HALF-PAST ONE.
The operations in the English Market have not been
to any extent ; prices, however, have improved, Consols
for the opening being firm at 884 4ex dividend. Busi-
ness has again been done in Consols for Money at 894 4 ;
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 'B4 ; Exche-
quer Bills have improved upon the prices of yesterday,
and are steady at 10s. to 12s. premium.
In the Foreign Market the transactions have been,
with the exception of Spanish Stock, which has im-
proved, upon a limited scale ; they are now
.firm, 244 ;
the Deferred, 114 124 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. are
steady at 334 ; Dutch Two-arid-a-Half per Cents., 52i;
and the Five per Cents., 994.
But little is doing in the Share Market. London and
South Western have receded from 564 to 35i. The
other Shares present no variation from former quotations.
TWO O'CLOCK.
Consols, Account, 884 ex. div. ; Spanish, 24 to 244.
QUARTER TO THREE.
Our City people were completely taken unawares by
the proceeding at the Old Bailey this morning, and the
whole affair of the Exchequer Bill forgery is
generally condemned as being greatly mismanaged.
In all probability a nest of swindlers will
now remain screened from justice, to prey
upon the public; and it is considered that Rapallo ought
never to have been admitted Queen's evidence, or have
had the offer until it was clearly ascertained that Mr.
Smith would not plead guilty. There could be no evi-
dence wanting to establish the criminality of the
latter, as he is known not only to have confessed it to
many of the Government employes, but even to have dis-
closed his mode of effecting the forgery, and hence there
is less excuse for allowing Rapallo to become approver.
The matter looks, indeed, very much like a suppression
of unpleasant facts, which might have come out, although
Smith had pleaded guilty, if his accomplice had been put
on his trial.
