The stock markets are flat to-day, with a pre ponderance of sales, owing chiefly to the prospect of further commercial failures. Commis have declined 1-16 per cent., and the downward movement extends to British lines and foreign securities, the most important variations being in Metropolitan Railway stock, and Confe_ derate Bonds and Commlidis.

A considerable amount of Indian and Australian paper has arrived at maturity to-day. In the Stock Exchange there is only a slight inquiry for short loans on English government securities, and the charge has declined to 2 to 24 per cent. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's ' telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 67fr. 60c., being sc. lower than yesterday.

The Confederate Seven per Cent. Cotton Loan, now quoted 18 to 20, was brought out about two years ago-viz., in March, 1863-at 90 per cent., and at one period commanded a premium of 5 to 51 upon that price. The amount was originally 3,000,0001. sterling, but has since been considerably reduced by the application of the sinking fund of 5 per cent, per annum, combined with the extinc tion of the bonds against cotton bought tram the Confederate government, in accordance with the terms of the prospectus. The depreciation is enor mous, but it would be incorrect to assume that the loss bas fallen with any peculiar severity upon in dividual holders ; it has, on the contrary, been widely diffused, for, owing to its essentially specu lative nature, the s tock has been passed from hand to hand with great rapidity. The Nyanza, from Alexandria, has brought 24,0001. in specie, and the America, from New York, 22,5001. About 25,000 sovereigns from Egypt were sent into the Bank yesterday. The biddings for 30,00,000 rupees (300,000/.) in bills OD India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were to Cal cutta, 2,70,000 rupees, and to Madras, 35,000 rupees. The minimum price was fixed at Is. lid. l on Calcutta and Madras, and Is. 114 d. on Bombay. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at the minimum will receive in fulL Oa Bombay all the tenders were below the minimum. The Union Bank of Australia, as financial agents of the government of Queensland, invite tenders, receivable until noon on Wednesday, the 3rd of May, for 6 per cent debentures to the amount of 127,5001., being the balance issued under the recent act of the colonial legislature. These debentures are of 1001. each, and become due the let January, 1884. The principal and interest are payable in London or Brisbane, at the option of the holder. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have by a large majority, repealed the rule made some time back which prohibited, or rather imposed disabilities in respect of, dealings prior to allot ment. The law in question is comprised in rule 290, which has hitherto stood as follows : The committee will appoint a settling day for trainee- Mons is shares of a new company, if no allegation of fraud or misrepresentation be substantiated. and provided se& dent scrip costume be ready for delivery ; tut such settk meld shall be special, and shall nit apply to bargains made previously to complete delivery of the allotment letters, and +to differences arming out of such bargain* shall (underany circumstances) be allowed as claims against a defaulter's estate, nor shall any buying in or selling out for the settle. merit of such bargains be sanctioned or permitted. The portion of the above printed in italics was added to the rule nearly a twelvemonth ago, and it is this portion which, subject to formal confirmation of yesterday's resolution un Monday next, is now repealed. In their present decision the committee appear to have bad no consideration what ever to present market prices, but have rightly regarded the question as one of prin ciple. To make a law without attaching any penalty for its violation was an obvious mistake.
