Great dulness prevailed to-day in the Stock Ex-
change, business in many departments being almost
at a stand-still. The funds, however, closed the same
as yesterday, being supported by the scarcity of
stock shown at the settlement fixed for this day.
In several instances the dealers, in order to complete
their engagements, were glad to borrow stock until
the May settlement, the advantage of this arrange-
ment to the lender of the stock being that be has
the nee of the money for a month, whilst his divi-
dend is at the same tins* accruing. At the close the
dealers were "takers-in" of Consols at the trifling
centango" of 1-18 per cent.
Console, which closed yesterday. at 9.53 for the
6th of Mey, were to-day alternately " burp" and
"sellers" at that figure, and closed at 881. For
money the last price was 951 to 3. The government
broker made his usual purchase of 6,0001. stock.
The official business report is as follows:—Three
per Cent. Console, for money, 95/, I, 3,1; ditto,
for account (6th May), 961, 951 ; Three per Cent.
Reduced, 941, 1,1, ex die.; New Three per Cents.,
943 1,1, ex div. ; Indian Stock, 220; Three-sod-
a-Hall per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, payable on the
Bth prox., 1001.

per Cent. Debentures, 971 to 3.

occurred in prices. The Old Turkish Six per Cents.
left off at 921 to 3, and the last Loan at 781 to 791.
