The fonds to-day are dull, and yesterday's
improvement oft per cent. has not been supported.
Lombardo-Venetian Railway share have advanced,
while some of the British railway stocks are
rather weaker. In other securities there is no varia-
I don of importance, owing to the inactivity of busi-

At Paris to-day, at twenty minutes past twelve
o'clock, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the

per Cent. debentures of list year at 351 ; India
Bonds, at 2s. to 61. dia. ; and Exchequer Bills at
27a. to 31s. prem., being higher.
Business in the foreign stock market has re-
sumed • quiet appearance, but prices generally are
pretty well supported. The Old Turkish Six per
Cents. are rather firmer, at 831 to 841, whilst
the New Loan remains quoted 711
to 72J. Venezuela Bonds are still enquired for.

At Amsterdam yesterday the Austrian Metallic'
closed 1 per cent. lower than on Thursday. At
Vienna on Thursday • fresh rise of 2 per cent. was
attained. The exchange on London was quoted 119.
The reduction in the Bank's terms attracted a
moderate amount of business to that establishment
yesterday, although first-class bills were taken else-
where at 21 per cent., and, in exceptional instances,
even as low as 2 per cent.
It is stated that the governments of England and
France, as guarantors of the Turkish Four per Cent.
Loan raised during the Russian war, contemplate
sending out two commissioners charged to inquire
into the state and resources of Turkish finance.
It was mentioned in the Bzpress of Thursday
that the parties interested in the last Austrian Loan
had been unsuccessful in their attempt to induce the
Stock Exchange Committee to admit the new stock
into that establishment. It has been intimated by
Messrs. Rothschild that, pending the answer of the
Austrian government to the renewed appeal of the
acripholdera, payment of the instalment of 20 per
cent, fixed for yesterday, bas been deferred until
Monday.
There were no transactions in bullion at the Bank
eeterday. The steamer Lucien has arrived froaaSt.

chased for transmission abroad. Of the specie by
the Ocean Queen, from New York, 80,0001. is for
England and 200,0001. for France. The former sum
came tohand yesterday,and4o,oool.in gold was taken
for the Continent ; the residue, 20,0001., consists of
Mexican dollars. The whole of the gold by the
Kangaroo will also be sent away.
Except as regards Frankfort, the continental ex-
change* yesterday afternoon showed an unfavourable
tendency. The principal movement was in the rates
on St. Petersburg and Austria. 'the quotation on
Vienna has fallen since Tuesday from 12.60 to 12fl.
to 12.20. The terms current yesterday afternoon are
shown below :

—the rate of the Bank of France, however, being
maintained at 4; at Amsterdam, at Frankfort, 3
to 31; at Hamburg, 2t021 ; at Vienna, about 5 ;
and at Berlin, 3 to 31 per cent,
The extraordinary delay in the arrival of the
Australian mail has given rise to a rumour that the
steamer Columbian may have been detained in Aus-
tralia by parties haying claims upon her former
owners, but the last &deices make no mention of
such a contingency. It is more probable that some
accident may have occurred to her machinery on the
voyage to Suez.

The payment of the dividends commenced on
Friday, the Bth. Owing to the awe in the moury
market, a considerable amount of advances was re petit
to the Bank ; hence the decrease in the " other"
securities. A very large addition having at the same
time been made to the private deposits, the decrease
to the reserve is unimportant The decrease in the
government securities probably represents the dimi-
nution in the value of annuities held by the Bank.
The Ga:ette statement of the movement of the
precious metals for the week ending Wednesday last
