Two o'CLoci. The Directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly meeting to-day, have reduced the minimum rate of discount from 8 to 7 per cent., making • total reduction of 2 per cent. within a fortnight. To day's measure had been generally anticipated, in consequence of the fall in the value of money in the general market, and of the accumulation of gold here. The movement at the Bank gave a momentary impulse to prices in the Stock Exchange this morn ing, but, business being very languid, most classes of securities, including the English funds, home railways, and foreign stocks, are now quoted much the same as yesterday afternoon. Midland rail way stock is exceptionally better. Notwithstanding the reduction in the Bank rate to-day, the discount market continues very quiet, and the quotation for choice bills is fractionally below the reduced minimum of that establishment. In the Stock Exchange there is a good demand for short loans on government securities, but the supply is very large. The rate is 4to 5 per cent. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rental opened at 66fr. 80c., showing no change. Consols are now quoted 911, with div., for money, and 901, ex div., for the account (June 8). The official business report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 911, 1, ; ditto for account, 901, 1 ; Three per I Cents. Reduced, 891, 1, ; New Three per Cents., 891, ; Bank Stock, 237 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 105/, 1 ; ditto Bonds, 23.. dia The Confederate loan has fluctuated considerably: after touching 66, " buyers," the price is now only 61 to 63, being 1 per cent. lower than yesterday. Other foreign stocks are generally steady. Mexican Bonds are quoted 441 to 464, being rather firmer ; Greek, 241 to 1; Spanish Pas sive, 34 to 1 ; and Turkish Consolidds, 481 to 1. Transactions are recorded as follows : Egyptian, 1011 ; Greek, for account, 241, 24 ; Italian, for amount, 68 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 441, 45 ; ditto, Anglo-French Six per Cents., 1,1 poem. ; Moorish, 95 ; Portuguese, 1866, kc., for aooount, 49, 481; Russian, 1850, 854, 841 ; ditto 1862, 871, ex div.'; Sardinian, for account, 861 ; Spanish Passive, for account, 34, 1 ; Turkish, 1868, for account, 69 ; ditto, 1862, 71 ; ditto, for account, 71, 1 ; ditto 1001.

Foos o'Cwcz. Consols are unaltered, at 91k, with div., for stoney, and 808, ex div., for the account. 53,0001. in gold has been bought by the Bank. The large sum of 114,0001. in gold, mostly American, was bought by the Bank yesterday, making a total of 459,0001. for the week. The influx of specie from New York continues on a large scale. The City of Washington, which has just arrived at Queenstown, has brought 234,0001. The receipts of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the month of April were 227,267 dab., with 177 miles open, against 222,322 dole in March, when 173 miles were open. The prospectus of the Reading Iron Works Com pany (Limited) is issued. The special object of this undertaking is to purchase and carry on the old established business of Messrs. Barrett, Ezell, and Andrewes, engineers, ironfoonders, and manu facturers of agricultural machinery and implements, of Reading. By the agreement entered into, the Kateegrove Iron Works, together with the good will, stook in trade, plant, ac., are transferred to the company. It appears that the vendors will remain large shareholders in the concern, and they have agreed not to receive any interest on their shares until a minimum dividend of 5 per cent. has been paid on the remainder of the subscribed capital. This agreement is to extend over a period of five years. Two of the partners actively engaged in the management of the business take seats at the board, and the services of the present staff are to be retained. The capital is 300,0001., in 10,000 shares of 201. each, of which one-half are to be issued in the first instance. We are informed that the Oriental and General Marine Insuranoe Company have entered into a provisional agreement to amalgamate with the Albert Insurance Company (Limited) (Fire and Marine), transferring to the latter company the entire business, staff, and aloes in Finch-lane. A general meeting of the Bahia Steam Naviga tion Company is to be held ou the 2nd of June. The share certificates of the European Central Railway Company are to be ready for delivery on the 27th inst. The list of applications for shares in the Mari time Credit Company will be closed on Wednesday, the Ist inns, for London ; and on Thursday, the 2nd, for the country. The share list of the Scottish and Universal Finance Bank is announced to be closed on Tuesday next. The half-yearly dividend due the let June, on the Swedish Provincial Four per Cent. Mortgage Loan, is announced for payment in due course by Messrs. Dent, Palmer, and Co. WIDIIIIIDAT Evzinara. Consols, which closed yesterday at 90j to }, ex div. for the Bth of June, were first marked to-day 90j, and closed at 9011, or 90 7-16 to 9-16. For money the last price was 913 with div.:—The official business report is as follows Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 911, 1. ar ; ditto, for account, 9011, ; Three per Ceuta.

Debentures, 186 d The India Five per Cent. stock was firm ; Ex chequer Bills were steady, the March at 13e. to Bs. di.. and the June at Ba. to 3s. die. In the foreign stock market the principal fluctua tion was in the Confederate Loan. This stock fell S per oeot. in the morning, upon rumours that the intelligence from America was very unfavourable to the Southern cause. After falling to 60, however, the price closed at 82 to 64, being about 3 per cent. lower than yesterday. The partial rally was caused by the publication of the New York telegrams in the late editions of the daily . journals. Most other foreign stocks were fi rm, w ith • rather favourable teodesey. The market for bank shares was very quiet, with little change in prices. Bank of Queensland, Land Mortgage Bank of India, and Scinde, Punjaub, and Delhi Bank shares were slightly flatter. Hudson's Bay Shares were firm, at 191 to and Egyptian Trading dull, at 2 1 3i prem. Conti nental Union Gas shares continue in demand, with an upward tendency. An improvement also oc curred in Ocean Marine Insurance, London and Provincial Marine Insurance, and Sod4t4 Mere d'Eapte.
