London, England, 1851-10-30 00:00:00

The English stock market to-day has worn a flat
appearance, and at one time prices were 3- lower,
with the appearance of going worse still; but a
rally has since occurred, and the present range is
nearly as good as that which ruled at the close of
yesterday's market. It may be noticed, however,
that, under the combined influence of the uneasy tone
of the advices from Paris, the further de-
cline in the French funds which conies re-
ported by this moniing's mail, and a greater
abundance of stock, the general feeling at this
moment is by no means so firm as it was. Oansols
have been sold as low as 97 for cash, and a fea-
ture of the day's market is the establishment
of a slight difference betw:..en the rate for
money and time bargains. At this period of
the account the appearance of aslight " continuation"
may be taken as affording evidence that the feeling
of speculators so far is " bullish." The purchases on
government account have to-day materially aided
in supporting the market.

and 97 to 1 for the 12th of November. The
