of yesterday :
The funds were perfectly stationary in price, and very
little business was done. The other departments of the
Stock Exchange were likewise extremely inactive. The
discount market presented little alteration, but the
supply of money was ample. At the Bank the amount
of business was only moderate.—Daily News.
The English funds have been steadily maintained
to-day. The discount business of the Bank of England
continues on an extensive scale at the minimum rate of
4 per cent. In the Stock Exchange, however, shod
loans were obtainable to-day at 2 per cent. In the
foreign exchanges, Peruvian descriptions continue in
good demand at a strong tendency. There were no
bullion operations at the Bank to-day. The amount to
be forwarded by the steamer Ceylon to India and China
is £273,459 in silver, and £17,418 in gold.—Times.

The principal feature was a fresh rise of 1 per cent.
in Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway stock, in conse-
quence of a number of purchases, accompanied by a
report that the forthcoming dividgad will be very good,
and probably at the rate of 5! err cent. per annum.—
Daily News.
In the railway market the principal feature has been
a rise ofd per cent. in Lancashire and Yorkshire stock,
which was in good demand owing to a reported large
increase in the forthcoming dividend, and to the con-
tinued augmentation in the traffic. Other stocks were
generally firm, especially during the later hours of
business.—Times.

The LONDON COLONIAL WOOL SALES com-
menced this evening with a very moderate
attendance of buyers, especially of foreign. Good
and fine parcels changed hands readily at very
full prices, but the bidding for inferior qualities
ruled somewhat inactive at the rates of last sale.
Nearly the whole of the Wool offered (2,536
bales, of which 1,013 were from New Zealand)
was taken for home use. The selling broker was
H. P. Hughes.
The LONDON TALLOW MARKET to-dalwas firm,
at 52s 9d to 53s on the spot, and 52s 6d to 52s 9d
last three months.

The BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—Most kinds of
Hops continue to advance in prices owing to the
unfavourable accounts from the plantations, and
the market generally is firm.
The METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.—Prime
Beasts and Sheep sold steadily at very full prices,
but inferior kinds were dull, and rather 'easier.
iambs, Calves, and Pigs sold to a fair extent, at
full quotations.

CORN MARKETS.—MANCHESTER : There was a
moderate attendance at this morning's market. The
business transacted consisted chieily of a few purchases
of Wheat : English, owing to its scarcity, realised
rather over last week's rates, whilst foreign sold to a
fair extent, at fully previous prices. Flour was entirely
neglected, and quotations remain nominally as before.
Oats a slow sale on former terms ; but the best descrip-
tions of Oatmeal were more inquired for. Indian Corn
was more pressingly offered, at a redaction of is per
quarter, whilst Beans were without change in value.—
BIRMINGHAM : There was again a short supply of
English Wheat, which realised an advance of is per
quarter. Barley was 6d per quarter chehper, and Oats
dull with a downward tendency. Beans were firm, but
Peas rather cheaper.
CATTLE MARKETS.—DUBLIN : The supply of
stock at market was somewhat larger than on this day
week, and the demand brisk for all descriptions, without
any change in prices.—GLASQOW : The supply of Cattle
was smaller than last week. Good qualities were in
brisk demand at higher prices, but middling and inferior
sold slowly at about last week's quotations. There was
about the same number of Sheep and Lambs, the demand
for which was good at last week's quotations. Prices__

645 per-cwt. ; Mutton, 7d to 8d ; Lamb, 70 to 8d per lb.

namely, the existence of native diamonds, has been
made. The stone was discovered in the black sand of
the Ovens district by an Irish miner, named O'Neil.
Rubies and other gems of very small size had previously
been found in the same deposit.—Australian and New
Zealand Gazette.

A TUNNEL THROUGH MOUNT CENTS. - While a
whole continent is ringing with the achievemerits of
Italian prowess, but few have leisure to bestow a thought
on an undertaking' pregnant, perhaps, with results of
still greater importance in the annals of humanity, and
of which an honourable sentiment of national pride has
reserved the exclusive execution for the countrymen of
Galileo and Leonardo. This is the perforation of Mount
Cenis, a gigantic work, which when cemplete will abridge
by 12 or 14 hours the distance between the Italian pen-
insula and Western Europe. This tunnel was begun
three years ago. The two extremities are at Bardon-
neche, in Piedmont, and at Modane, in Savoy. The
whole distance to be cleared amounts to 13 chiliometres,
of which only one is at present completed, 600 metres
at Bardonneche, and 400 at Modane. At this rate 39
years would be required to complete the work were it
not for the engine invented by Messrs. Grandis, Grat-
toui, and Someiller, by the help of which it is calculated
that this magnificent operation will be brought to 'a
termination in about a sixth of the time. This is
always supposing that no unforeseen obstacles present
themselves at a depth of 8,916 feet (French) beneath
the earth's surface, for it must be remembered that every
step in advance is in the present case nearly equivalent
to a step downwards. The new perforator will be in
complete action by the end of the present month, and
the most sanguine hopes are entertained of a triumphant
result.—Letter from Paris: .
