Tha decline in Turkish Bonds to-day was pro
moted by an attempt which is bein made t sell
here some parcels of the Turkish internal stock at
low prices. The introduction of a stock of this

practically no limit to the
guards. amount of the issue, nor any of the usual safe-

count of the last Turkish Loan.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Tk Swiftsure has been announced from Mel-
boTirne this m irning with £191,000 in specie.

and in Paris, but about 3 10ths per cent, higher

share.

At the forthcoming meeting of the Great

ginal stock of the company.
Business in the general discount market continues
quiet, and there is still an tctive competition for the
small supply of commr4rcial bills brought forward
for negotiation. As the rates current in the open
market are as low as 17 per cent. for first:class
bills, the applications at the Bank of England are
Very limited, and it will not create surprise if the
return to appear to-morrow evening should show
a further
diminution in the stock of other securities.

CITY, Two o.
London and South-Western Railway' stock was
scarcely at all affected in price yesterday by the
announcement of a dividend at the rate of 4 per
Cent. per annum.
A dividend of 15s. per £56 share, and 4s. 6d. per
£l5 share, will be payable to the shareholders in

At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes
°Pened at 69f. 05c., being sc. better than yester-
tlay.

There is a slight increase in the demand for dis-
count accommodation, and the rates are a shade
easier in consequence. A few days ago 1„1 2 per
Cent. Were the quotations for first-class bills, but
per cent, must now be quoted at the minimum
accepted in general discount circles. It is very
probable that business will become still more active
owing to the provision that will have to be made
for the new loans and joint-stock companies now
before the public.

The English Stock Market still exhibits de-
-pression. Shortly after the commencement of busi-
ness sales were again pressed, and a decline of
per cent, ensued, Consols being 93,1 a for tuoneN-,
and 93a1 for the 4th preximo. There appears to
be an inclination on the part of the public to sell
English securities for the purpose of investing the
Proceeds in new loans and other undertakings.
