43 to 44 ; an,
d
Illinois at 945 to 955.

to 108?; 8; but Bombay and Baroda are hardly so good,
at 103 to 104. East Indian, 1085 to 109 k.

1122 to 113± ; Caledonian, 74.1 to 741 ; and Chat-

distribution is proposed equal to 10 per cent. per
payable on the 28th inst., leaving a balance
£522,240 Cs 11d. The directors regret that the
OW rates of ifiterest obtainable on first-cuss advances
render expedient a reduction of the rate of extra
dividend but the directors have nevertheless pleasure
in referring to the preceding balance sheet to show
that the diminution of profit is not attributable to
any curtailment of the ordinary business of the
IT)auk, nor to any falling off in its resources.
pe directors are confident that on a general revival
I) the trade Of the country, and a consequent increase
the value of money, the bank will realise profits
Tln excess of the former rates of dividend, but in the
se.a,ntitne they can only conduce to that end by the
'll44_"Y attention bestowed on the current business with
beento its safe and profitable extension. During
