The transactions in the stock markets to-day have
been upon a limited scale, business having been a
good deal interfered with through the unexplained
detention of the Liverpool and other northern
mails, which have only been delivered within the
last hour, instead of the first thing in the morning, li
in the ordinary course. The news of the fresh Bec-
omes of the Federal armies, pointing to a speedy ter-
mination of the war in America, has also caused
sales. The funds have declined 1 per cent. Foreign
stocks are sensibly weaker. Home railways have
likewise shown a drooping tendency, except Metro-
politan, which continues in demand. There is a
fresh fall of 3 per cent. in the Confederate Loan.
There is little business in the discount market
to-clay, but no transactions are reported below 31
per cent. The rate for loans in the Stock Exchange
from day to day on English government securities,
is still 21 to S per cent.
Consols are now quoted 901 " buyers," for money,
and 91, " buyers," for the account (May 9). The
official business report is as follows :-Three per
Cent. Consols, for money, 91, 1, 901 ; ditto,
for amount, 911, 1, 91 ; Three per Cents.

" sawed " rupee paper, 1011; and Exchequer
Bills, 7s. prem.
Most of the speculative foreign stocks, including
Turkish, Spanish, Greek, and Mexican, have de-
clined Ito f per cent. Confederate has fallen 3 per
cent. Some of the present quotations are annexed,
viz. :-Greek Bonds, 201 to 21 ; Mexican,
261 to 1 ; Confederate, 17 to 19 ; Spanish
Passive, 311 to ; the Certificates, 161 to d ;

prem. ; London Financial, 7to prem.; Imperial
Mercantile, 14 to prem. ; Credit Fowler and
Mobilier of England, old, 4i to 54 prem. ; ditto,
New, 44 to prem.; Hudson's Bay, 154 to ;
Egyptian Trading, to 7 die. ; and Ottoman Bodoni

At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renters opened at
67fr. 52c., being 1-16 per cent. better than yester-
day.
It is understood that the contract with Mr. Laing,
Chairman of the General Credit Company, for the
consolidation of the Turkish home debt, and far
the raising of a new Turkish loan, is practically
settled, and that the affair will be brought forward
next week. We believe that the whole amount of
the fresh money that will be required by this trans-
action, between England and the Continent, will be
something under 2,000,0001. sterling.
1 It appears from the Paris advice° that there is
no intention of opening lists in London for the
New Mexican Loan of 10,000,0001. This being a
lottery loan, its introduction here would be clearly

ill
tSold transactions took place at the Bank yes-
terday. There was some inquiry for abroad. About
65,000 sovereigns, however, have arrived from
Egypt, and will doubtless be sent into the Bank.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
generally quoted the same as last week, the only
change of importance being a further movement in
favour of Austria, which, however, is satisfactory,
as indicating an absence of political distrust. Sub-
joined is our utast list :

The Bombay exchange comes quoted Ts. 04d.,
and the Calcutta 2e. Old., showing apparently a
rise in each case. This movement renders some
alight revival of the demand for silver for the East
11 probable.
The amount of specie engaged for transmission by
the steamer Pera, to-morrow, is only 16,0271., of
which 3731. is gold for Madras, 15,1541. silver for
Hong Kong, and 5001, silver for Shanghae.

don Junction Railway Act, 1862."

Consols, which closed on Saturday at 91 to t for
the 9th of May, opened this morning as the NNW
quotation, and closed at 9lt tot. For money the
last price was 91 to 4. The official business report
is as follows : Three vier Cent. Consols, for
money, 904, 914, 91, I ; ditto, for account, 94;
Three per Conte. Reduced. 894, #, I ; New Th
per Cents., 891, 4, 4 ; New Two-and-a-Ralf per

/ • ditto Bonds, 14s. to 18a prem. ; Five per Cent.
"enlaced " rupee paper, 102*.
The India rive per Cent. Stock, as well as the
rupee paper, was enquired for. India Bonds were
dealt in at 14s. to 18s. prem. Exchequer Bills
were steady at 4a. to 7a. prem.
A freak fall of 2 per cent. has taken place to-
day in Confederate Bonds. As regards a few
other foreign stocks the tendency of prices was
slightly downwards. Egyptian Bonds of 1864 de-
clined 4 per cent., Italian Stock 4, and Mexican
and Turkish Coniolides t. Russian Three per
Cents., however, improved 4, and Spanish Passive
and Certificates 4. Greek coupons declined 4 per
cent. ; but the bonds were well supported.
In the market for bank shares a slight reduction
was quoted in Anglo-Italian, Brazilian and Por-
tuguese, Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and
China, European, Bank of Hindustan new shares,
Merchant, Midland. Scinde, Punjanb, and Delhi,
and South Eastern Bank ; but Asiatic Bank Corpo-
I ration new shame, Continental, London, Buenos
Ayres, and River Plate, and National Bank, have
improved.
Hudson's Bay shares were last quoted to-day
454. to # ; Egyptian Trading, 4 to * dia., being
again lower ; National Discount, 104 to # prem. ;

Ottoman Socift4 Generale, 2# to 4 prem. • and
Milan Improvements, 6to 64 prem. There were
inquiries for Ebbw Vale, City of London Real Pro-
perty, Peninsular sad Oriental Steam, and Qs.-
brads Land and Mining Shares. Royal Mail Steam
show a fresh advance of 11. London and Glasgow
Engineering, and Smith, Knight, and Co. were
again quoted lower.
The shares of the financial companies were steady.
The only change was an advance in those of the
Credit Fonder and Mobilier Company, caused by
the publication of the directors' report. The sound-
I sees of the principle of forming large reserve funds
is universally recognised, and in the present
instance a sum equal to another year's dividend at
20 per cent. is carried forward, irrespective of the
200,0001. of permanent reserve fund. The closing
quotations are annexed, viz. : International
Financial, 14 to 14 prem. • General Credit, 24 to
Eaprecil. ; London Fimaresial, 74 to 4 pre= ;
