The private securities in the Bank always expo-

' movement is naturally accompanied by a falling off
in the reserve. There is also a decrease of mode-
rate amount in the coin and bullion.

Two O'CLOCK.
The re-opening of the stock market., alter two
days of suspension of business, has been unattended
with any revival of activity. The funds exhibit no
variation from Wednesday's prices. Attention has
been chiefly occupied with preparations for Tuesday's
settlement in shares and foreign stocks. Railway
stocks are dull, and foreign securities firm.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented were quoted
69fr. 90c., showing no change.

Cent. " eufaced" rupee paper, 1124 ; and Ex-
chequer Bills, 95., 13a. prem.
The transactions in foreign stocks have been
upon a moderate scale. Prices are generally firm.
Portuguese securities are rising. The Maremmana
Railway Loan continues in request, while
Egyptian Bonds are rather more offered.
The Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 844
to 854 ; that of 1858, 704 to 714 ; the
scrip of 1862, 34 to 34 prem. ; the Conaolides, 414
to 4, being decidedly higher ; the Peruvian Loan,
914 to 924 ; and Venezuelan scrip, 2to 14 die.

Both at the Bank of England and in the general
market the demand for money is brisk, as usual
at this season. -No return of ease can be looked for
until after the 4th prox., when the anticipation of
the payment of the dividends will probably begin
to have considerable effect, _
