OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.

PUTNEY, WEDNESDAY.

The towing path was thronged with expectant
vb.itors who wanted to see both crews at work, but the
Cambridge gentlemen did not go out as arrangements
had been made for them to have a " spin "
with the London Rowing Club twelve at 5 this
evening when a very large assemblage of visitors is ex-
pected. There was however something to see on the part
of Oxford who went up at a nice pace against the tide to
Mortlake. They went away at 32 pulls per minute, which
were incieased to 34 well pulled. On their turn down
they bail a "spin" with an eight mainly com-
posed of the Kingston club-men. They were
however, fine oarsmen, and were headed by Mr. W. B.
Woodgate, who took the stroke. The " spin" was in the
course of the duration very smart. The Oxonians came
down with a good flood under them and wind mode-
rate, at 3,4 to 40 stroke, per minute. The men are in a
fine healthy strong condition, and are backed at 7 to 4.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Ows o'Cioat.

The amount of business in the Stock Exchange
to-day is rather considerable, but it consists prin-
cipally of sales, on orders, it is stated, from the
Continent. The condition of the market generally
is sensitive, the state of political affairs being still
regarded as disquieting. Consols, in which the
monthly settlement is now in course of completion,
exhibit no variation, but foreign stocks arc heavy,
and moat of the speculative descriptions have
declined. Some of the English railways are like-
wise lower, and other securities show dulness.

The discount market is quiet to-day, with a large
supply of money seeking employment, and few
billsoffering. The general rate for good paper is
21 to 21 per cent., and for short loans in the
Stuck Exchange, 1 to 11.

and 901 to for the account (May 9). The

bian Scrip, 6 to 4 dis.
