In the stock markets to-day the English funds are
rather dull, a few Sales having been made upon the
unsatisfactory tenor of the adviota from the United
States. The reduction in prices, however, does not
exceed 1.16 per cent., the supply of stock amongst
the dealers being very small. Foreign bonds
are also somewhat lower, in consequence of further
realisations. House railway securities, however,
continue in demand, and have experienced a fresh
advance. Caledonian is in prominent request, and
exhibits a rise of nearly 1 per cent., being about 7}
above the lowest quotation recently touched. The
public still hold almost entirely aloof from this
department, but an additional large amount of
stock has been bought to close speculative accounts.
The rate for the best paper in the discount
market is 1/ to per cent., with a very large
amount of money offering, and few bills in circu-
lation. In the Stock Exchange there is little or no
demand for loans on English government securi-
ties, even at 4 per cent. per annum.
Consols are quoted 924 to } for money and
the account (6th February), and the Three
per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents.,

The railway market is very firm, owing to a con-
tinuance of purchases to close speculative accounts.
Caledonian stock is in especial demand, and showers

The foreign stock market is dull. Turkish bonds
of 1862 have declined } per cent., the present
price being 571 to 584 ; Italian of 1861 and
Mexican are lower-the former at 424
to a, and the latter at 15} to 1. Spanish New

the receipt of 300.000/. from government securities
(the result probable of loan transactions with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer), and of 585,8371.
from private securities, consequent upon the rates
of money in the general market being greatly below
