Consols for the 7th of June which were quoted at
4 o'clock yesterday 911 to 1 (receding after the close
of the Stuck Exchange to 911 to /), opened this
morning at 911 to 1, and closed at 911 to /. Far

The scrip of the New Indian Loan receded about
per cer.•., closing. at 92/ to 931. The Four per
7ent. Debentures issued last year were quoted 93}
to 941.
Apart from that connected with the settlement,
little bra.ness was done in foreign stocks. Turkish
Bonds, which were rather steadier, left off the sane
as at 4 o'clock yesterday—vie., at 60 to 62 the Old.
and 50 to 52 the Now Loan. The Turkish Guaranteed
Four per Cents. were more inquired for. Other
foreign stock' were steady.
This was " making up day " in the share market.
The settlement in British railway stocks indicates an
extremely limited amount of outstanding specula-
tion, the buineas being principally of a Iced
character. The rates of " continuation" were, con-
sequently, a mere matter of negotiation. In a number
of instances where old transactions are still eon-
- -

tinted, a " contango" of about I per cent. was
nominally quoted, but even this was by no means
general at the close.
A call of 21. is to be paid on the shares in the
Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and Chins, by
the 16th of June.
Bank shares today were quiet, with little change
in price. Ottoman Bank were rather flit, at 16 to
16. London Discount and Oriental Gas shares were
inquired for, whilst Mediterranean Extension tele-
graph were quoted lower.
