THIS DAY.

Two O'CLOCK.
Very little business is doing in tho English funds
this morning, and pricer, from the dull state of the
market, have declined k since the opening. Consols
were first called 96 to 1 both- for present transfer
and the 9th May, then declined to their present quo-
tation, 951 to 96 both for money and time. The
Three per Cents. Reduced mark 951 and 95 ; and
the New Throe-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 971 „,,!
and last 971. South Sea Old Annuities have been
done at 941.
Exchequer Bills mark 6Rs. and 705.; ditto 5004
705.; ditto small, 71s. and 68s. prem. India Bonds,
wider I,OOOL, 955. prem. Long Annuities mark
8 3-16 and 1; Ditto, 30 years, 1859, 7 15.16; Ditto,
30 years, 1860, Bank Stock, 206, 1, 71, and
206. South Sea Stock, 1051.
In the foreign stock market every small amount of
business has been done ta-day, and the prices gene-
rally continue as before, except for Spanish. The
Attive Five per Cent. Stock has experienced a further
heavy fall, the prospects of the unfortunate bond-
holders being regarded as particulary discouraging.
That the discreditable and dishonourable proposals of
the Spanish government will ever be acceded
to by the creditors of the state cannot be expected, so
long as they have the faintest hope of inducing her
Majesty's government to take measures for the
enforcement of an arrangement of the Spanish debt
more equitable for the foreign holders than the pre-
sent, which isgenerally regarded as another barefaced
attempt of the government of Spain to get out of her
solemnly contracted liabilities, and as such has been
received with general reprobation by all inte-
rested in the question both here and at Madrid.
The Active Bonds have fallen to 161, and
the Three per Guts. to 361. The transactions of the
morning are as follows :—Danish Five per Cent. Scrip
at 41 prem. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at
551 and 1; exchange, 12 guilders. Peruvian
Deferred, at 30, 21, and 30", Portuguese Four per
Cents., at 34 and 331. Russian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents , at 951 and 95; ditto Scrip, at 21 premium.
Spanish Active Five per Cents., for account, 161, 1,
and ; the Three per Cents., at 361 and 1 for money,
and 361 and 1 for account.
