Two o'CLocs.

The funds remain eat. Console are now quoted
about 1-16 per cent. below the reduced price
established yesterday. Very little business is going
forward. Evidence of increased anxiety with regard
to the course of affairs on the Continent
is afforded by a fresh fall in Lombardo-
Venetian railway shares. British railway
stocks are generally steady. The attention
of the members of the Stock Exchange has been prin-
cipally occupied with the adjustment of the account
in shares and foreign stocks, this being settling day.

The foreign stock market is very inactive, with
scarcely any change in prices. Turkish Bonds

56 to 57. Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian

Cents., 214 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
954 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 504 ; Turkish Six

The discount market continues to exhibit the
activity usual at this period of the year, and which
will probably last, or increase, until the 4th of
January is turned. Some tightness is observable,
and 5 per cent. is the lowest rate for the beat bills.

the Bank of England yesterday the applications
were rather heavy.

continues active, and the rate for short loans on

terday, took 83,4431., and the Nova Sootian, 5001.
