MONETARY REP ORA S-SATURDAY

With the exception of a strong market for English
railways, the Stock Exchange to-day has been very quiet.
For foreign secnrities the demand • has" been • only to a
moderate extent, and English Government Securities have
been in limited request. Consols have been dull; and
easier at 941, 941, for delivery, and the .Ist of
June, and 94i to 94i for July. Reduced and New Three
per cents., 92k, 92g. Bank stock has marked 234, 236.

255. prem.

For English railway stocks, there has been a healthy
inquiry. All discriptions have been in request, and a
general advance has been sustained. Caledonian has
risen ; Great-Northern A, ; Lancashire and York-
shire. 1; London and North-Western, i; Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, ; Midland, ; North-
Eastern, ; and South-Eastern,
For Indian Railway Stocks there has been a moderate
inquiry, at steady currencies. Canadian shares have
been quiet, and the demand for foreign has been inactive.
The market for foreign bonds has been devoid of any
important feature. Italian (1861) have been firm, and
per cent. better, but Egyptian • and Spanish have fallen

and Peruvian (1865) per cent.
In American securities the transactions have been on a

limited scale. The Five-Twenty and Ten-Forty Bonds
have maintained previous quotations, and. Atlantic and
Great Western Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have been
ts better.

Egyptian and Imperial Ottoman have risen and London
of Mexico and South America, A.

has taken place in Anglo-Mediterranean, British Indian,
Submarine, and French cables.

in specie.

Paris advices state that the Italian Minister of Finance
has obtained from Messrs. Stirn and the Banque de Paris
a promise of an advance, and that an agent has been sent
to Florence to settle the details of the negotiation. The
amount of the loan is between £2,400,000 and £3,200,000.

Notwithstanding the protest of the Porte, the new
Egyptian Loan has received an official quotation on the
Paris Bourse. Very few bona fide transactions, however,
have taken place in it, and it is still at a discount.
The Board of Trade tables, just issued for the month of
April, bear favourable testimony to the extension of trade,
the exports shewing an increase of over 21,700,000 compared
with the corresponding period last year the enhancement
being most marked in the shipments of cotton manufac-
tures and railway iron. The exports during the month
