Owing to the abundance of tonnage freights
are lower, and it is difficult to place vessels at
the present quotations. Homewards the rates
arc firm, but there is very little business doing.
For' the West Indies there is an improving
demand for tonnage, and any sized ships must

LONDON, TIICRSDAY EVENING.

Agreeably to general expectation, the Bank
Directors, at the rising of their weekly court,
announced that in future the minimum Bank
rate of discount will be 4 per cent.
The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH SECURI-
TIES to-day continued to be favourably affected,
and Consols, which were quoted * per cent.
higher in the early period of the morning, have
been stimulated to further improvement by the
reduction in the rate of discount, and most
departments of business exhibit more or less
buoyancy. Consols are now at 951 to 4 for
money, and 95 to 1 for the June account ; Bank
Stock has been dealt in at 2281 and 228 ; Reduced
Three per Cents., 931 1 and 1; New Threes,
931 1 and ; India Stock, 2191; India Del;en-
tares, 961 1 and 1 ; India Bonds, lOs and 7s dis ;
and Exchequer Bills, 8s 6s 9s and Ss pm.

In the absence of further bad news from the Conti-
nent consols continue to derive great support from the
approach of the dividend period, combined with the
decline in the value of money. A fresh improvement of
i per cent. occurred to-day, assisted by the somewhat
more cheerful character of the advices from the Paris
Bourse, and the market closed with firmness. The
upward movement extended to British and other rail-
way shares, notwithstanding the dulness of business.
The commercial demand for money was slack, and the
best bills were discounted at 41 per cent. Very little
business was done at the Bank. There is a prospect of
the minimum at that establishment being lowered to 4
per cent. within the next eight days.—. Daily News.
There has been scarcely any attendance in the city
to-day, and the transactions in the various markets
have been wholly unimportant. The comparative abun-
dance of money, the absence of any fresh disturbing
news from the continent, and the understanding that
there is no prospect of any ministerial crisis, have
canned a general improvement in all descriptions of
securities. There were no gold transactions at the
Bank to-day. From the present appearance of the
exchanges any gold arriving from Australia, New
York, or elsewhere, will be likely to be taken to the
Bank. Under these circumstances a reduction of the
rate of discount to 4 per cent. seems to be rather
generally expected to-morrow. There were scarcely
any applications at the Bank to-day, and the demand in
the open market was slight. Although only a moderate
business was transacted in the railway market, prices
generally showed firmness with a recovery, averaging
from 4. to 4per cent.—Times.
In the LONDON MARKET for FOREIGN STOCKS
to-day there was little doing, but values in all
cases have been well supported, and the tendency
is decidedly in the upward direction. Original
Turkish Six per Cents. are officially marked 751
and /, and the New Sixes 58! for money, and
521 for account ; Mexican Three per Cents are at

then rub in the ointment as salt is rubbed into meat to preserve
