Two o'CLooz.

An advance of 1-18 to 1 pee cent has
taw place to-day in the fund.. The upward
'movement would have been more marked but for
the continued flames of the Paris Bourse.
In the other departments of the Stock Exchange the
tendency of prices is likewise upwards. Indian
murales of all kinds madame in demand, and are
wry strong : the railway stocks have advanced.
There is also an improvement in British,
Great Western of Canada, Grand Trunk of Canada
and Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares. Tartish
Bonds have again risen considerably.
The New Indian Five per Cent. Loan is steady,
at 1041 to 1, ex div., for the account.
The first price for the Three per Cent. Renter at
Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's tele-
gram, was 88fr. 70c. for thelend of January, whence
the market receded to 88fr. 60c., being I per cent.
lower than yesterday afternoon.
Consols an officially marked 961, ex div., for the
10th of January. The present quotation is 95 11-18
to 13-18, or 951. Ralf an hour ago it was 961
to 1. Bank Stook has been dealt in at
2271 and 227 ; the Three per Cents. Reduced,
at 951 and 96 ; the New Three per Cents.,
at 98, 961, and 961 ; the New Indian Loan,
for account, at 104/ and ex di,. ; the Four per
Chet. Debentures of 1858, at 981; ditto, 1869,
at oes India Bonds, at Bs. to 10s. prem. ; and Ex-
chequer Bills, at 28s. to 31s. pram.
In the foreign stook market the demand is still
for Turkish stocks, which have attained a fresh
rime of about / per cent , the Loan
of 1864 being now quoted 791 to /, and
that of 1858, 661 to 67. Mexican and other
foreign descriptions are quiet. Sales are
recorded as follows :—Mexican Three per
Cents., for account, 221; Peruvian Uribarren
Foar-and-a•Half per Cents., 81, ex div. ;
Portuguese Three pee Cents., 1863, 441, ex div. ;

2 to 3 prem.

the New Bank of Turkey, I to 1 prem. ; Ocean Marine
Insurance, I/ to lf prem.; and Universal Marine,
die. to par.
The steamer Tyne has arrived from Brazil, with
41,3941. in specie.
The private letters from Paris confirm the im-
prention that the late severe reaction is in great
part the natural effect of the too eager specu-1
lation for the rise carried on during December. The
French speculators in Lombardo-Venetian and other
shares derived additional encouragement from the
recent suppression of the settlement in the middle of
the month. The proposal to abolish the fortnightly
settlements in the London Stock Exchange has occa-
sionally been revived, bat this latest proof of the
effect of a similar incentive to speculation in Perim
tends to place the suggestion in its true light.
The two classes of Venezuela bonds now bear
respectively 3 and li per cent. per annum dividend.
The New Canada Five per Cent. Loan was in de-
mand yesterday, and rose to to 2i per cent. prem.
The applications will probably be very numerous,
and will comprise many (or permanent investment,
on banking and private account. There will also,
in all likelihood, be a number of speculative sub-
scriptions,-the first instalment, fixed for the 16th
inst., on allotment, being limited to 10 per cent.,
and no preliminary deposit being required.
The fall at Paris has been aggravated by the
forced closing of the accounts of some speculators
for higher prices, who have been declared unable to
meet their engegirments.
No gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday ;
the 280,0001. by the Anglesea, and the 30,0001. by
the Persia, supplying the immediate wants of ex-
porters. The 109,0001. by the Lew Chew will also
be despatched abroad.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the
only alteration of importance was a slight advance in
the rates on Vienna. Bills on the Continent generally
were in fair demand, and in two or three instances
the tendency was rather unfavourable. The rates
are shown below :

Amsterdam, three months, 11.16 to } ; short, 11.13} to } ;
