I. per cent., comparel with the closing quotation of

The government broker continues to make small
investments in the Reduced Three per Cents., that
stock being relatively cheaper than Consols, at pre-
sent prices.

The supply of money continues excessively large.
First-class bills are readily discounted at 21 per
cent.; and the applications at the Bank are eon-
sequently very scanty. The Bank abstained from
altering the rate of discount yesterday, thus realising
the general anticipation ; but the belief pins

of the minimum rate to 21 per cent will again be-
oome probable.

displayed, notwithstanding a fresh fall upon the
Paris Bourse. The uncertainty which prevailed re-
specting the Indian loan and the budget h•e beam
dispelled; and the extraordinary and increseing

vestments in good securities. At the same time
Stack Exchange business is extremely inactive, the
aspect of foreign politics discouraging speculation.
The funds closed about per cent. higher than yes-
terday. The principal feature of the day was •

the provinces. . -
