MONETARY REPORTS.--YESTERDAY.

Nothing has transpired to mar the prospect of a rest,)-
ration of peace. Nevertheless the stock markets have
continued in a very quiet state, and a further decline
has taken place in prices. This is entirely due to the
increasing dearness of money, and to the certainty
that our resources are about to he taxed by the introduc-
tion of fresh loans. To-day, in the railway market,
Metropolitan and Brighton have risen in value ; but in all
other respects the fluctuations ha .re been unsatis-
factory, whilst as regards foreign bonds, the only
upward movement has been in the case of French scrip,

which is a per cent. higher, Spanish, Italian, Egyptian,
and Turkish having receded in value. Consols have
experienced a further fall of per cent., being quoted at

91i, 92 for delivery and the account. Reduced and New
Three per Cents., 92, 92i ; Bank Stock, 241, 243 ; Ex-
chequer bills, 108. to 15s. prem. ; India Five per Cents.
have been done at 1101,1101, and India Bonds at 225. to
275. pm.
The tone of the Railway Market has been quiet, and
the bulk of the alterations have been unfavourable.

each better ; but Caledonian and Great Eastern have
fallen 1, and Midland and Great Western 1. Caledonian
