The stock markets are buoyant to-day, and the
general tendency of prices is still upwards. The
Bank of England return is considered very favour
able, and it is fully anticipated that the rate of
discount will be reduced next week to 5 per cent.
Consols have improved 1 per cent., owing
to a continuance of large purchases, said
to be chiefly on account of joint stock
' and private banks. There is no doubt
that during the recent crisis many of these
establishments were compelled to sell stock to
strengthen their positions. British railway
securities are in active demand, and ex-
hibit a fresh advance of to 1 per cent.,
the belief being very strong that the traffic will
soon improve through a revival of trade. Foreign
bonds and banking shares are likewise in request,
and financial are steady.
There is a fair demand for money to-day, but the
supply is very large, and good bills are taken at 1
to 1 per cent. below the Bank of England minimum.
' The charge in the Stock Exchange for short ad-
vances till to-morrow is 44 to 51 per cent.
Consols are now quoted 89# to for money
and 891 for the 6th of September.
Foreign stocks are firm, and prices have im-
proved in many cases. Turkish Bonds of 1865
are in prominent request, and have risen
per cent. Greek and Mexican have
also advanced #, and Spanish Passive and
the Committee's Certificates, ; Italian of
1861, however, have receded 1. Turkish of 1862
are quoted 49 to 50 ; ditto of 1865, 261 to 27 ;
Greek, 141 to ; Spanish Passive, 231 to # ; ditto

prem.
Ever since the first movement of the Bank, a
fortnight ago, from 10 to 8 per cent., the course of
the discount market has been such as to warrant
the expectation of a rapid decline in the value of
money. Another reduction to 5 per cent. next
Thursday is counted upon as almost a certainty,
and it is doubtful whether the downward move-
meat will remain there. We seem to be repeat-
ing our experience of the period that followed the
alias of 1857, when for nearly three years the rate
of discount was never higher than 5 per cent., and
for a long time stood at 2} to 3. It remains
to be seen, however, whether now, as before, the
low value of money will fail to revive speculation.
At present the reduction in the rate has exercised
but little effect. The distrust caused by the pro-
longation of the late crisis has by no means died
out, and its consequences will probably be felt by
a continued stagnation in even the most legitimate
departments of trade.
The supposition that the Bank would yesterday
have gone to 5 per cent. is not unwarranted, con-
sidering the account published below. The coin
and bullion shows an increase of more than a mil-
lion, and the reserve of 1,343,0001. So large an
accumulation in the resources of the Bank during
one week is unprecedented, and only gives rise to
additional regret that the relaxation which has
thus proved extraordinarily beneficial had not
been adopted at an earlier period.
About 67,0004. in bar gold was sent into the
Bank yesterday, in addition to 11,000 sovereigns
, from Portugal.
The Kent has arrived from Melbourne with
161,5001. in gold; the New York, from New York,
with 9,000/., and the Etna, from the same port,
with 4,0001.
There is still some demand for gold for trans-
mission to New York, and the steamer leaving
. Liverpool to-morrow will probably take a mode-
rate amount.
The bar silver by the Shannon was sold yesterday
at ss. o:4d. per ounce, being ad. better than the
price lately current. The Mexican dollars by the
same steamer were also disposed of at 4s. 11d.,
showing no change.
The advice* from Wolverhampton refer to the
difficulties of Mr. J. B. Dickinson, irorunaster, and
state that he has offered his creditors a composition
of 10s. in the pound, payable in instalments ex-
