MONETARY REPORTS-YESTERDAY.

The stock markets have been free from any important
feature to-day. The business concluded has been very
moderate, and with but few exceptions the fluctuations
in prices have been trifling. The quietness is solely at-
tributable to the' imminence of some great movement on
the Continent, a movement which, if success again
attend Prussian arms, will probably decide the result
of the war now raging. Until such movement be
consummated, any emergence from the quietness now the
characteristic of the markets may be deemed improbable.
At the commencement of business to-day no material
change could be noticed in prices. Spanish were flat on
the news of the Carlist insurrection in the Peninsula, but
they subsequently recovered in value to some extent.
Turkish improved in price on the announcement that no
difficulty would be experienced in obtaining the necessary
funds from Paris to pay the dividends.
