The tendency of the stock market is still upwards.
Consols are quoted 1-16 to it per cent, higher than
yesterday afternoon. British railway stocks ex-
hibit a fresh advance, although the best quota-
tations of the morning have not been supported
up to the present hoar. The principal demand
has been for Lancashire and Yorkshire
and Berwick stocks. Lombardo-Venetian
Railway shares have risen considerably, and the
demand extends to Canadian, Belgian and Indian
railway shares, most of which are quoted at a mo-
derate improvement.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Bente& were quoted
69fr.50c., but receded to 69fr. 40c. The latter price,
however, shows a fresh rise of fully per cent.
since yesterday.

for money, and 934 and 4 for the account.

The position of financial affairs at home having
been for some time past satisfactory, the only re-
straining influence has been exercised by the fear
of complications abroad. Now, however, the Sar-
dinian cabinet has pronounced explicitly against
any expedition against either Rome or Venetia,
the area of disturbance is regarded as being thereby
materially cireumscribed, the reorganisation of Italy
being left to the Italians themselves.
The commercial demand for money yesterday was
moderate. The best bill!, were discounted at 34 to
4 per cent. The applications at the Bank were
rather limited, although to-day is the 4tb.
In the Stock Exchange the rate for loans on
English government securities was 3 to 34 per
cent.

A further amount of newly-imported gold has
been bought for yanamisaion to Cadiz.

It is stated that some considerable parcels of
Peruvian Three per Cent. Stock have been offered
within the last day or two to the Pdruvian agents,
who, however, are said to have declined them,
being apparently loth to pay the present market
prime. The sum to be invested this month for the
sinking fund is about 60,0001., and the amount of
the debt now in existence is materially reduced.
The bondholders appear to be growing more con-
scious of the strength of their own position.
Messrs. Dumareille, Simon, and Co., leather
merchants, of Thavies-inn, Holborn, have stopped
payment. Their liabilities are probably under
20,0001., while their assets show 78. or Bs. in the
pound.
