MONETARY REPORTS.-YESTERDAY.

Steadiness was again the characteristic of the stock
markets, and with but few exceptions the move-
eats in • prices have been favourable, although
in no case have they been of an important
nature. English railway stocks, saving a slight fall
in Great Northern A, have maintained the late advance,
Metropolitan and Great Western being dealt in at a
further fractional improvement. The foreign' bond
market also has been steady, and although not
closing at its best, Egyptian, Spanish, and
Turkish, have again risen in value. As regards
home securities, the market has been firm. Consols have
been quoted at 911, 92 ex div. for delivery, and 92, 921
