THIS DAY.—Two (Yew( K.

The ex'raordinary scarcity of stock continues, and,
with the approach of the settling day, the oversold
position of the market is more plainly evident. Under
the combined influence of bon/if/dc and " bear.' buy-
ing, prices have again risen to-day, and now stand
at a further advance of 1 per cent. compared
with the closing official range of yesterday.
The jobbers seem almost destitute of stock.
Consols opened with an unsettled appearance at 941
to 95 for account, fell back to 91 to 1, and have since
risen to 914 to 93 for account, and 954, to for
money. In the present singular state at things the
market is considerably excited, and tenders of money
stock command a bonus or " backwardat ion "of to
4 per cent. The Three per Cents. Reduced have
been dealt in at 931 to 94 ; the Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents., 93; to 94; India Stock, 2.)0 to 253;
