London, England, 1863-10-19 00:00:00

A new 3 per Cent. Loan has been announced by
Messrs. Stern Brothers for Portugal. The amount
is £2,500,000, but only £1,500,000 is to be sub-
scribed for, as £1,000,000 has been already privately
placed, and £250,000 reserved for Portugal. The
bonds are to be issued in sums of £lOO and £5OO
each, and the price is £4B, payable in seven instal-
ments up to June next, but if payments in full are
Made the price is reduced to 46k, reckoning f per cent.
for discount, and 1 per cent. for overdue interest.
The bonds are to " bearer," and the interest is pay-
able half-yearly, in January and July in each year,
in London and Paris. The money is to be specially
applied to the completion of railway and public
roads authorised by the Cortes, and as the proceeds
will remain in England for purchasing the neces-
sary materials, the operation will not produce any
adverse effect, such as would be the case if

gold were to be exported. Portugal is already
reaping largely of the seed she has sown
by the greater development of her resources
within the past few years, and the faith all classes
in the kingdom now place in her Government. The
increase in the revenue which must follow the open-
ing up of new sources of agricultural and mineral
wealth, Rill materially assist the Government in
equalising their stock more with the price of the
other favourite foreign loans.
The bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday
comprised an influx of £12,000 in bar gold, and a
withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts for
the past week were generally of a satisfactory cha-
racter. At Manchester there was a fair amount of
business transacted in both cloths and yarns, at
fully late rates. The woollen trade of Leeds,Brad-
ford, and Huddersfield remained moderately active
for this time of year. In the hosiery and lace de-
partments of Leicester and Nottingham more anima-
tion prevailed ; while in the hardware districts of
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton a fur-
ther improvement was apparent in most depart-
ments.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rsuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f. 32c. to 67f. 35c.—Rather firm.

Affairs in the Market for the English Funds con-
tinue in the same inactive state as for some time
past. Speculation is dormant, and Foreign Stocks
and new schemes engage the attention of investors.
Consols are 93 for money, and 93/ / for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 91/ ;
Excheianer Bills, ls. prem. ; India 5 per Cents.,
109,1 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 1001 ; ditto Enfaced 5
per Cents., 1071 ; ditto 59 per Cents., 106 k.
The Foreign Market today presents a firmer
appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 71/ ;
do., Consolides, have improved to 53; a ; Greek to
304 4; do., Coupons, to 149 ; ; Spanish Passive to
37k 1; do., Certificates, 141 ; the Internal Pas-
sive to 311 32 ; Portuguese are 48; 49 ; Russian,
93} I ; the Confederate Loan is 65 67 ; and the New
Portuguese, 1k I prem.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been on a rather limited scale, and prices have re-
mained without changeof importance. Lancashire
and Yorkshire, and Midland have advanced 65.;
and London and Brighton, 103., while North
Western and South Western have each declined I.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings continue
dull at previous quotations.
Bank Shares are in fair request, without, how-
ever, any material alteration in values. India Land
Mortgage is quoted 39 3 prem. ; and East London, 1
I prem.

In the Miscellaneous Market there is little
change. London Financial shares realise 15i ; Ge-
neral Credit, 4t i ; and Discount Corporation shares
are quoted 9i I prem.
