A steady business is transactedin discount circles,
but as first-class three months' paper is negotiated
out of doors at 61 per cent., very few applications
are made at the Bank of England. The return on
Thursday is therefore expected to show a further
diminution in the other securities, and also an in-
crease •f bullion, scarcely a day now passing with-
out an influx of gold consequent upon a falling off
in the demand for exportation.
About £46,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

The application list of the Consolidated Discoun
Company will close to-morrow.

At Paris this morning (according to Mr. Renter's
telegram) the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 40c.
Heavy.

Although there has not been much activity to-day
in the market for the English Funds, sales have
preponderated, and a decline of 1 per cent. has taken
place, Consols being 91i a for money, and 911 I for
the account. The New Threes and Reduced An-
nuities are now 911 I ; and Exchequer Bills, 93.
4s. die. ; India 5 per Cents. are 1061 1 ; Enfaced
4 per Cents., 95 ; and the Bonds par to 6s. dis.
In the Foreign Market there has been a pressure
of sales of the principal speculative securities, and
a consequent fall in prices. Turkish 6 per Cents.,
1862, are 70f 711 ; do. Consolides have declined
to 471 ; Mexican, 37; 1; Spanish Passive, 331 ;
Greek, 241 25 ; Portuguese, 49 4; and the Con-
federate Loan, 36 38.

The operations in the Railway Share Market
continue very limited, and are confined principally
to transactions in connection with the settlement.
A firmer tone however prevails. Caledonian and
North Western have advanced ss. ; Great Western
and Midland 10s. ; South Eastern, 15s. and Lan.
cashire and Yorkshire, £l.

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive
at about former quotations.

Bank and Miscellaneous shares continue in
moderate request. Alliance of London and Liver-
pool have improved to 44; Chartered of India,
Australia, and China to 381- ;
,East London are
quoted 71-, ; London and South African 261 'II;
Discount Corporation realise 61 ; General Credit,
; Mercantile Credit, 101; National Shipping
Company, to 1 prem. ; West India and Pacific,
