Two o'Cwcz.

The stock markets to-day are very dull, And
the tendency of prices is unfavourable, owing to
the critical state of foreign politics. The funds

per cent. is the lowest rate for bills. The supply of
money is smaller, through the absorption on ac-
count of the revenue payments into the Bank. In

on English government securities is active, at 6 per
cent.
