and depressed appearance, and the few transactions
recorded have mostly been sales which have un-
favourably affected securities, In the English de-
partment very little business of a bona fide cha-
racter has been negotiated, and the funds, which
should have exhibited buoyancy, in consequence of 4h
the satisfactory intelligence from the Continent
iu
this morning, show a decline of -} per cent. Con- s)
sole are 91-7,- for money, and 94 I for the account.
