MONETARY REPORTS.-YESTZEDAY.

Much quietness has been prevalent in the Stock Ex-
change to-day. Business has been to some extent sus-
pended, in consequence of the uncertainty as to the result
of the Conference, the first meeting of which takes place
to-day. It is also believed that some decisive news will
shortly be received from the Continent, and this has had
the effect of limiting transactions. The rail-
way market has been depressed, and Metro-
politan, Brighton, Great Eastern, North Eas-
tern, Midland, North Western and Great Western
have given way in value. Foreign bonds also have been
rather ogler. Console have been flat, at 922, 92110 r delivery
