Under the combined influence of the satisfactory
intelligence of the capture of Eugenn. and the ex-
tremely favourable Bank returns, the English funds
made a decided upward movement to-day, and are
now fairly above par. The total advance on yester-
day's prices varied from 4to per cent., and is the
more worthy of remark from its ooao • on the lest
day of the week, when the attendance of members is
usually restricted and business dull. Consols were
dealt in to some extent at 1001, at which figure they
left off quoted exactly for cub ; whilst for the 9th
of June the last price was 1004 to I. For the open-
ing of the 16th July the quotation ruled sa high u
1004 to 4. Reduced Threes are scarcely below
par, and the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 14
above it. Bank Stock and other securities are also
looking up; and though business to-day was not ex-
tensive, the general appeanoes of the market was
decidedly improving. The official business report
includes : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 100,
Cu; ditto, for account, 100 j, 100, 4. Three per
t. Reduced, 998, 8, 4. Lug Annuities, 1880,
616.16. South tSa Old Annuities, 988. Bank
Stock, 2214.
The upward tendency of the market for the un-
I fended securities was more strongly shown to-day.
The March Exchequer Bills were dealt in at 735. to
78e- prem., but closed Is. hiFher, st 765. to 795.
prem. The June bills were in strong demand, and
rue no km than 34., leaving off quoted 70s. to 735.
prem. Irdia Bonds were steady at 84s. to 87s.
prem. The rise in Exchequer Bills since last Satur-
day amounts to 4s. on the Marsh, and ae. on the
Jane issue.

In the foreign stock market a firmer feeling was
generally observable, especially for Spanish Bonds,
which have been looking up during all the latter
part of the week. The price of the committee's Cer-
tificates today advanced to 31 per cent. Peruvian
stocks also improved upon the strength of the obser-
vations made by ministers in the house last night,
from which it is inferred that the claim of the Peru-
vian government to the Lobos Islands is, de facto, re-
cognised. Sardinian, and all the dividend-paying
European stocks, closed with an upward tendency.
Buenos Ayresn Bonds are marked u dealt in
at 721 to 731 ex div., the " dividend " referred to
being the miserable pittance of per cent., or just
one quarter of the bondholders' yearly claim on the
original debt. as forwarded for the last few years by
the dictator Roses. Bargains are recorded as follows:
Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 721, 731, ex div.
Chilian Three per Cents., 70. Danish Five per

Another failure was announced in the house to-
day, but the amount of liabilities is small. Amongst
other operations the party in question—who has
been but a short time in the house—is understood to
have gone for the fall in some descriptions of gold
mining shares, and for the rise in Venezuelan bonds.
Shares in the new Crystal Palace Company were
inquired for to-cluy, and closed better at 3-16 to 3-16
prem.

There is no change in the money market, which
remains very easy. Advantage is being taken of the
present position of the market to introduce to the
public notice many schemes of a very varied charac-
ter, and for objects in connexion with foreign enter-
prise and speculation, as well as the development of
sources of profit at home, but the demand for all
these undertakings is small, compared with the capa-
bilities of the market. For railways, which some
few years back absorbed so vast an amount of capital,
the requirements are far from large. The amount of
railway calls advertised as due in the month of June
is as follows :
