Two o'CLoox.
The stock markets to-day are dull, and in most
cases prices have slightly suffered from the inactivity
of business. The improvement of 1 per cent. which
took place yesterday in the funds has been
lost. Several of the principal home railways are 1
to 1 per cent. lower ; and as regards the more
speculative kinds of foreign stocks, realisations
have, on the whole, predominated, though the
actual reduction in prices is not important.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted
68fr. 45c., being 1 per cent. lower than yesterday.
Consols are now quoted 92 to 1, ex div., for
money, and 921 to 1, ex div., for the account (July
9). The official business report is as follow"
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 921, 92,

March, 2e. die. ; ditto June, 2s. dis.
There is a fresh decline of 1 per cent. in Greek
Bonds, which are now quoted 38 to 1, after being
marked 37/. New Granada "ex all" Bonds,
Egyptian Stocks, and Spanish Certificates
are all firm. Mexican Bonds were slightly
better in the morning, and were marked
38, but have since relapsed to yesterday's quota-
tions. Venezuela Six per Cents. of 1862 are 1 per
cent. worse, at 571 to 581, and Turkish Consolideis
lower, at 501 to 51. The Turkish Loan of 1854
remains steady, at 92 to 93 ; that of 1858, at 701
to 71 ; and that of 1862, at 711 to 72.

ith reference to the coming Turkish budget,
which is looked for with great interest, the Levant
Herald of the 10th instant has the following :-
" We are now officially assured that the financial
balance-sheet awaits only a few unimportant re-
turns from the Arsenal to be in a fit state for pub-
lication ; and as these have probably been sent in
whilst we write, the documents should be ready for
issue by or before the end of the present week."
It would appear that, although due discrimina-
tion will be used, a certain preference will be given
to shareholders in the International Financial Society
in the allotment of shares in projects brought out
ender the auspices of that company. Too liberal all
allotment, systematically persevered in, would of
course be detrimental to the interests of
undertakings protected by the society. This
danger will, no doubt, be avoided by the directors,
who will probably proceed somewhat upon the plan
successfully adoped by the Credit Mobilier Society
of Paris. The point has excited a good deal of
discussion amongst the shareholders in the Inter-
national Company, in view of the pending negotia-
tion of the capital of the Egyptian Commercial and
Trading Company and of the anticipated purchase
of the property of the Hudson's Bay Company.
