Tills DAY.

Two o'Ciocx.
The English funds have been rather weaker to-
day, the uncertainty as to the budget being unfa-
vourable to prices, but a rally has taken place within
the last hour, and the difference in prices compared
with yesterday's rates, is slight. Consols have been
sold as low as 99 for cash, but are now quoted
99: to for money, and 99l for the II th May. Bu-
siness generally is not active. The Three per Cent.
Reduced mark 98.4 ; the 'Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents., 100,1 to I; South Sea Stock, 110! ; Bank
Stock, 2191 to 2'201. Exchequer Bills (March), Gtia.
to 70s. prem.
Very few bargains have been concluded in foreign
stocks, the final settlement of the account forming the
chief business. Prices are in most cases quoted the
manse as yesterday; two or three descriptions arc fiat.

TiOIIIIDAY EVENING.
A steady and active business has been done to-day
in dividend and other British mines. and the market
closed firmly with an upward tendency. Killnickens
have been active throughout the day. Shares in
in East Wheal Rose have been rather more active
lately, and some transactions have been done at a
steady quotation of 2901. to 300/. • with this excep-
tion the heavy stock, have not been at all freely
dealt in; but in the smaller shares, both dividend
and speculative, a very good business has been done.
Some very considerable bargains were negotiated
after exchange hours in the Clive stock, which opened
this morning at a further advance upon yesterday's
price. Throughout the day the shares have been
constantly dealt in, and large numbers have been
taken out of the market for investment. The benefide
character of the purchases has rendered the scarcity
of shares very conspicuous. Speedwells, Neptunes,
Mill Pools, lrehanes, Merllyns, and Cook's Kitchens
have also advanced. In the Cornish market the
most favourite sto:ke appear to be West Wheal Dar-
lington, West Ding Doug, and Trebarvah, all of
which have changed handset better prices than in the
London market, and the demand for West Darling-
ton has increased considerably. Alfred Consols
have been done in the Hull market, but without
much alteration in price. Lewis shares have also
been sought after, and the market entirely cleared
of the lots offering. Wheal Lemon and Trefusis
have been done here at better prices. Cupid shares
have risen considerably, and to-day were in demand
at 13 to 14. Vale of Fowey shares have also ad-
vanced, no sellers offering at the improved price of 171.
Cuberts are likewise in request, and good offers made
for the shares in large numbers without finding buyers.
The following are to-day's prices :—Kilbncken, 41,
5; East Wheal Rose, 290, 300; Clive 41, 5; Speed-
