there was a further upward movement in the rates
on nearly all the principal continental cities except
St, Petersburg, which were considerably lower,
owing to the unfavourable advices respecting finan-
cial affairs there.

Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cant. Routes

There is not much animation in the English
Funds to-day, the speculative operations being con.
ducted on a very limited scale, and the increased
value of money prevents the possibility of any large
investments. Consols are the same as at the close
of business yesterday afternoon—viz., 921 a for
money, and 911 1, less the dividend, for the account.
The New Threes are 902 ; the Reduced, 9021
India 5 per Cents., 1084 a ; ditto Enfaced, 1051 ;
ditto Debentures, 991; and Exchequer Bills 4s. die.

decidedly heavy tone, and business is very much
curtailed. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 691 4 ;
do., 1862, 701 71 ; do., Consolides have receded to
471 481 ; Mexican, to 381 391; Spanish Passive, to
231 34 ; do., Certificates, to 121 13 ; but Greek are
rather firmer at 30a s ; while the Coupons are heavy
at 141 ; Portuguese, 1862, have declined to 484
491; do., New Scrip, to 191 prem. ; Italian, to 71i ;
and the Confederate Loan is 60 62.
In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been of a rather limited description. The dealers
and speculators are occupied with the arrangements
for the half monthly settlement. Great Eastern,
Great Western, South Western and Midland have
declined 55., and North Eastern (Berwick), 10s.,
'while Lancashire and Yorkshire have advanced 108,
The Foreign and Colonial Lines have been ne-
glected, and exhibit no change as regards prices.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares also continue in
very limited request. Consolidated Bank have re-
ceded to 99, and Union of London to 391. Discount
Corporation are flat at 101 1-, and International
Financial at 81 9. National Shipping Co. are
quoted sto 5 prem., and Swedish Bank from 3to

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mille pm,, and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. on
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 43
178• boo. per ounce for standard gold, it appear . that gold is
about 1-10th per cent dearer in London than in Paris.
1137 advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 426 k per mark
and the short exchange on London is 134 per £1 sterling.
2tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London.
