flatness, but the actual reduction in prices is limited
to about 1-16 per cent. The government broker
continent his daily parchment. Toe principal business
in the Stock Exchange is the commencement of the
fortnightly settlement in shares. The rates of interest
are very moderate, bat the heavier English railway

loss dealt in 981 to el the New Three per Cents. at
98f to 11; Beak Stook at 219# to 221 ; India

At Paris to-day (Friday), according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rastas
opened at 69fr. 60c. for the account, and immedi-
ately improved to 69fr. 66c., being the same as
they closed yesterday. The telegram describes the
Bourse as " heavy."

It is oonsidered probable that the absorption of
money in the 10 per cent. deposit on the rnabscrip-
kiwis for the new Brazilian loan represents some-
thing late three-quarters of a million sterling, but
the temporary withdrawal of this sum he. produosd
no appreciable effect in the money market.

The produce market has assumed a heavy ap-
pearance. Sugar, tea, rice, and tallow were all
cheaper yesterday. Saltpetre, however, was dearer.

Rotterdam, Antwerp, and the Nott bap Parts sea

THURSDAY STERNS.

The lands maintain considerable steadiness. The
extreme vadatioe to-day scarcely mended I per
seat., and the closing quotation was almost exactly
the same as that of yesterday. The immediate ten-
dency of the speculative operations seems to be
adverse to prices, owing partly to the approach of
the settlement. but support is derived from continued
bawd fide purchases. About 120,0001. to 150,0001.11
stock is understood to have been bought to-day far
investment, principally on banking secount. The
position of affairs in France ominous to excite a
pod deal of anxious discmsion, but the public mind
seems to be vowing more callous to the =easy
indi-
sstisus presented in that quarter.
