MONETARY REXORTS.-YESTERDAY.

There has been little doing in the Stock markets to-day,
this being the first carrying over day, in preparation for
the settlement. The account is not a heavy one, trans-
actions having been restricted during the past fortnight,
in consequence of the uncertainty attending the German
demands, and the probable consequences resulting from
them. In some stocks a slight fall has taken place, some
considerable saleshaving been effected by largebanking and
financial houses in view of the increased demand for
money, in connection with the New French and other
loans. Consols left off at a decline
.of 1, the last price
being 91k, 92, both for money and account ; Reduced and
New Three per Cents. were 921, 921; Bank Stock, 244,
246; India Stock, 205, 207 ; India Five per Cents., 110,
110 A : India Bonds, 225. to 275. prem. ; Exchequer Bills,
Bs. to 13s. prem.

out the day.
The dealings in home railway stock have been restricted,
and have been confined for the most part to transactions

mand. The 1862 issue closed at 902 to 91 ; and the 1865
at 901 to 90a. Ten Forty Bonds left off at 891 to 891.
