Owing to the attractions of Epsom, the attendance
of members in the Stock Exchange, and in City
circles generally, was to-day restricted. The English
stook market, however, maintained a favourable
appearance during all the earlier part of the day, and
a farther rim of 1 per cent. was at one period esta-
blished; but in the afternoon a rather decided reac-
tion took place, in consequence of some influential
but apparently speculative sales. Prices finally
closed with some flatness at the lowest point of the
day, and Ito 1 per cent. lower than yesterday. In
view of the recent prolonged upward movement of
the market, it is natural that realisations of profits to
some extent should take place. An impression con-
tinues to prevail that the Bank of England directors
cannot long refrain from making a further reduction
in their rate of discount.
At Paris today the French funds closed slightly
flatter than yesterday, but the actual reduction in
prioss.wss trivial. At Vienna the recent improve-
ment in the money market is maintained. The Am-i
sterdese beeves crationse to advance. At Hamburg
Russian stook has risen 1 per cent.
Consols touched 911 to 1 towards the middle of
the day, and had falcon at the close of the house to

901 to 91.

16e. prem., and the advertised bills at 4s. to 7s. prem.
Exchequer Bonds were last quoted 100 to 1001.
The cranium, after riming to 21 to sit prem., had
receded at the close to 21 to 21 prem.
The transactions in the foreign stock market were
very limited. Turkish was more offered, and fell in
the enures of the day from 78 to 77, closing at 771 to
or about 1 per cent. lower than yesterday. Some
parties who had bought in anticipation of an early
announcement with respect to the arrangements for
placing the remaining two millions of this loan
appear to have turned sellers. Mexican was in in-
creased favour, and touched 221. Russian Four-and-
a-Half per Cents. were quoted 1 per cent. higher.
The earn market today was quiet, but firm. with
rather more demand for English wheat.
