MONEY and COMVIERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
Still we have to record the prevalence of the
most extreme inanition in the Public Securities, the
brokers generally, indeed, making sad complaints of the
little business they have at present to transact on behalf
of their clients. There is, however, one cause which
ought not to be overlooked, contributing materially as it
does to the dullness, viz., the closing of the transfer books
for various Stocks which are favourite sources of invest-
ment with the public at large. For immediate transfer
Consols were to-day marked 894 to +' and for the 14th
of next month, 894 to 90. Exchequer Bills were I Is. to
13s. premium. East India Bonds were not dealt in.
The New Three-and a-Half per Cents. were at 98+ to 4.
The market for Foreign Stocks continues to exhibit
symptoms of a downward tendency. The news from
Madrid is nevertheless of rather favourable character.
The Active Bonds only brought 21l to s ; the Passive,
5 ; Brazil Stock realised 67+ ; the French Five per Cent.
Rentes were at 114 50 ex. dividend, and Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. realized 51i to 141.
The Share Market is not dull at present, for sales are
daily effected even if it be at a turn in favour of the
buyers, many parties having more pressing employment
for their money. Great Western were to• day marked
12 -; the New 3i to ; the Fifths, 3i- to ; the York and
North Midland, 25 ; the Gosport Junction, I ; and the
South Western, 111 to 11 premium. Brighton were 44
to 34 ; Blackwall fell to 15 ; 'Manchester and Leeds

etIiiDETT AND Tng FUNDHOLDERS
If
I Were a fundholder I should hear with no very pleasant
feelings these voluntary and vehement protestations
figaingt ttilleiiiii# the hiterest of the debt. Ido not like
to hear the thing called sitercd, Awl to hear the touching
of ft clla!'d bench of faith ; or, rather, I do like to
ill.i, MR; ftfi 1 err rate it indicates a great deal of
ttiniAng about the ifigtter/ When your wife, without
anything seeming to call f*r it, flings her arms about
your neck and makes vehement protestations of fidelity,
i., is time for you to l°4ok sharp. What a wise man will do
ig such a case it is not very easy to describe with great mi-
nuteness. The cases differ ; but, generally speaking, a
sharp-sighted husband will, by such unaccountable
blandishments and marks of everlasting affection, be in-
duccd to prepare to cut and run ; and, without irreve-
rence I hope, be it spoken, this is what I should do, if
1 I were a fundholder hearing these uncalled-for protesta-
tions."—Cobbett's I?egister, vol. 38, page 763.
