Oyu o'ol.ool.
There is rather more business in the stock mar-
kets to-day, and the tendency of prices in many
cases is firm. The fear of any serious political
troubles on the Continent has been removed by the
speech just made by the Emperor of the French,
and an increased disposition on the part of the
public to buy Stock Exchange securities is conse-
quently apparent. Colonial Government Deben-
tures are in c,..00d demand, and have risen
about 1 per cent., owing to the satisfactory
result yesterday of the tenders for the
New Zealand Debentures. Other sound securities
are also sought after, but business is checked by
the limited supply in the market. Some of the
foreign stocks are higher, especially Spanish.
Railway shares advanced in the morning, but have
since elapsed, and are now in some instances worse
than yesterday. Midland has fallen fully 1 per
cent. Consols are fist, and have receded 1.
The discount market is quieter to-day, and the
supply of money has somewhat increased. Choice
bills, however, are not taken below I;,', to 11 per
cent.

A telegram from Hong Kong, dated the let
November, says :—" Tea export, 83,000,000 lbs. to
date ; market very quiet. ...Silk dull and lower.
