MONETARY REPORTS.-YESTERDAY.

The attendance of members at the Stock Exchange to-
day was limited, and attention was principally directed
to the fortnightly settlement, which commenced to-clay,
and will be eompleted on Friday next. There is
scarcely a movement in prices worth recording, Turkish
stocks being the only securities which had undergone any
change. The Five per Cents closed rather flatter at 43,1,
44. Consols remained stationary, little importance being
attached to the fact of the British boats having
been fired upon in the Seine, the general
opinion being that the affair will be satisfactorily
explained. In the Railway Share market the frequently
recurring accidents have naturally tended to depress price-3,
several leading companies being threatened with heavy
expenditure for compensation and probably for litigation.
On the other hand, the traffic receipts are well kept up, a
large increase having taken place in several instances,
which would allow of the distribution of increased
dividends. Consols are quoted at 91!-: to 91/, both
for money and account ; Reduced and New Three per
Cents, 91g, 912; Exchequer Bills, 10s. to 15s. prem.
Metropolitan Three and a Half per Cents, 93, 931; Bank
Stock, 231, 233; India Five per Cents, 110, 1101 f India
Four per Cents, 1001 to 1011 ; and India Bonds, 225. to
275. prem.
The dealings in the foreign bond market have been
limited in number and extent, and have been chiefly made
in connection with the settlements. Prices, on the whole,
have shewn weakness, though the changes have,
in no case, been important. Egyptian of (1868),
Spanish and Turkish Five per Cents., are 1 to
lower ; but the Japanese Loan has advanced 1 per
cent. ; Brazilian of (1865) have sold at 92 ;
Danubian (1867), 92 ; Egyptian (1868), 771, R, ; Hondu-
ras, 871; Japanese, 1021; Peruvian (1863), 931, 1. Por-
tuguese (1867), 32g, g ; Russian Nicolai, 661, ; ditto
(1870),8 4,7 ; Spanish (1867), 31. 311 ; ditto 1869, 31, 311;
Turkish (1854), 791; ditto (1865), 431, 44 ; ditto Six per
Cents. (1863), 621; ditto (1869), ' 50, 501. Italian (1861),
55k, I. _ _ .

No change has taken place in the value of American
Government securities, which are quoted at 88a, 881 for
Five-Twenties of the 1862 issue, and 88, 88-i for the 1865
issue. Ten-Forty Bonds remain at 87k. 87k. States
Bonds are unaltered in price.

The market for home railway stocks has shewn flatness,
sales having been effected to close accounts.
Joint stock bank shares have met with very little in-
quiry, and the quotations are nominal.
In Telegraph shares there has been little doing. Anglo-
American have been sold at 76k, 6 ; British Indian Sub-
marine, 6,13-16th ; Falmouth and Gibraltar, 9i, 9.
