THIS DAY.

Two o'Ctoca.
The transactions in the English funds this morn-
ing, as for some days past, have not been important,
and a slight feeling of flatness has been generally
observable, resulting in a decline of , to 1 per
cent. Tho government broker has again made
his appearance as a purchaser on account of the
Sinking Fund, but it is noticed that the investments
of the dividend receivers usual at this period do not
offer with the customary freedom, a cussumstance
which is probably owing to an idea that with a con-
tinuance of the present position of political matters,
a possibility is opened up of investing at lower
figures.
Consols opened at a decline of 1, being first called
961 to Z for cash and tke 12th July, and they have
since further receded to their present range of 96 to
1 for money, and 961 for the account. The figure at
which the purchase on public account was effisded
is 961. To-day's business list is as follows :—Three
per Cent. Consols, 961, ; ditto for Account, 961,
; Three per Cents. Reduced, 971, 4; New
Threeand-a-Quarter per Cents., ; Long An-
nuities, 1860, 7, 1-16; ditto 30 years, 1859, 6 13-16;
ditto, 181;0, 61; South Sea New Annuities, 95Z, 961.
There is no change in the unfunded securities, &-
chequer Bills marking 565. and 595. prem.; and
India Bonds. 695. to 71s. prem.
After the increased activity noticed yesterday, the
foreign stock market tu-day is extremely dull, no
description being operated in to any important
extent. The chief change in prices is in Spanish
Bonds, which are decidedly flatter. Other stocks
are nominally ,uoted unaltered, but no buoyancy
is observable. 10-day's bargains are restricted to tlie
following : —Austrian 5 per Cent. Bonds, 77. Dutch
Four per Cent. Certificates, 91, French Five per
Cent. Rentes, 6;fr. 59e. (exchange, 251 r. 30c.) Mexi-

On the 11th a meeting was held at Madrid of the
local holders of confiscated coupons, and a report was
given of the fruitless efforts which had been made to
obtain justice from M. Bravo Murillo. It was com-
plained that the local holders were worse off even
than the foreign holders, inasmuch as they could
obtain no certificate fur the forfeited Coupons.llt was
therefore agreed to form a new committee to
issue certificates for the local coupons presented.
Mr. Weisweiller proposed that a testimonial should
be given to the old committee, hut this they declined
to accept. The names of the members of the new
Madrid committee are Don Joaquin Aldamar, Don
Marius du Angulo, Don Juan Antonio trans°, Don
Jaime Girona, l)on Jose Diaz Agero, 1/on Juan Es-
corial y Gil, Don Antonio 11. Retamoso.
In a communication to the London committee Mr.
Weisweiller says:
This measure, to which I have contributed, comes to the
aid of the certificates which the English committee emit,
because, there being also like certificates proceeding from
the coupons of the home debt, the number of those interested
in supporting and blaming the equitable settlement of such
a sacred debt, is thus augmented, which settlement, I have
no doubt, will be effected with time, for the reclamation is
too just not to meet with a favourable result when the cir-

change which actually prevent such being the

The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent.
per annum yielded by the various securities cited at
the average of the prices now ruling. Where
the asterisk (*) is prefixed, it is to be under-
stood that the share rate of interest is less the in-
come tax. It will be seen that in every case we take
the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our
calculation. To render the calculation strictly accu-
rate, the proportion of interest which may have
accrued since last dividend period should, in each
case, be taken into account:
