Tiro oioLoon.

The Mock markets to-day are quiet. There has
!been rather more demand, however, for English
I,government stocka, in anticipation of the payment
'id the dividends on Saturday, and Con-
isols have experienced • fresh improvement of
per cent. As regards home railways, foreign
bonds, and other securities, very little movement
has occurred, business being inanimate.
In the discount market to-day the rate for cboice
bills is maintained at 3 per cent.,although there is no
activity, and A large amount of money is seeking
employment. The tendency of quotations, never-
theless, is rather downwards, in anticipa-
tion of the release of the dividends on
Saturday. A considerable amount of money
being rapsyable to the Bank, short loans are
in request in the Stock Exchange, at 2 to 24
per cent. The charge for advances on Consols to
the next settlement is 21 to 3 per cent.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele-
gram, the Three per Cent. Renton opened at
67fr. 05c., being about the same as yesterday.
Consols are now quoted 901 to 4, ex div., both for
money and to-morrow's settlement, and 904
to 4, ex div., for the new account (August
8). The official bushman report is as follows:-
