slightly heavier at the close in sympathy with consols.

of Canada Railway second six per cent. debentures has
been filled up, with the exception of £225,009, which is
now in the course of arrangement. The subscriptions
range from 80 to 84 ; but as the great bulk was at 80,
the directors have decided that it shall all be issued at
that price.

TIES to-day very little business has been doing,

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING.
Agreeably to general expectation, the Bank
Court, at its rising, announced that, in future, the
rate of discount will be 41 per cent.
The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH STOCKS
to-day opened heavily, at a fall of I per cent. in
the value of Consols, and remained dull till the
announcement of the reduction in the rate of dis-
count at the Bank, when a partial rally ensued,
and prices recovered to about the closing quota-
tions of last night. Consols for money are marked
951 to and 95: to 1 for the June account.

The following appeared in our second edition
of yesterday : p 2 7 4.
Consols have experienced a relapse of -Ito per cent.
Notwithstanding the continued influx of gold to the
Bank, and the report that the rate of discount will be
reduced to-morrow, the market closed with rather a flat
appearance. In the share markets there was no altera-
tion of striking importance, business being dull. In the
discount market there was a fair demand for money, but
the best bills were readily taken at 41-, to 4/ per cent.
Business at the Bank of England was slack, in anticipa-
tion of a reduction in the rate to-morrow.—Daily Xeum.
This has been settling day in consols, and the market
opened with great firmness ; but there was subsequently
a decline, although a further considerable amount of gold
has been taken to the Bank, and it seems to be considered
certain that the rate of discount will be reduced to-morrow
a / or perhaps I per cent. Political considerations
exercised some slight influence during the day, owing to
the smallness of the ministerial majority last evening,
and the currency of rumours to the effect that further
opposition is contemplated on the paper question. Money
was in fair supply, and at the Bank there was no demand.
The amount of gold taken to the Bank to-day was
£l3o,ooo.—Times.
