MONDAY ETZNING.
The English stock market remains inactive, but
remarkably well supported. Some rather influential '
money buying carried the price of Consols to 1004, '
and the closing price was par for money, and 100 to
1-18 for the 13th. The official business report in-
dudes :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 991,
100, 991,1001, 100; ditto, for account, 100. Five
per Cent. Annuities, 125. India Stock, 2621, 262.
The June Exchequer Bills were done at is. to lls.
prem.; ditto, March, 7s. to 10s. prem.; and India
Bonds at 435. prem.
In the foreign stock market the chief dealings
were again in Mexican, which opened 261 to 27,
' rose to 27; buyers, and finally closed 271 to 4, the
rise being well maintained. Them has been a good
deal of buying in this stock during the last two or
three days. Turkish scrip has also risen, closing
2/ to 3,1 prem., consequent upon its being understood
that the Turish Minister in London has at his
disposal sufficient funds to pay back the first instal-
ment, together with commission and interest, at a
rate which would place the scrip at a premium of 31.
The Spanish Committee's certificates have risen to
9 to 91 per cent. on the advice. from Madrid, but the
Deferred Threes do not move, as, on tke proposed
terms of conversion, viz., 101 per coot., the certifi-
cates are the cheaper to buy, and will, if the loan is
confirmed by the Corte., of which little doubt can be
entertained, represent an additional creation of stock.
The statement to the effect that the bill for the new loan
had been laid before the Cortes on the 29th ult., is
confirmed by the ordinary channels to-day, with the
addition that it bad been referred to the standing
committee. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cent.
Scrip was better this afternoon, leaving off 31 to 41
premium. Granadian stocks are in more favour,
both Active and Deferred, and Greek tends
and most other stocks are well supported.

The accounts received from Vienna to-day men-
tion a report of a change in the Austrian ministry.
It was stated that Count Buol was to be replaced by
M. Bach, but as yet nothing official was known.
There were renewed inquiries to-dav for the shares
of the South Eastern Railway of France, which
closed to 1 prem. It appears the concession of this
line has been signed.
Shipments of silver to the amount of about 70,0001.
sterling will be made by the Kenilworth, which will
clear from London, for Calcutta, in the latter part of
the present or early in the next week. It is rarely
that so large a sum as this is despatched to ;India by
a sailing vesseL Economy of transport appears to
be the object sought to he attained.
The Australian Land Companies to-day were gene-
rally flat, and cheaper. Australian Agricultural
finally closed 99 to 102; Van Diemen's Land, 221 to
234. The shares of the new Australian Banks were
all lower (with the single exception of the Scottish
Australian), consequent upon the announcement of
the decision of government relative to the granting
of charters. The chief fall was in the shares of the
Bank of Australia and China. Shares in the older
banks were dull, and the Union Bank receded 108.
It is noticed that the check applied to the grant-
ing of charters ought to be in favour of those insti-
tutions
which have already secured the privilege in
' question. The shares of the Bank of British North
America were done at 00; Commercial Bank of London,
32 ; Union Bank of London, 171 ; Australian Royal '
Mail Steam (61. paid), 41; Crysta Palace (51. paid),
61 ; North of Europe Steam (51. paid), 5 ; Peninsular
and Oriental Steam, 844, 85. The shares of the
Berlin Waterworks Company were allotted to-day,
and commanded Ito 11 prem. The shares of the
Melbourne Dock and Railway Company were quoted
1 to 1 prem.
We are requested to state that a copy of the cir-
cular stating the new decision of the Colonial-efficei
on the subject of charters, was not sent to the soh-
• citors or directors of the Bank of Asia, the application
preferred by which consequently remains under the
consideration of government. The India authorities
at home are the parties who will probably be con-
sulted on the subject, there being apparently no
necessity for referring the application in question to
the local government of India.
