Speculation continues rife in the Funds, and strenu-
ous efforts were made to counteract the Effect of the gene-
ral disposition to make sales. They were successful only,
however, to the extent of stopping, or delaying. the further
fall of prices which appeared to be, if it be not yet, imminent.
After various fluctuations, and eonsid•rable activity in the
transactions, Consols left otf a shade worse than yesterday ;
for money, 941 to 1 ; for time, 941 to N. Exchequer Bills,
Bs. to 10s. premium only. Reduced Threes, 92Z to 3. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 911 to 5. Bank Stork, 204 to 5.
India Stock, 206 to 8. Long Annuities, 91 to 15-16. The
government broker took 5,000/. 31 per Cents. at 9.3 for the
Savings Banks ; and 1.2001. Old South Sea Annuities at
924 for the National Debt.
Parties connected with the Mexican conversion scheme,
with a large amount of the newly-created bonds on hand,
are believed, under the influence of the alarm caused by the
fall and the doubtful position of the funds, to have been
throwing their stock on the market, in order to realise the
amount at whatever sacrifice of price. However that
may be, true it is, that at a moment when not the
least speculation was abroad in foreign securities generally,
and least of all in Mexican, parcels were brought to market,
and sales pressed without regard to price. They were done
in consequence at 211, and left off 21 /to 2 only. Spcnish
Fives, were 251 to 1; the Threes, 381 to 7. Portuguese, 3S to
40. Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents., 581 to 9; the Fours,
911 to 2. Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 54 to 5; the
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 97 to 8. This was settling-day in
the foreign house, but, although there have been some rather
large fluctuations during the account, the transactions have
been on so limited a scale, that the adjustment was not likely
to present any difficulty.
Foreign Exchange is still its decline in the chief con-
tinental places. The negotiations were, on Amsterdam,
12.4: to 5; on Rotterdam, 12.51 to 12 ; on Antwerp, 25.95
to 971 ; on Hamburg, 13.111 to 12 ; on Frankfort, 1211 ; on
Paris, 23.871 to 90, all at three months.
