Owing to the large investments by the public and
by the banking interest, coupled with the rally on
the Palle Bourse,sthe funds are to-day decidedly bet-
ter, and more confidence prevails in every depart-
ment of the Stock Exchange. Console exhibit a
rise of per cent. compared with the quotations
current at four o'clock yesterday. English, French,
and Lombardo-Venetian and Indian railway shares
are all better. The settlement in the share market
chiefly occupies the attention of the dealers.
Consols were first marked 96} fur the Bth of
February, and after receding to 951 to 1, are now
quoted 9511 to 1. For money the present price is
951 to 1. . The Three per Cents. Re-
duced have been dealt in to a considerable
extent at 981 to ; the New Three per Cents., at
961 to 961 ; India Stock at 223 to 224; the Indian
Four per Cent. Debentures of the first issue,
at 991 to ; India Bonds, 17s. to 20e. premium ;
Exchequer Bills, both March and June, at 375. to
38e. prem., being lower ; Exchequer Bonda, falling
payable in May next, at 1001 to 1.
The foreign stock market is likewise firmer in cha-
racter, although sales in some instances are still
pressed. The New Turkish Loan is quoted 41 to 31
die. The Six per Cents. of 1854 have risen to 90 to
1. Spanish, Sardinian, Russian, and Mexican Bonds,
are firmer. The Anglo-Peruvian Four-and -a-Half
per Cents., however, are more offered. Buenos Ayres
Active Bonds are officially marked 891, ex div.,
showing likewise a reduction. Sales are recorded as
follows:—Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 801, ex div. ;
Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 1011, 1011; Mexi-
canThreelperCents.,l9l,l9l ; ditto,for account,l9l;

At Paris to-day (Thursday), according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes
' opened at 68fr. 80c., for the account, and
at half-past one o'clock,;were quoted 68fr. 85c.,
showing a rise of fully per cent. compared with
the closing price of yesterday. The telegram reports,
" excitement continues."
QUARTER-PAST Two O'CLOCK.
Consols are now a trifle weaker at 951 to } for
money, and 951 to for the Bth of February.
It would be wrong to overlook the warning whichl
is involved in the depreciation of the new foreignll
loans lately placed in this market. The " discount,"
on the Turkish, Chaim, and Brazilian loans varies
from 2 to 4 per cent. ; and the appearance of seller,
to even a moderate amount would prejudice these I
securities still more severely. This movement may
perhaps give a wholesome check to an midis.
criminating appetite for foreign investments.
The public will not fail to perceive that.
though they may get a higher rate of interest,
securities of this class ere open to most severe flue-
tuations, and, in times of disturbance, become almost
unsaleable unless at a very serious sacrifice. The
" floating" of a new foreign loan may be easy ; bat
its absorption into investing channels in all instances'
requires time.
There is still a good demand in the discount mar-
ket, but the supply of money has increased since the
payment of the dividends. The terms for the best
paper are 21 to 21 per cent. At the Bank the appli-
cations yesterday were rather more numerous than
on Tuesday, but still very moderate. The bulk of the
advances obtained during the shutting of the transfer
books have now been repaid to that establishment.
The Stock Exchange firm whose failure was
announced yesterday are brokers of respectable
standing. Their liabilities, which are large, have
arisen chiefly from transactions in French end Lom-
bardo-Venetian Railway shares. The stoppage is
principally attributed to the default of their princi-
pals at Paris. A good dividend is hoped for.
There is every probability that the settlement in
the Stock Exchange in the new shares of the Lom-
bardo-Venetian Railway Company will take place
about the end of the present month. The scrip is
in course of preparation, and is expected to be sent
from Vienna between the 20th and 26th inst.
Bills on Vienna were yesterday unsaleable unless -
at a considerable advance over the rates quoted on
Tuesday. Inn treemiterns.-... 4 a ,
