The victory of the allies in Lombardy, the pacifie
tendency of the Queen's Speech, and the great abun-
dance of money both here and throughout the Continent,
have had a favourable influence upon the market for
home securities this week. Prices have steadily advan-
ced, and the purchases of money stock have increased to
some extent. The large amount in gold known to be on
passage from Australia, namely, R 1,037.4-88, and the
fact that about £lOO,OOO in bullion has been sold to the
bank, have imparted additional firmness to the quota-
tions.

The new Prussian loan has been formally announced
in a 5 per cent. stock, at 95. It will have no influence
here, as the whole of it will be raised in Germany.
There has been a decided improvement in the market
for American securities during the past week, and the
demand has been very general for the various State
stocks, whilst there has been more inquiry for the better
descriptions of railroad bonds.
