movement to-day, prices closing at an advance of
to ' per cent. Consols, which wore first marked par
for"cash, reached 100: for account, and left off, u
officially quoted, at 100; both for money and the
account of the Sth September, but after the regular

. _

ered by the harvest accou7tr thequietn:l;a
the political world, and the influx of gold, and thus
the approach of account day is felt the more sensibly.

prem., but no business is recorded in them. The
June bills are steady at 68e, to 71s. prcm. Of India
Bonds there were sellers at 86s. prcm.
In the foreign house business continues restricted,
but the tendency is upwards, especially for Grena-
dian, Mexican, hitch, and Spanish stocks—all of
which realised fractionally higher rates. Dutch
Fours were within a 1 of par. Peruvian

' Shares in the new Bordeaux and Cette Railway
Company were quoted in the house to-day 1 to 11
prem.
The imports of specie and bullion continue heavy.
By the Pacific, from New York, a farther sum of
600,000 dollar,, or about 120,0001., has been received.
The Medway sailed from Port Phillip on the 27th
May with gold to the value of a quarter of a million
steeling, and may therefore be shortly expected.
A large business was done to-cfay in the new
Turkish loan, and the price, which opened 15 prem.,
roes rapidly to 3 per cent. prem., and closed firm at
41 to 5 prem. By announcement in the journals
this morning, the subscription list was declared
closed—a course which cannot be regarded
as otherwise than straightforward, as it puts a
stop to the rush of applicants, who would,
as a matter of course, only have their hopes
excited, and then be disappointed. The number of
applications is stated to bo immense, as might natu-
rally have been expected from the high premium to
which the loan has attained. In view, however, of
the small amount to be issued in this market, the
general public will get very little.
The subjoined has been handed to us by the com-
mittee of Mexican bondholders :

" The committee of Mexican bondholders have
received, via Havannah and the United States, a
copy of a letter from Mr. Falconnet, dated Mexico,
2nd ult., the original of which will arrive by the
direct steamer, now overdue. It brings accounts,
charges of the remittance 'of 2,5(10,000 dole. per last
steamer, &c., but contains nothing of interest rela-
tive to the payment of the overdue dividend, except
that it was thought that the executive might perhaps
shortly decide on publishing and putting in force a
reformed tariff, on their own responsibility, which
would be likely to increase the produoe of the cus-
toms revenue.
With reference to the statement that the Pre-
sident of the Republic hu it in contemplation
to decree a reduction of the tariff, we have only
to repeat that no step could be adopted more bene-
ficial to the interests of the bondholders, as the
customs' revenue would inevitably experience a large
augmentation. The smuggling trade would at the
same time receive a severe blow, Mexico standing
in this respect in much the same position as Por-
tugaL
The American stock market hu not experienced
any reammeimble change this week, the demand for
most desselpdoms continuing. Prime are thus
quoted by Mem D. Bell, Son, and Co., for trans-
, mission to America :
