CooIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Two O'CLOCK.
At Paris, this day, according to I*. Reuter's
telegram,
the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 60c.
The English Stock Market has shown symptoms
of flatness to-day, owing to the little business in
these securities. The recent and continued victories
of the United States armies, and the surrender or
dispersion of the South, cause very violent fluctua-
tions in the bonds and shares of the two powers.
The Confederate loan has declined 5 per cent. to
12,
13, while United States 5-20 bonds have im-
proved 2i per cent, to 674, 68 ; Erie Railway
shares have risen 4 per cent. to 49f, 52 ;
and Illinois Central Railway shares 7 per
cent, to 75k, 76. For these latter securities
there is an exceedingly large demand, and prices
continue daily to rise in value. Dealings in other
descriptions are very inactive, and the markets re-
main dull. Consols have receded to 90k 91 for
money, and to 91 for the account. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89 1 ; Exche-
quer Rills, ss. to 7s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents.,
106 k 1071; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1021 103 ; and
bebentures 99i.
Beyond the movement in the Confederate Loan
there is no new feature of import ante in the
Foreign
Market. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862 ,
are 73 ; ditto Consolides, 54 j. ; Mexican, 26i *;
ditto New, 25i ; Greek, 20i ; Spanish Passive,
34 ditto Certificates, 16k ; Italian, 64k k ;
and Russian, 921
f .111 the Railway Share Market there has been a
.n air
most amount of business transacted, and prices have
instances shown increased firmness. Metro-
politan have advanced £1 ; Lancashire and York-
e, London, Chatham, and Dover, and North
Western, each 10s. ; and Great Eastern, Great
Western, Midland, North Eastern (Berwick), and
South Eastern, each ss.
The Foreign and
,Colonial lines exhibit no mate-
ral change in values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are also dull, and
without- any great variation in prices. Anglo-
-e'gYptian Navigation Company shares are quoted
313 prem. ; Rio de Janeiro Gas, 1 1k prem. ;
South African Land, 1 prem. ; and Colonial
and General Land Credit, 1i 2 prem.
