TIMIISDAT EvENINO•

The weekly Board at the Bank of England to-day
having resulted in no further rise in the rate of dis-
count, the various Stock Exchange markets summed
a firmer appearance. The recovery in the English
funds, however, did not exceed I per cent. Between
3 and 4 o'clock the general tone was rather lees firm,
owing to a prevalent report that the Bank of France
had raised its rate of discount from 4 to 5 per cent.,
thus making money dearer in Paris than in London.
The belief in such • step would seem calculated to
check the previously =proving tendency of the
foreign exchanges. Here the chief result was a
further fall this afternoon in French railway shares.
The Bank of England continues its sales of stock,
the supply being met to some extent by a demand
on aooount of the public.
In the discount market the demand for accommo-
dation continua active, but the feeling to-day was
rather euier.

The Three per Cent. Rentes were reported by tele-
graph from Paris to-day as closing at 68.40 for money,
and 68.45 for account, being only about k per cent.
lower than yesterday. The other continental stock
markets generally evince a less confident feeling. At
Berlin, Russian stock continues to show a downward
tendency.
Consols opened at 901 to I for the 12th October,
needed to 901 to 1, and closed at the opening range.

official business report is as follows :—Three per
Cent. Console, for money, 901, 901, 90, 901, 901 ;

Exchequer Bills were dull, at par to 4s. prem.

The Foreign Stock Market was rather firmer, ex-
cept for Russian Stocks, which fell 1 per cent.
Turkish Six per Cents. have recovered to 911 to 1 ;
and the New Four per Cent. guaranteed scrip to
par to 1 prem., the closing prices. French Scrip
wes last quoted 2 to 21 prem. The bargains com-
prised Granadian, Venezuelan, and Austrian Bonds.
The demand for gold for exportation continued un-
satiafied this afternoon.
