The stock markets remain dull, with a rather
drooping tendency, a few speculative sales being
induced by the continuance of broken weather and
by the anticipation of the half-monthly settlement,
whirl► begins to-morrow. Consols have declined
1-16 to per cent. Two or three of the chief horse
railways are kto per cent. lower, bat ,
there is no general change in this department. The •-•
dulness extends to foreign stocks, but the actual
reduction in prices is almost confined to Mexican,
Italian, and American securities. Now that
both the telegraphic cables have been successfully ;
completed to America, speculators who had bought
for that event are selling, and the consequenoe is a ;
further relapse in the shares of the companies in-
terested, especially Anglo-American Telegraph,
which have to-day suffered to the extent of 10s.
per share.
There is no alteration in the discount market„
which is still abundantly supplied with money.

Tie rates for choice bills remain at q to q par

Consols are now quoted 84 to for money,
and asit tot for the 9th October.
Foreign stocks are rather flat, and several of the
