In the LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH SECURI-
TIES to-day Consols have been very dull through-
out at 951 to 951, declined to 95. There was
almost nothing to do.

The following appeared in our second edition
of yesterday :
No gold operaticns of any importance took place at
the Bank yesterday,
On the 30th April the India paper registered as
belonging to English holders was £6,382,342, showing
an increase of £2,683,252 since the 31st of October,
1859.
On the Paris Bourse money is so abundant that
scarcely any interest can be obtained for loans on
Government securities. fq a greater or less degree the
same feature is observable on nearly all the continental
Bourses.
At the reduced charge of 4 per cent. a good amount
of business was transacted to-day at the discount office at
the Bank, whence it may be inferred many persons held
back in anticipation of the alteration. At Lombard-
street a similar feature was presented, the clemand being
slack in the morning, but decidedly reviving in the
afternoon. The terms generally current for the best
bills were nto 4 per cent. The change at the Bank,
combined with the splendid weather, and the firmness of
the Paris Bourse, gave a stimulus to the stock markets
this morning. Consols at one period attained a fresh
rise of to a per cent.; the closing quotations were
barely 1 aboye those of yesterday. In the other depart-
ments of the Stock Exchange the immediate tendency of
prices was likewise favourable, although business excited
•little revival.—Daik Hews.
The redaction in the rate of discount was considered
certain, and it has, therefore, not e4ercise4 any appre-
ciable influence on the funds. According t 9 the appear-
'nee of the foreign exchanges, theie is little prospect
that it will be followed by any speedy reaction indeed,
the probabilities lie rather in the direction of increased
ease, the political uncertainties of the Continent tending
not only to prevent capital from being widely diffused in
trading operations, but also to render it difficult for
Russian, Austrian, or other foreign loans to be con-
tracted in the London market. Consols opened this
morning st a further fractional improvement, and soon
experienced another advance, which was firmly main-
tained to the close, the early prices frein saris being
favourable. There was a fair demand for discount at
the Bank to-day, at the reduced rate. The interest on
deposit at the Joint Stock Banks has been reduced to a
uniform rate of 3 per cent. The discount houses have
lowered their terms to 3 per cent. for money at call,
and 31 with a few days' notice.— Times.
The LONDON SAE gARKET to-day was very
inactive, and prices generally declined, closing
about 4 per cent. lower than yesterday. Canadians
a shade easier.
