The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 17th inst. was
firm for Dutch Stock, and brisk for South American in-
vestments. Russian, French, and Spanish were rather
feeble.

The English Funds have been rather firmer, though
with scarcely anything doing. Consols were 97 to i,

and upon a rumour that the Bank of England had
lowered the rate of discount to 2 per cent., they became
buyers at 97k. This statement appears to be prema-
ture, although it is highly probable that the measure
will ere long be adopted, as loans upon Stock can be got
in Lombard-street at about 1 per cent. per annum. The
New Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents, have been 99 to
and the Three per Cents. 971 to 8. Bank Stuck is at
an advance to 217 and 218. Exchequer-bills are 58s.
to 625. premium.
Foreign Stocks are much quieter. The dividend on
Mexican will be announced to-morrow by Colonel Fa-
cio. This shows great promptitude. The Bonds are
324 Equador Stock is dull, at 41 to k. Buenos
Ayres has been firm at 53. Grenada Bonds realise 21,
and Peruvian 98k, being steady though very quiet.
Spanish Three per Cents, have been 402 to 414, and the
Deferred 181 to 4, Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been at 59 to
Railway Shares are generally rather heavy, from pau-
city of business rather than from sales.

this day, are in round figures as under:-
