Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 45c.
Rather firm, but inanimate.
A small amount of business has been recorded
to-day in the market for the English Funds, and
it has not led to any material change, Consols being
93 for transfer, and 931, for the account. The st
tendency seems favourable, but there is very little 4t.,
speculation in progress. The New Threes and sic
Annuities Annuities are firm at 93i ; the 30 Years' 1(
Annuities at 151; and Exchequer Bills are ls. dis. ii

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
dull, the chief dealings being connected with the
half-monthly settlement now in progress ; prices 4
however are generally firmer. Great Eastern and
North Western have improved 55.; Midland, 10s. ;
Caledonian, 155.; and Great Northern and North
