CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Towards the close of business yesterday after-
noon increased buoyancy was perceptible in the
market for public securities, and the tendency of
prices appeared to be in the ascendant. This
Morning the earlier transactions took place
at the enhanced prices, but within the
last, hour a few sales have taken place, which
have led to a slight reaction. It is not im-
probable that some of the speculators who bought
at lower prices have closed their engagements to
realism profits, and hence the diminished firmness
now apparent. Upon the whole, however, the
aspect of affairs must be considered satisfactory,
Consols being 9311 for money, and 93 for the
account. The New Threes and the Reduced have
further improved to 93! 2 ; Exchequer Bills have
risen to 18s to 21s prem. ; Bank Stock has receded
to 238 ; India ditto, to 227 and 229, but the 5 per
Cent. Loan has advanced to 108! e.

The transactions in the Foreign Market have
been rather numerous, and prices have shown a
further upward movement. Turkish Securities
continue to attract the chief attention, the 6 per
Cents„ of 1854, have advanced to 861 87; ditto, of
1858, to 711 721 ; ditto New Loan Scrip, to 1 Of
dia. ; and the Internal Debt has risen to 351 36;
Egyptian Scrip is 121 131 prem. ; ditto, 2d issue,
101 HI prem. ; Portuguese Scrip, 21; Russian Scrip,
I prem. ; Italian 5 per Cents. are 707 1; Moorish
nave improved to 94; and Mexican, to 24- 11."
Business in the Railway Share Market continue
moderately active, and a further slight improve-
ment has taken place in prices. North Westerns
and South Easterns have advanced 5s ; and Great
Westerns and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 105. ;
South Westerns and Midlands, however, have re-
ceded about 10s. _ _ .

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings prices
have remained without change of importance. Re-
cife and San Francisco are firm at 151; ; Great
Luxembourg at 14; East Indian, at 104,1- 105;
Great Indian Peninsula, at 102t,-; Great Western
bf Canada have receded to 12/ ; and Cape Town
