There has not been much activity in the market
for the English Funds, but sales have been effected
in consequence of increased depression on the Paris
Bourse, which, taken in conjunction with the state
of political affairs on the continent, is regarded as
an unfavourable feature. Consols have consequently
given way about 3-16ths per cent., viz., to 921 I,
for money and account. The New Threes and Re-
duced Annuities are 93 1 ; Exchequer Bills appear
a little flatter at par to 2s. pron. ; Indian 5 per
Cents. are marked 1081 1 ; Enlaced, 51 per Cent.,
116; and do. Debentures, 100/.
Foreign Stocks have generally declined, and
business is inactive. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862,
are 6714; do. Consolides, 48 4 ; Greek, 321 i ; do.
Coupons, 144 151 ; Mexican, 361 1; Portuguese,
48 ; Italian 701 4 ; Egyptian, 1t26 103; and the
Confederate Loan, 16 to 14 dis.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been very limited, and a further slight decline has
taken place in prices. Caledonian, North Western,
and South Eastern have receded 55., Great Western
and Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s., and Great
Eastern 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings show no
change of importance.

one or two instances are a shade flatter. English,
Scottish, and Australian Chartered haNe receded to
224; London and South African to 258. Crystal
Palace stock has improved to 394 ; and Peninsular
and Oriental Steam have declined to 781. Inter-
