The general feeling of the stock market to-day
has been flat, and the appearance of sellers of Con-
sola both for money and account has reduced the
quotation 1. The accounts from the Continent are
to-day read less satisfactorily, especially combined
with the accelerated downward movement of the
funds at Paris. On tho other hand the Board
of Trade returns for the month and seven months
ending the 3th August, just issued, are regarded with
great satisfaction, the general features being again
particularly good. The total value of the month's
exports is 6,418,203/., against. 6,029,568/. in
the same month of 1830, and 6,364,426/. in
1849, being an increase of 6 per cent. A good
deal of discussion has been excited by the publication
of the accounts from New York by the Humboldt,
and opinions are freely expressed as to the probable
result of the excitement prevalent in New York and
other parts of the union on the subject of the insur-
rection in Cuba, and the summary execution of half
a hundred of the American sympathisers.
Consols opened 961 to 1, but are now called 961
tot, both tor cash and the 11th inst. The prices
at which business is marked arc:—Three per Cent.
Consols, 96/ 1 • ditto for aceennt, 961 t; Three
per Cent. Reduced, 97, 1, 96!. New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 981, 1, 1. Long Annuities, 1860,
7 7-16; ditto 30 years, 1860, 74. Bank Stock, 2131.
India Stock, 260. _ _

•
Exchequer Bills rallied Is. yesterday afternoon,
and the late announcement that the Bank will
make advances on stock at three per cent. during
the approaching shutting of the transfer books
would appear to be now producing sonic effect in
this market. The improvement is to-day main-
tained, business being recorded in all descriptions of
Bills at 458. to 48s. premium. India Bonds, under
1,000/., mark 495. and 525. prem.
There is very little business offering in the foreign
investments, and prices arc unaltered. Transactions
have occurred as follows: Brazilian Old Five per
Cents., 92. Danish Five per Cents, 1014. Dutch
Four per Cent. Certificates, 924, 1.. Grenada One-
and-a-Half per Cents„ 141; ditto Deferred, 34.
Mexican Bonds, for account, 16th Sept., 28:i. Pe-
ruvian Five per Cents. 1849, 901. Sardinian Scrip,
2 die. Spanish Active Five per Cents., for acct., 20.
A continuous increase is again presented, as com-
pared with last year, by the railway traffic returns
for the past week, now in course of publication, in
which the metropolitan lines more especially parti-
cipate. The London and North Western return is
62,739/., against 51,2121. in the corresponding
week of last year, showing an increase of 11,5271. ;
the London and South Western, 17,5631., against
13,0511.—increase, 4,5121.; the Great Western,
24,6741., against 16,93,51—increase, 7,739/. ; the G rent
Northern, 13,3481.,against 5,863/.—iocrease, 7,485/. ;
the Lancashire and Yorkshire, 18,6171., against 16,0771.
increase, 2,510/.; the York and North Midland,
9,9711., against 9,947 l.—increase, 241.; the York,
Newcastle, and Berwick, 17,0961., against 14,5011.—
increase, 2,5951.; the North Staffordshire, 5,1121.,
against 4,987/.—increase, 1251.; the Bristol and
Exeter, 3,0601., against 4,9lll—increase, 1491. ; the
Shrewsbury and Cheater, 1,929/., against 1,6651.—
increase, 284/. The decrease on the Midland this week
is only 380/., the amount being 24,5881., against
24,9681. in 1850.

As some interest is excited at the present moment
as to the financial arrangements of Sardinia, we take
the opportunity of stating, from official documents,
that the expenditure of the finance department for
the ensuing year is estimated at 2,468,9761., of which
740,000/., for an instalment of the Austrian indem-
nity, and that the interest of the debt amounts to
1449,3201.—name1y :

The prices of funds are weak at Paris, but exercise
no influence here. The exchange remains as before,
but sovereigns are marked from 3 to 5 centimes
lower. Other bullion is unaltered. The demand for
sovereigns on the part of French, Spanish, and
Italian excursionists has slackened.

There has been no large number of transactions in
Bank shares during the week, but prices are well
supported. Bank of Australasia continue to be in-
quired for, and have attained a further improvement.
The sales reported are:—Australasia (401. paid), 38,
1,1; London and Westminster (201. paid), 281, 29
Provincial of Ireland (251. paid), 421, 42; Union of
Australia (251. paid), 351; Union of London (10/.
paid), 141, 1, 1,1, 1.
Under the head of changes and appointments in
banks, the Banker's Magazine for September notices
that the Birmingham and Midland Banking Com-
pany have entered into arrangements to connect
themselves with the Stourbridge Old Bank, which
has been for so many years carried on under the
firm of Bate and Robins, the arrangement commenc-
ing from the 4th August. The business is now con-
ducted in the nameof the Stourbridge Branch of the
Birmingham and Midland Banking Company. Mr.
Robins, we understand, continues his connexion with
the bank. The Belfast Banking Company have
opened a new branch at Drogheda, under the man-
agement of Mr. W. C. Joyce.
