but during the last hour the market has become
rather dull. Consols are now quoted 1-16 to i
per cent. lower than they closed yesterday. In
the other departments of the Stock Exchange, in
the absence of business, there is no variation
worth mentioning. Turkish Bonds, however, con-
tinue to meet with attention.

telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at

The discount market was rather tight yesterday,
and it was only in comparatively few came that
transactions occurred below the Bank rate. The
applications at the Bank were to a fair extent, but
not pressing. It is understood that a large portion of
the increase lately shown in the " other securities "
consists of advances on government securities, re-
payable on the payment of the dividends.
In the Coneol market money was tight, and com-
manded 6 per cent. on government securities.

the new Indian Loan will probably be fixed at 98.

Some attention is directed to the evidences of
financial distress reported from Russia. The go-

little for the relief of the commercial dames. Mean-
while, the French government has countenanced
the launching of another large railway loan, even
before the last one has been digested.

We are requested to state that the lists of appli-
cation for shares in the National Company for
Boat Building by Machinery (Limited) will be
closed on Monday, the 15th instant From the
arrangements conditionally entered into by the
directors, no doubt is entertained but that the
practical operations of the Company will be com-
menced without delay. This is deemed desirable
owing to the large number of applications already
received for bouts of various sizes.
