MONDAY EVENING.
The English stock market remains firm, not even
a fractional variation in price occurred to-day, busi-
ness being very restricted. On Thursday the divi-
dends will fall payable, and to-morrow the govern-
ment broker will resume his usual purchases on ac-
eount of the Sinking Fund. The large imports of
specie and bullion now coming forward, together
with the intelligence of the extraordinary yield of
the Australian gold fields, are all calculated to in-
spire confidence. The official business list includes
only Consols for money, at ON, ; and for account,
at 981, 1 1. The closing quotation was 984 to 1
both for Cash and the 13th.
Exchequer Bills were rather more offered to-day,
and the March bills were at one time purchased at
70s. prem., but the quotation left off 68s. to 71s.
The June bills are worth 66e. to 1395. prem.
pram
Bonds mark 68s. to 71s. prem.
In the foreign house Mexican and Spanish Bonds
engage the chief attention. Spanish docks of all
descriptions were in demand, the old Threes rising to
47, and the Deferred debt to 211. Compared with
the prior of last Monday these figures show a
rise of 3 per cent. on the former, and of
11 per cent. on the latter. After business beers
on Saturday the price of Mexican Bonds was put
lower, and to-day the quotation has not maintained
the fulle advance established in the latter part of the
week. Upon the announcement of a large remittance
having come to hand on dividend account, however,
the price became stronger, and left off 341 to 1.
Among the cargo of the Orinoco are two came of
Bonds =awned to Col. Facie, so that it is hoped
the long-delayed conversion will now make progress.
It may be of interest to mention that Mr. Faloonnet,
the bondholders' agent, left England on his return
to the scene of his duties in the Great Western
steamer, which sailed on the 2nd inst. In accordance
with the announcement made by us a few days ago,
a notice was to-day issued by Col. Facie, stating that
holders of the certificates of arrears desirous of im-
mediately receiving 41 per cent. of their claim, may
have them damped by him, and will then receive
that amount from Messrs. Bering Brothers, lees four
months' interest, at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum.
Venezuelan Bondi were very good in the earlier
part of the day, but were sold at • lower figure in
the afternoon, although the Committee's adnoes
(published below) are favourable. Buenos Ayrean
Bonds are firm, and all other stocks well supported.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Old Five
per Cents., 1001 ex div. ; ditto, for account, 16th of
April, 991 ex dry. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents.,
76, 77, 78. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 601;

461, 46,1; ditto, New Deferred Three per Cents., 211,
21, 4, 201, j. Venezuelan Actives, 481 1,1, 471..
The opinion expressed by as that ;he specie un-
mts this week would be unusually heavy, is already
borne out by facts. To-day we are informed, almost
eimultaneously, of the receipt of 430,0001. in specie
at Southamptol by the two West India steamers;
whilst three vessels from Australia, all bringing
quantities of colonial gold are reported as having
arrived off the coast. Of these the Idlackfriar brings
over about 40,0001. worth, the Alert 00,000 oanooro.l
and the Bolivar a considerable quantity. Further
supplies are on their way, and the Hero was about to
sail from the other side with 30,000 ounces. The ac-
counts of the extraordinary yield of the gold fields
have Again excited much interest ; as it appears
difficult to fix a limit to the extent and importance
of the discoveries daily made.
The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent
per annum yielded by the various English securities
cited at the average of the prices now ruling. Where
the asterisk (') is prefixed, it is to bo understood that
the share rate of interest is lees the income-tax. It
will be seen that in every case we take the rate of
interest last declared as the basis of our calculation.
To render the results strictly accurate, the pro-
port ion of interest which may have anceued since
last dividend period should, in each ease, be taken
into account:
