Considerable purchases of money stock are re-
ported to have been again made on the Stock
Exchange, and the Hebrew party have bought
largely. These operations have naturally given
much strength to the market. As we have
before stated, there is generally a more con-
fident feeling, and the public are steadily
investing. Consols for money have been
88i to 881, and for account, after being 88i
I, they were 88 buyers, and are now 881 a again.
The New 3 per Cents. are 88 to 88k, and the Re-
duced 87k to 4. Bank _Stock is flat at 207. Ex-

According to a despatch received by the Messrs.
Baring from the Secretary of State for the Finan-
cial Department of New Granada, we learn that
the Government of that country request these
gentlemen to inform the Committee of Spanish
American Bondholders in London that the Peru-
vian Bonds held by them are destined to be in due
time and season applied for the benefit of the
foreign debt, and they request the committee to
return the said bonds, in order that proper regula-
tions may be issued to carry the purpose intended
into effect.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20 ;
Mexican, 19i to 19i ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto
Three per Cents., 51 to 53; Portuguese Four per
Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95
to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88 ;
Spanish New Deferred, 19i to j ; ditto Three per
Cents., 37i to 38 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 4i ;
ditto Passive, 4/ to 5.
For Foreign Stocks there was generally a steady
market. The Turkish 6 per Cents. have been as
high as 971 to 971, but are at present 97i to 97i.
The New Scrip is at 21 to 2i discount, being a rise
of about per cent. Belgian 41 per Cents. are
94, and Spanish Deferred 191 to 193, which
is about the previous value. Sardinian Bonds'
are flat at 83g. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. realised 71 to 72. Danish Five per
Cents. are at 1001, and Brazilian Five per Cents.

There is more activity in Railway Shares, and
the prices tend upwards. Great Western, North-
Western, North-Eastern, and Berwick and South-

Canada Shares are steady.
For Mining and Banking Shares there is scarcely
any inquiry. Canada Government Debentures are
1 per cent. higher. Royal Mail Steam have risen
