Th., Stock Exchange reopened this morning with
a very quiet appearance, and the transactions
since havo been upon a trifling scale. There is a
very thin attendance of members, and the
impression seems to be that no real re-

weeks to come. Console, in which prepa-
rations are being made for the monthly settle-
ment to-morrow, are rather dull, but the reduction
in them does not exceed 1-16 per cent. The

the rate for continuing operations to the new account
is consequently somewhat higher, at 3-16 per cent.

important. Yudanamutana Copper shares have
given way, in the absence of any confirmation of
