Iu the Stock Ezehange to-day preparations for
to-n 14 n row's settlement in Consols have chiefly men-
pied attention. Although business is dull, the
market is rather firmer, and Consols are quoted
about t per cent. better than yesterday afternoon.
'The decline on the Paris Bourse rentrains the ten-
dency to improvement here. In the sha- markets
prices, in most instances, are nominally unaltered,
the amount of business being limited.
At Paris this morning, wording to Mr. Renter's

telegram, the Three per Cent. &Tete; were quoted
70.80, being nearly per east. worse than
yesterday. _ . _

Consols are officially marked 964 for money.
and 95} for to-morrow's settlement. The present
quotations are 95} to } for cash and to-morrow,
and 954, " buyers," for the 6th of June.
The official business report is as follows : Bonk
Stock, 8271, 226 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, Int
; New Three per Cents., 93g, ; India Stook,

; Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, 1858, 94
India Bonds, 6s. dis. ; and Exchequer Bills, 4e.,
53., 75., prem.
Indian government securfties are quiet, but
steady. The Five per Cent. Stock of 1869 is
quoted 106} to }.
The foreign stook market is rather quiet. The
Turkish Loan of 1888 has rooovered } per cent.,
being quoted 614 to 621. The Loan of 1854 is steady,
at 764 to 77. Mexican Bonds and
Spanish Deferred Three per Cent., are heavy,
and Russian Three per Cents firmer.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Old
Five per Cents., 100} ; Buenos Ayres Six
per Cents, for account, 86 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Ball
per Cents., 66} (exchange 128.) ; ditto Four per
Cent. Certificates, 101; Mexican Three per Cents.,

for account, 21.1 ; Russian Five per Cents.,
108 ; ditto Three per Cents., 1859, 651, ex
div. ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account,

Cents., 1011.
The New Victoria Six per Cent. Debentures are
rather firmer, at 1071 to a. The shares of the
Union Bank of London are more inquired for, and
have been dealt in at 251 and 251.
The shares of the London and South African
Bank are quoted} to 1 prem.
The demand for money yesterday was only mode-
rate at 41to 42 per cent. for the best bills. At the
Bank business was rather quiet. In some instances
applicants may hold back for a day or two, in order
not to forego the chance of a reduction in the rate
on Thursday.
The screw steamer Great Britain has ar-
rived off Liverpool from Melbourne, with
190,0001. in gold. She has made the passage home
in the very short space of 61 days. Her outward
voyage occupied only 66 days. The Edinburgh,
from New York, has brought 20,0001. in specie.
The whole of the Australian gold recently received
per sailing vessels has now been delivered, and a
further considerable amount is expected to be
taken to the Bank during the week.
The New York advises report the market foe
foreign exchanges as higher and firm, with a
limited supply of bills. It is probable, therefore,
that remittances of specie to this aide to a moderate
amount may soon take place.
There is little demand for silver for transmission

to the East, but limited amounts continue to be
taken for the Continent at the present quotation of
5.. 11:1.mi:ounce standard.
Acco to advice' from Australia the estate
of Messrs. .J. Wheeler and Co., of London, who
failed in January last, will not be materially pro-
iudioed by the stoppage of their correspondents in
Melbourne, Messrs. A. Wilson, Nephew, and Co.
The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 213 L, and the Brighton an
increase of NU _

The weekly traffic return of the Great Western
Railway of Canada, just received, shows an in-
crease of 1,5121 sterling.
