There is little business to-day in public securities,
and prices show dulness, notwithstanding the
favourable character of the Bank of England re-
turn and the consequent expectation that the
minimum rate of discount will soon be lowered to
per cent. The funds are offered for sale, and
have declined per cent. Most other securities
are unaltered, with the exception of some of the
English railway stocks, which are slightly higher.
There is a fair demand for money to-day, but
the supply is large, and choice paper is dis-
counted at 4,1 per cent., or 1 below the Bank rate.
The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange
is 4 per cent., with a moderate inquiry.
Consols are now quoted 89 to for money, and
891 to 1 for the account (Oct. 9).
Very few transactions have been reported in
foreign stocks, and most of the speculative descrip-
tionsareunchanged. Mexicanbondsremainflat,and
exhibit afreshreduction of Ipercent. SpanishCertifi-
cotes!, however, have improved 1 ; Turkish Bonds
of 1862 are now quoted 56 to 58 ; ditto of 1865,
311 to 321 ; Greek, 151 to 16 ; Spanish Passive,
221 to 23 ; ditto Certificates, 151 to 1 ; Italian,
1861, 561 to 571 ; and Mexican 151 to 16.
United States 5-20 Bonds have advanced 1 per
oent., viz., to 721 to ; but Erie and Illinois
Central Railway shares are without change, at 461
to 471 and 781 to /, respectively.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quoted
161 to / ; and Atlantic Telegraph 61 to j, showing
no variation in either case.
International Financial shares are quoted 11 to
1 dis. ; London Financial, 13 to 12 die. ; general

The weekly return of the Bank of France shows
the following changes :
Coin and bullion Decrease 2236,000
Circulation
Bills discounted
Treasury balance lncrease 640,000
Current accounts Decrease 168,000
Advances
The coin and bullion show again some diminu-
tion, owing partly, it is said, to payments for
grain abroad, but the amount held is still enor-
' moue, and.many millions in excess of the Bank's
real requirements. That the demtn& for money
in France is languid is shown by the decrease in
Ithe discounts.
According to some statements the liabilities of
Premchund Roychund, the great native Bombay
speculator, whose failure has just been announced,,
will reach the enormous total of three or four
millions sterling. It is to be hoped that these
estimates are exaggerated, and that, in any case,
as the failure has been expected for me-Abe past,
its actual occurrence may tend to clear the com-
mercial atmosphere in that city.
The directors of the Grand Trunk Railway Com-
pany of Canada recommend in their report the
