The English stock market opened at the Ind
quotations of Monday, but closed at a fall of 1 per
seat., sales preponderating.
The discount market to-day was quieter. In the
Stook Exchange money was easier, at 41 to 6 per
cent. upon Consols. On Tuesday next, the let el
January, falls payable an instalment of 10 per out.,
or 600,0001., upon the Turkish Loan of 6,000,00 W,
leaving only 121 per cent. still to be met.
Consols opened at 881 to 1 ez div. for the 10th
January, and closed at 881 tot. Business through-
out the Stock Exchangewasqt, owing partly to the
i vale nt political suspense, and partly to the boll-
ga;season. The official business report Is as fol-
lows :—Three :per Cent. Consols, for 'want, 10th
Jan., 881, 1,1, ex div. Three per Cent. Reduced,
881, I, 1. New Three per Cants., 891, 1. Long An-
nuities, expiring in Jan., 1860, 34 ; Thirty Yearn
Annuities, April, 1885 (New Loan), 161, 16 6-16 per
11. Three-and-a-lialf per Cent. Exchequer Bolas,
falling payable in 1868 and 1869,971. India Bonds,
3s. die.
Exchequer Bills were quoted Is. to 3s. die. Ex-
chequer Bonds were rather flatter, at 971 to 1.
The foreign stock market was dull. Turkish sees-
rides were lower, the Six par Cents. closing at 83 to
1, and the new Four per Cent. Loan at 31 to 31 dig.
Both these stocks were prejudiced by the prepare.
tions for the settlement. The rates of interest ruled
in each cue at 1 to 1 per cent. until the middle of
January. The Four per Cent. Guaranteed stock is
supported by the anticipation of the half-year's divi-
dend, which will fall due on the lit Feb. Other foreign
securities were very quiet.
The arrangements for the settling in the railway
share market to-day indicate very limited trues.-
dons, but moderate investments by the public. The
'rates of interest to the new account were generally
light. Great Western stock was lees scarce than of
late. Caledonian shares were more wanted, and
Lancashire and Yorkshire more plentiful. Annexed
