rONBY MARIET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocit.
The tendency to improvement in the Stock
Exchange is stronger to-day. All the markets
exhibit a firmer and more settled appearance, not-
withstanding the stagnation of bnainees. Consols
. .

hare again risen 3 per sent. British railway shares
are decidedly better.
Shortly after the opening of the Paris Bonne this
day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three
per Cent. Renter were dealt in at 61fr. Sc. for the
account, showing an advance of nearly i per cent.
compared with the last price of yesterday. The
telegram reports that there is "scarcely anything

doing."
Consobi are officially marked 901 to 90/ for the
7th of June, and 901 to 91 for money. The present
quotation is 901 to 4 both for money and the account.
Bank Stook has been dealt in at 216 to 219 ;

the Three per Cents. Reduced, at 891 to 90 ;
the New Three per Cents., at 891 to 90 ; Indian
Four per Cent. Debentures of last year at 92 to
9bl ; the scrip of the New Liam Loan, at 911 to
92 ; and Exchequer Bills, at lbs. to 225. prem.
The foreign stock market is likewise firmer.
There have been more inquiries for Turkish,

Russian, iiiniolll, and Sardinian Bonds. Turkish
stooks have then 1 to 2 per Cent, the Old Six per
Cents. being quoted 61 to 64 (after being marked 6.5
for money),and the naw,sl to 64. Sales are reoorded
as follows:—Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 97i

Buenos Apes Deferred Bonds, 161 ; Chilian
Biz per Cents., 981 ; Dutch Two-ana-s-Half

ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 99 ; ditto for ac-
count, 99, 100.
In the discount department of the Bank of Eng-
land yesterday the busiest, was of an ordinary cha-
racter, the late proem having subsided. In Lam-
bard-street an active demand was experienced-
Only the best bills having, say, a month to ran, are
taken at 43 per cent. For two months bills the
terms are 6 per cent., and for three months 63

per cent.
We have much satiafaction in stating that the pay
ments on the Indian Loan, fixed for yesterday, have
been promptly met. It appears that the exao4
1 amount of the loan for which tenders were accepted

on the 21st ult. was 5,047,0001. Of this amount the
first instalment has been completed yesterday on a
capital of 4,914,0001., leaving a capital of only
133,0001. not paid upon. The exact amount of the
instalment due yesterday was 911,9811., of which
887,9811. has actually been paid, so that the sum in
respect of which default is made is only 24,0001.
The loan has been taken by 309 enbsonlers, of whom
only 25 have proved ;defaulters. Even assumiag
that the neglect of these persons arises in no indiums
from misapprehension, the general result is most
creditable, the more especially as allowance must be i
made for such subscribers as have been rendered
absolutely unable to fulfil their engagements by
the late panic. The practical proof thus
afforded that the great bulk of the loan is
in strong hands must tend to improve its position in
the market. We understand that, in addition to the
instalment of 887,9811. paid yesterday, a sum of
about 200,0001. has been received in anticipation of
the balance of 75 per cent., which is divided into
three instalments of 25 per cent. each, due respec-
tively on the 14th Jaue,l9th July, and 16th August.
At Amsterdam yesterday (Friday) the Austrian
Metallies opened at a fresh fall of 21 per cent., but
subseqeently experienced a partial recovery, and
closed t per cent. worse than yesterday.
At Vienna on Thursday a recovery of about 1 per.
cent. took place in tho Anstrian funds.
The gold taken from the Bank yesterday for ex-
portation was 20,000/. The 61,4001. by the Austral,
from Geelong, was also purchased for the Continent.
The balk of the 67,3021. in gold by the Brazilian
mail steamer Avon consists of sovereigns, which go
Into the Bank.
The bar silver by the last West India steamer was
sold yesterday for the Continent at 621 d. per ounce
standard, showing, however, a rise of Id. compired
with the price obtained for the previous remittance.
The more general quotation yesterday afternoon was.
The Mexican dollars have also been die
posed of at 601 d per ounce, being the same pale
as that obtained for the supply by the last Mexican
steamer.
The wheat market yesterday was heavy, and to
effect sales a reduction of 3s. to 4s. per quarter from
last Monday's rates would have been necessary.
The rates allowed for loans by the two discount
companies are the same as those fixed by Messer.
Overend, Gurney, and Co.
As holders of Victor Emmanuel Railway Bonds
watch the movements of the Austrian army with
great apprehension, a hasty glance at the position of
the railway may be useful. The French railways
are connected with the Victor Emmanuel line by the
railway bridge at Calor on the Rhone, from which
place to Modems; at the foot of the Conk (851
English miles on the French side of the Alpe), the
railway is now open and working. From Susa to
Turin, en the Italian side (341 miles), the line is
already in the hands of the French ; so that at least
120 miles out of 1881 are safe from damage. The
portion that may be destroyed by the Austrians is
the 681 miles from Turin to Novara and to the bridge
lat Buffaloes. The amount required for the interest
on the bonds is only 48.0001. a year, and with the
increase of traffio caused by the war itself, the com-
pany ought to be well able to provide for it without
having recourse to the Sardinian state guarantee.
The traffic on the Trieste line of the Lombardo-
Venetian Railway Company for the week ending the
29th ult., was 37,6741., against 20,6861. for the cor-
responding week of last year ; and on the Lombardo-
Venetian line 14,2821., against 8,252/. last year.
The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 5191.
At the annual meeting of the Amain Company,
held yesterday, s dividend of 10 per cent. was re-
commended and agreed to.
At Paris, on Thursday, the dividend of 291 francs
was deducted! from the quotation of Perim, Lyons,
and Mediterranean Railway share,.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, May 4, compered with the pre-
vious weekly return, shows the following results :
Circulation isms

These changes will attract attention, as explain-
ing the fresh rise of 1 per cent..just announced in the
rate of discount. The commercial pressure for money
wee severe, as shown in the enormous increase in
the " other" securities ; but, u a very large addition
was made to the deposits, the decrease in the ream.,
is 751,9221. Notwithstanding the further decline in
the coin and bullies, the Bank still holds more than
seventeen millions.

The Gazette statement of the movement of the
precious metals for the week =ding Wednesday
last gives the following totals, vie.:—lmports of
gold, 161,1621.; exports of gold, 612,10614 imports of
silver, 213,6631. ; exports of silver, 415,7071. The
movement is shown to be decidedly adverse.
The fall in the Continental exchanges has been
checked. Yesterday afternoon the rates for bills on
Holland, Belgium, and Hamburg wire slightly
more favourable for this country. The quotations
for paper on Austria and Genoa were merely nominal.
The rates are shown below :
Amsterdam, three menthe, 11.14} to 16i ; ditto short,
11.12 to 18; Rotterdam, three months, 11.14 f
