gone any alteration.

The MARKET FOR ENGLISH SECURITIES to-day
opened with firmness, and a moderate share of
business, Consols being well sustained at last
night's final quotations. At present there is a
tendency t. wards owing in a measure
to some further %s ithdrawals of gold from the
Bank, but no actual decline has resulted. Consols
for Money are' now 95 to -4, and 954 to for the
Account. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 231

The following appeared in a portion of our
impression yesterday :
The English funds opened with increased strength'
this morning, owing to the confidence entertained in
the position of the Ministry, and an impression also that
Government diplomatic efforts are being made among
the continental powers to prevent the existing foreign
complication from ending in hostilities. The demand
for discount at the Bank to-day was rather active.—
Times.

The stock markets were powerfully influenced to=day
by increased confidence in the position of politics. The
English funds have obtained a fresh rise of 1; the up-
ward movement extended to most other departments of
the Stock Exchange. The discount market remains
quiet. The terms for the best bills are 3i, to 4 per cent.
About £16,000, in gold, was taken from the Bank for
exportation. About £300;000, in silver and gold, is
expected to be sent to Bombay by the packet of the 27th
inst. The continued sales of the native paper here will
contribute to keep up the outflow.—Daily News.

The MARKET FOR FOREIGN SECURITIES to-day
has not been largely operated in, though the
values are as a rule fully supported. Mexican
Three per Cents. have been negotiated at 22.1 22
and '221 ; Original Turkish Six per Cents. at 80
and 791 ; and the New Sixes, 666 and 67 ;
Brazilian and Russian are both firmer. New
Indian Five per Cent. Loan is firm; at 10,1 to
1041. Canada Scrip is a shade better, being
quoted 21 to prem. Turkey Bank Shares are
i„ to 3 dis. The price for French Rentes on the
Paris Bourse at a quarter past twelve was
681. 65c., and subsequently 68f. 35c., the market
described as being firm and animated.

The ENGLISH RAILWAY SHARE MARKET t6-day
was active in a moderate degree, and prices are
substantially the same as at the official close
last night. Great Westerns are quoted•69l
Eastern Counties 571 and South-Easterns 89.
to 89k.

The following appeared in a portion of our
impression of yesterday :

The Times says the railway market has again been
very firm, and shows, in most cases, a further advance.
The public continue to invest in an increased rate in the

more desirable stooks, while the customary realisations
after the payment of the half-yearly dividends have on
this occasion been unusually limited.::otm

demand.- There was no disposition to take much
lower rates, therefore several remained unsold:
Calves were lower. Our foreign supply consisted
of 60 Beasts.; 100' Sheep, and 56 Calves. The
