At Paris to-day (Wednesday), according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renton
opened at 69.40 for the account, and at half-past one
o'clock were quoted 89.45, showing no alteration
compared with the closing price of yesterday.
The official announcement that the Budget will
be brought forward next Monday is calculated to
discourage immediate speculation in the Stoat
Exchange.
At the Bank the applications for money continue
moderate. In the open market the demand yesterday
was rather less active. The current rate for Bret"
class bills is 2; per cent., although transactions take
place amongst the money dealers themselves upon
somewhat lower terms.

About 8,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yes-
terday. The 191,0001. ex the Copenhagen reached
London yesterday, and a portion will probably be
sent in to-day.
Statements that the Turkish government has jest
coucluded a contract for a new loan with some
Western capitalists are at least premature. It
is quite true that negotiations for a loan of
three to six millions are on the tapir', but
up to the 10th instant, as we learn by tele-
graph, nothing had been concluded. On that day
the exchange on London bad fallen to 148 piastre&
Loan projects have been repeatedly under discus-
sion during the lest two years, but the parties es-
gaged in the present negotiation are believed to bate
senons intentions. The chief points requiring satis-
factory settlement will be, of course, the price, and
the special security to be assigned.
It is reported that the United States government
has offered to lend Mexico three millions of dollars
upon the security of the rich province of Sonora.
which adjoins California. It would not excite sur-
prise if the offer should prove a serious one, for the
territorial designs of the United States governmentare no secret. The negotiation is of some interest to
the holders of Mexican Bonds. _ _

—Tie steamer Pere is expected to reach South-
ampton from Alexandria at the end of the week,
with the heavy portion of the India and China mail
and 17,0831. in specie.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon pre-
sented very little alteration. Bills on Hamburg,
Holland, and Belgium were in fair request. The
rates are shown below :

Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood, who is charged
with the winding-up of the London and Beaton
Banking Corporation, proposes on the bth August
to make a call of 501. per share on all the contri-
butories included in Clams B, " being the holders of
shares at the date of the winding-up order," and
also included in Class D, "being shareholders who
bad transferred their shares within three years prior
to the date of the winding-up order, whose last
known places of abode respectively are not within
the United Kingdom."
The annual meeting of the proprietors of the
Oriental Bank Corporation is called for the 21st
of May.
Yesterday was " making-np day" in the share mar-
ket. The rates of " continuation" on English railway
stocks to the next settlement were generally
indicating a somewhat scanty supply of stook. Me
principal feature was in London and North Western
stock, of which the dealers were at one time " bor-
rowers." Subjoined is our usual statement of the
terms generally current :
London and North West= from " eves "to 3-16 pe mat.

TUESDAY ETIORNO.

The funds to-day were dull, and domed at a re-
duction of 1.16 to' per cent. Little business was
done. The proceedings in the House of Commons
last night are interpreted as indicating that the
debates on the India Bill will not involve any im-
mediate peril to the Ministry. Another circumstance
calculated to promote a settled feeling was the ;us-
nonncement that the important sum of 410,0001 in
gold from Brasil is approaching oar coast. The
market, however, remained perfectly inanimate. In
the share markets the principal business was in son-
nexion with the fortnightly settlement.
Console, which closed yesterday at 98 11-16 to
for the 6th May, opened this morning at 981 to
f, advanced to 98/, receded to 96 9-16 to I, and
closed at exactly 961. For money the last peies
was 961. The official business report is as follows :
—Three per Cent. Consols, for Itioulrf, 96i•
ditto, for account (Bth May), 98/, 961. Three pee
Cent. Reduced, 951, 955. New Three per Cents.,
951, 1, 1. Long Annuities, expiring in January,
1880, 1 11-18. Thirty Years Annuities, °Mohr,
1869, 1 7-16. Bank Stook, 222, 220. Three-atm&
a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, .111 Perin
in 1859, 101. India Loan Debentures, 1; Me,
Scrip, 99k, 99:, 99#.
The late important rise in the price of the new
Indian loan is not fully supported, but the reaction
scarcely exceeds 1 per oent. The closing quotation
this afternoon was 991 to/.
Exchequer Bills were quoted She. to 40e. prem.
India Bonds were dealt in at 18.. to 21s. poem.
Turkish Six per Cents. were more inquired far
in the morning, and were marked as high as 974 irk
div., but the price had receded at the close to 97/
to 4. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. were a trill
cheaper, at 104 to 4. Mexican Bonds remain flat.
