LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING.

In the LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH STOCIC9
to-day, a rather firmer tone prevailed at the
opening, though the operations have not been of
an extensive character. Consols were first quoted
951 to !, and remained steady at that price till
an advanced hour of the morning, when a
slight reaction ensued, uad the present
quotations stand at 931 to for money and
account, and 95i I for next month. Bank Stock
has been dealt in at 226 and 227 ; Reduced Three
per Cents., 931! 3 and a ; New Threes, 93/ and
a ; India Debentures, 97 ; Enfaced Rupee Paper,
Five-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 and 1041 ; and
Exchequer Bills, Small, 109. and Os. pm.

The following appeared in our second edition
of yesterday :
The stock markets retain a rather decided tendency
to improvement, through a rise of k per cent., at
which the funds opened this morning, was not subse-
quently supported. Many other kinds of securities
were quoted at a moderate advance. Various foreign
stocks and American railway shares are likewise attract-
ing increased attention. Confidence was stimulated by
the influx of gold, and by the state of the discount
market, which have induced an impression that the
Bank rate of discount will be lowered within the next
eight days. The discount market was quiet. Tran-
sactions took place in the best bills at a reduction of
,A per cent. from the Bank of England minimum ; very
little business was, consequently, done at that establish-
ment.—Daily News.
The English funds opened this morning with con-
tinued firmness, at the final prices of Monday ; subse-
saently the market was affected by a number of realisa-
tions, but there was still a steady appearance at the
close. Much uncertainty prevails as to whether the
Bank of England will make a reduction in their rate of
discount to-morrow to 4} per cent. No doubt is felt
that the movement will take place either this week or
next. The .amount of gold purchased by the Bank
to-day was £BO.OOO. The whole of the recent Australian
arrivals are expected to be taken there. The precise
amount of specie that will be taken by the out-going
steamer on Friday is £219,679—a1l silver, with the
exception of £3,B4l.—Tiutes.
