Two o'OLoos.

The stock markets to-day are quiet, but prices
are firm, and the tendency, on the whole, is rather
favourable. The funds and home railway stocks
are unaltered. Foreign bonds are strong. One of
the chief movements to-day is an increased demand
for the shares of the financial companies, which are
improving.

The discount market is quiet to-day, and the
supply of money larger. The rate for the bast three
months' bills, however, is maintained at 6 per cent.,
although the tendency appears to be rather down-
wards. In the Stock Exchange there is a demand
I for abort loans, chiefly to meet the amount
(1,300,0001.) payable to-day on London and North
Western Railway new stock, and the charge has
risen to 51 to 6 per cent.

It Paris to-day, aooording to XL Renter's tele-
gram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted
67fr. 20c., showing a fresh rise of 50.

Egyptian Loan aorip is now quoted / to n prem.;

International Financial shares are now quoted

Imperial Mercantile, 3} to j prem. ; Hudson's
Bay, 16 to 1 ; Anglo-Egyptian Bank, 1 dis. to It
prem. ; and Ottoman Socititd Gdndrale, 2lto prem.
To understand why Consols are now quoted
nearly 1.1 per rent lower than they were at
this time last year, it seems only necessary to refer
to the large creation of new securities which has
taken place in the interval, and more especially to
the long list of new joint stock companies formed
during 1864. It is well known that whenever the
public are induced to invest largely in new under-
takings, the means an provided to a considerable
extent by the realisation of old securities, which
accordingly settle down at a rednoed level of prices.
The following announcements, relating to the

to arrange the names of all persons oonnected with
the management of joint-stock undertakings in a
way suited for ready reference. The large increase
which has taken place during the last two or three
years in the number of joint-stock companies ren-
ders a volume of this wart extremely useful.

The mining market is inactive today, and
generally are unaltered. East Caradon shares are
quoted 15 to ; and Great Vor, 33 to 34. No
tasasactions are officially reported in the Stock
Exchange.
Foreign and colonial mining shares are quiet, and
quotations without variation.
The directors of the Frontino and Bolivia South
American Gold Mining Company have received by
the West India packet which arrived on Saturday,
their first remittance of gold from the Frontino
Mine, amounting to 88 ounces. Captain Gem
the company's superintendent, describes this as the
result of the working for three weeks of only 12
heeds of stamps, and adds that when the full num-
ber of stamps (48 heads, now on the establishment)
are at work the returns will be considerably aug-
mented. At the Bolivia Mine he anticipates that
the return of gold will be large so soon as the steam
stamps, which the mechanics were actively engaged
in erecting, are ready for use. At this mine there
is a small water stamps of three heads, and during
a period of five weeks, in April and May last, one
Englishman and ten natives took out nibs. weight
of fine gold. The next marl will doubtless bring
advice' direct from Bolivia for this company.
