The Express.
London, England, 1852-07-02 00:00:00

Consols were supported at yesterday's prices
during the greater part of the day, but were
weaker in the afternoon, and closed only 1001 to
ex div. for the 16th July, being a reduction of 4.
Various reasons were assigned for this trifling de-
cline, and, amongst others, more than one paragraph
of die Queen's Speech was pointed to as showing
the depressing cause. We believe the real in-
fluence was exercised by soma unfounded rumours
of a heavy reduction in prices on the Paris
Bourse. The official business record is us follows:
Three per Cent Consols, for the opening, 10.1", 1.
' Three per Cent. Reduced, 101, 4. 101. New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1041, 1, !,

The March Exchequer Bills remain stationary at

I India Bonds were sold at 89s. prem.
Business in the foreign stock market was charac-
terised by more confidence. Peruvian bonds
realised advanced prices, especially thu Deferred,
owing to statements that the amount to
credit of the Peruvian government from the
guano profits available for rho redemption of
the debt will to much larger than heretofore.
This confirms the views previously expressed by us.

Two f :flares were to-day declared in the Stock
Exchange, in connexion with the share settling, but
the parties involved are of humble standing, and the
liabilities moderate. Their differences are under-
Wood to be chiefly in the mining market.
The influx of gold from Australia is becoming
more rapid and regular. We are to-day advised of
the arrival of the Wandsworth with 20,308 oz., and
the Thomas Hughes with 6,220 oz., both front Syd-
ney ; and of the Wellington, with 4,443 ounces
from Melbourne. The total of these imports
is 30,973 ounces, valued at 123,892/. Yesterday
we reported arrivals to a similar amount. On the
other hand, the shipments of coin from this side
must be taken into account. The Panama has just
sailed from Gravesend for Australia, with 30,0001. in
gold.

The comparison with ISM must uuw be escheeeed
altogether, as a criterion for estimating the progress
of the season's truffle, as the disturbance caused by
the Exhibition was very great at this period of the
year. The comparison with WO shown very favour-
able results.
