Two o'Cloot.
In the stook markets to-day attention is almost
exelusively directed to preparations for the fort-
nightly settlement, and little change has occurred
in prices. Foreign stocks are unaltered. As re-
gards home railways, the movement is confined to a
ries in the Metropolitan and Great Eastern. The
English funds show a rise of 1 per cent.
The demand for money to-day is only moderate,
but the rate for the best paper is maintained at 3
per cent. Short loans on English government
securities are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at
2 to 21 per cent.

gram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
