Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , August 31 , 1855 . This has been but a quiet week with the Stock Exchange ; verv many , and more than its usual number of members , have already taken flight for their summer trip , and very little business has been done . Even the settlement of the account for the end of the month has passed off with more than usual trauquility , the freedom from fluctuation denoting that further news from abroad alone would influence the present general steadiness of the markets . The English Stock Market remains singularly quiet and free from change , pending the receipt of more decided news from the East . The discount market continues easy , and money still finds it difficult to get employment , The settlement for the Ardennes Railway , the prices of which have somewhat rfar . lined . is on Monday next , as also for the new shares of
the Great Western of Canada Railway Company . Turkish , new and old , still occupying much public attention , show inferior prices to our last quotations , Turkish 6 per cent , settling for the 31 st at the making up price 93 J and j account i per cent . Contango for continuation of stock . The Mining Market is comparatively deserted , and the nominal quotations , at which it is < umcult to realise a transaction at any approximate price , offer a striking contrast to the once high prices of these securities . Among the Railway meetings of the week may be mentioned the South Devon half-yearly meeting at Plymouth , declaring a dividend of . 5 s . 6 d . per share for the half year ; and authorising the Directors to issue the remaining new stock . The meeting of the South Eastern Railway Company took place yesterday ( the Thirtyfirst half-yearly meeting ) , declaring the dividend , or 8 s . 6 a . per 301 . share on the Consolidated Stock of the Company , and adopting the report unanimously , the meeting then became special for the purpose of resolving that the bormw « 1 monevs . or nart thereof not exceeding two millions
sterling , might be converted to an equal amount of the Company's Stock . After some discussion the amount of one million was substituted for two , and the resolution passed as amended . Meetings also of the North JDevon , Whitehaven and Furness Junction , Caledonian and Dumbartonshire , Vale of Neath ( 3 | per cent , dividend declared ) , and Rhymney Railways have occurred during the week ; Money this day shows more activity . At Paris Three per Cent . Rentes ruled at slightly improved quotations owing to heavy purchases . Russian stock has much depreciated in value at Hamburg ; Austrian stock has somewhat improved . The Turkish Pour per Cents , settlement has been fixed for "Wednesday next . The Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway holds . its own , the traffic for the week ending last Sunday amounting to—passengers , 922 ? . ; goods , 282 ? .: total , 1204 Z . The compromise offered by the Government of Venezuola ' was unanimously rejected by the bondholders at the meeting yesterday . Better terms are Consols close 914 ; Turkish Six per Cent ., 933 , 8 ; Turkish Four per Cent ., 1 J , h
