FRIDAY LTA.

The demand at the Bank of England discount
office to-day showed an increase, being rather brisk,
out there was ko change in the general market,
where go,•1 LIP; c :Winne to be taken at 31 per
cent., with 0, C:: al tra I:.• octions at 31. Tho
purchases of gull y t:o. Bank, involving, as they
do, a proportional,: creation of new notes, are
calculated to keep the market moderately easy.
Consols, which clesto yesterda, at 031, "sellers,"
for the 9th Sc !ober, stir first marked this
morning 931 and 3, and closed at 93 to 1. For
money the last price was 921 to 93. Trans-
actions are officially recorded as follows :—Three
per Cent. Console, for money, 93/, 92/ ; ditto, for
account (9th Sept.), 931, 1, 93 ; Three per Cents.
Reduced, 93, 1; New Three per Cents., 931, 93, 931;

The India Five per Cent. stock remains steady,
at 108 t to ; and India Bonds, at 16s. to 19s.
prem. Exchequer Bills were unaltered, at ls. dia.
to 2s. prem.
Foreign stocks generally were steady. The prin-
cipal feature was an active demand in the afternoon
for Spanish Passive Bonds, which rose / per cent,
in consequence of the displacement of the Minister
of Finance at Madrid. The Certificates have not
moved much. . . .

The depression hi Hudson's Bay shares to-day
was severe, the price falling to 3to 2j die., and
closing at 21 to 2g dis., or Pia. 6d. lower than
yesterday. The depreciation seems as unreasonable
as was the premium given for the shares before
they were allotted—the real position of the
company being unaltered, unless indeed it
be for the better, since its reconstruction.
One of the causes of the fall is the fact that a pay-
ment of 5/. per share, making 101. paid, becomes
due on the lst September. The rapid incidence of
the calls being evidently the reason why the shares
are being forced in this manner from the hands of
the weaker class of holders, it seems highly desir-
able that the International Financial :Society, by
whom this company was brought out, should .take
measures to mitigate the weight of the payments.
Egyptian Trading shares were slightly Hatter, at
Ito 1 prem. International Financial fell 10s.,
closing at 3/ to 3} prem. General Credit were :ma-
paratively steady at to 1 prem., and London
Financial at 19 to 1/ prem.
