Two o'Cr.oot.
The stock markets are firm to-day, a favourable
Bank return being hoped for, and the purchase by
the government broker being of larger amount than
usual. The funds are firm, at yesterday's
improvement. Other stooks are well supported,
but in only a few cases has any improvement
taken place in prices. There is an unfavourable
reaction in the shares of the MiDwell Land
Docks Company, which are now quoted 2/ to 2
die.
The discount market is very quiet to-day, owing
partly to the interruption of business caused by
the Lord Mayor's Show, but the rate for the best
paper is unaltered, at 61 to 7 per cent. Should
the Bank return, to be published to-morrow, be
favourable, it is probable that transactions will
take place at a fraction less during the next few
days. The charges for short loans in the Stock
Exchange on English government securities is 5 to
6 per cent.
The government broker has bought to-day 20,000/.
Three per Cents. Reduced for the Sinking Fend,
and 30,0001. New Three per Cent., for the Poet-
office Savings Banks. The price paid for the total
(50,0001.) was 871.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
681 r. 42c., showing a fresh advance of 1-16 per cent.
Console are now quoted 89 to l with div., for
money, and 871 to 88, ex div., for the new account
(Dec. 7). The official business report is as follows:—

In the foreign stock market the principal feature
yesterday was a rise of 2 per cent. in the Turkish
Loan of 1858, in consequence of the announcement
that, owing to the persevering exertions of the bond-
holders' committee, the requisite order has at last
been given to the Imperial Ottoman Bank at Con-
stantinople to keep a separate account of the Cus-
toms revenues pledged to this loan. The result is
that the bondholders of 1858 are placed in posses-
don of that preferential lien upon the Constantinople
Customs revenue, to which, by the terms of the
contract, they are rightfully entitled. To attain
this object the committee have had a very. length-
ened correspondence both with our Foreign-office
and with the Turkish government It is understood
that a meeting of the bondholders of the loan of
1858 will be called early in next month, and that
the committee, having accomplished the task set
before it, will thereupon be dissolved.
A further sum of 90,000 sovereigns was with-
drawn from the Bank yesterday for Brazil, while
6,0001. was sent in. The operations of the week
have been nearly balanced, comprising the purchase
by the Bank of 327,0001., aad the withdrawal of
300,0001., but these figures do not embrace the
movements of the internal circulation.
The 130,5001. in Australian gold by the William
Duthie reached London yesterday, and will pro-
bably be sent into the Bank, there being at the
moment little demand for exportation.
The steamer City of Baltimore, from New York,
has brought 93,000/. in specie.
The steamer for Bombay, which Will leave South-
ampton on the 12th instant, is expected to take a
large amount of specie.
