LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING.
At the breaking up of the weekly Bank Court,
the directors announced that the rate of discount
will in future•be 44 per cent.
The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH SECURITIES,
to-day, was almost at a stand. The market opened
heavily, and n9twithstanding a partial rally
through a large purchase of Consols, the announce-
ment of a rise in the Bank rate of discount caused
an immediate decline of s per cent., Consols for
money being now quoted 944 to 4, and 944 to
for next month ; India Stock has been dealt in
at 2201- ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock for account
1041, and Exchequer Bills, 16s. pm.'
The Funds closed at the following prices :
Consols, Money
account94l
Exchequer Bills
Bank Stock -
Three per Cents
The following appeared in a portion of our
second edition of yesterday :
Increased heaviness prevailed to-day in the
•
Stock -Exchange. Speculative realisations were
pressed in consequence of the unsatisfactory
character .of the edntinental advices, combined
with a rumour that an . advance in the Bank of
England rate of discount at to-morrow's weekly
court-is not improbable. All the markets closed
with a heavy and sensitive appearance at the
lowest point of the day. The reduction finally
established in Consols -amounted to per cent.
The-demand at.the Bank to-clay was very brisk,
only the choicest paper is taken elsewhere at 4
per cent.—Daily News.
The English funds have not experienced any
further change, to-day from political considera-
tions, but the renewed feeling of uncertainty
again interrupts business in all departments. A
temporary- further decline in the morning was
attributable •to a great pressure in the discount
market, which is likely to continue to the end of
the -week, and' -which led to the 'circulation of a
report that an advance of 1 per cent..in the Bank
rate may be expected at the weekly court to-
morrow. The excessive demand at this moment
is not from any outflow of bullion, but simply
from the absorption of ,the currency from the
hands of the public into those of the Bank by
the--magnitude of the revenue payments ; and it
has never yet been the practice of the Bank to
take advantage of that circumstance to increase
the terms on which they will allow it to flow
back. Unless there are some reasons unknown
to the public, an advance of the rate to 5 per
cent. previously to the payment of the dividends
would seem precipitate. No gold was taken
from the Bank to-day. In the railway market
there has been -little general business done, and
after a few fluctuations British stocks closed at a
further decline of 4, to a per cent.—Times.
The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day
was on the whole less depressed than during -yes-
terday ; but no- actual recovery has taken place,
and business transactions are limited. London,

erns, 68 to 4 ; Caledonians, 901 ; Eastern Coun-
ties, Al ; Midlands, 114 to 1 ; and South Easterns,
871 to -I; East Indians are 102 and 1014.
