LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
LONDON, Wednesday Evening.
To-day the Market for English Securities has
been fairly supported, although there - was not
much activity of business. Consols opened
without any sensible change from last night's
quotation, and are now marked at the same, viz.,
96=4 2 for money and account. 'Bank Stock ha:
been dealt in at 221 and 223 ; Reduced Three pet•
Cents., 95-1-, d ; India Debentures, 96 97 ; the
Bonds, 4 and 2 pm. ; and Exchequer Bills, 28s.
30s. and 275. pm.
In English Railway Stocks business was done
to a fair extent, but the recent advance in values
is not in all cases supported. Caledonians and
Great Westerns, have receded about per cent. ;
South Easterns, London and North-Westerns, and
IBerwieks, are marked ss. lower per share.

In the Market for Foreign Securities an average
amount of firmness has been exhibited in the
current values, and a moderate quantity of busi-
ness was done to-day. Peruvian Stock is quoted
I per cent. higher ; Portuguese are a fraction
better; Mexican and Spanish have not materially
varied ; New Turkish Sixes have been done at 70
and 691 ; New Indian Loan is quoted 1031„
and the New Russian Scrip at 3-1,- and dis.

The quotations for French Rentes at a quarter
past twelve was 69f. 70c., and subsequently 69f.
75c., but with a quiet market.

The Dover Castle is announced to have arrived
from Port Philip with 78,190 ounces of gold,
valued at £312,760.

to announce another issue of debentures. No bullion
operations again at the Bank to-day.—Daily Yews.
The confirmation of the news of the signing of the
treaty of peace at Zurich, the settlement of the dispute
between Spain and Morocco, and above all the continued
abundance of capital seeking investment caused the
English funds to open this morning with increased
firmness, and subsequently to experience a further ad-
vance. Consols left off steadily at an improvement of
1, per cent. There was an increased demand fcr money
to-day, and the rate in the open market was fully 21
per cent, Business in foreign stocks has been active,

and in several eases, especially Peruvian, Spanish, and
Veneznelas, an advance has taken place. In foreign
exchanges, this afternoon, rates generally about same as
lag post. There was some demand, however, for Aus-
trian bills. The market for British railway stocks
opened this morning at a further advance, which was
welt maintained until just before the close, when a
partial reaction took place.—Times.
