London, England, 1863-09-02 00:00:00

English Securities this morning have lost the
buoyancy they exhibited at the close yesterday
evening. There is no doubt that the heaviness now
witnessed is due to a few sales rather than to any
other overt or unfavourable circumstances. In fact,
everything tends to keep up prices, and to impart
encouragement to speculators for a Ilse. Consols are
938 I for money and the 9th inst.,! and 93i for the
Bth proximo. The Reduced Annuities are firm at
92z- ex. div_ ; and the New Threes are also steady
at 921 I, ex. div. ; the 5 per Cent. Annuities are
buoyant at 109 ; but the 30 Years' Annuities are
lower at 141 ; the 5 per Cent. India Loan remains
at 1081; and the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 108.
There is less annimation in the Foreign Market,
but prices are generally well supported. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1858, are 691 1 ex div. ; Ditto, 1862,
701 1; Ditto, Consolides, 521 1; Mexican, 391 d ;

Russian, 93; Egyptian, 1011 ex div. ; Peruvian,
871; and the Confederate Loan is 28 to 26 die. less
the dividend.

In the Railway Share Market there has been very
little business transacted, and the variations in
prices have not been impertant. North Western,
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North
Eastern (Leeds) have each improved about 58.,
While Great Eastern, Great Western, and Midland
have declined 58., and Lancashire and Yorkshire,
10s.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit
no material change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally ex-
hibit a firmer tone. City Bank realise 101 102;
•Imperial Ottoman, 199 International Financial
shares are 102 General Credit and Finance,

arrival of the Florida at the harbour of St. George in that
island, on July 16, she tired a salute, which was returned
by the English. forts. This was construed by some into a
tacit recognition of the independence of the South. A.
strong Southern feeling seems to prevail in the island ; the
harbour is reported to be full of blockade runners, and a
" considerable interchange cf civilities has taken place be..
