HALF.PAST ONE.
The mercantile accounts from Constantinople to the 27th
July, are of a favourable tendency, they state that business,
which was for a long time past in a state of stagnation, has at
length taken a turn ; a great number of purchasers from
the interior, who arrived lately, have given great activity to
the markets. The storehouses, containing articles of importa-
tion are nearly emptied, and sales of various articles are daily
made at advantageous prices.
Some of the houses who speculate in the affairs of the Bank,
will not this week furnish paper to the exigency of commerce,
but the exchange has not lowered.
Consuls are not quite so buoyant as in thl early part of the
morning, and have receded from 944 s to 941, sellers ;
Money, 944, little doing; Exchequer Bills, 72 74 ; India
Bonds, 75 ; Bank Stock, 2084. In India Stock nothing
doing.
In the Foreign Market—Spanish Active heavy, at 214 r;
Portuguese a shade lower, 374 a ; Three per Cents., 244 ;
Brazilian, 84; ; Mexican, 241-. The news from Mexico has
not had any effect on the Funds. Desch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 5,q- 4; Colombian, 264
