MONETARY REPORTS.-SATURDAY.

Notwithstanding that the gravity of the situation,
judging from the tenour of the latest telegrams, has by no
means diminished, the tone of. the Stock Exchange to-day
has been decidedly firmer, and a general frac-
tional recovery has taken place in values. This,
however, is perhaps almost entirely due to the
closing of heavy sales in the leading speculation
stocks, and not to the belief that an amicabe arrangement
of the Eastern Question will be speedily arrived
at. In the market for English railway stocks there has
been an average recovery of fully I per cent., but for‘ign
bonds rarely shew an advance of more than 1 per cent.
For home securities
-there has been an improved inquiry,
and the valne of Consols has risen / per cent., the quota-
tion for money and the account being 921, 921, and Re-
duced and New Three per Cents., 901 90a. Bank Stock,
231, 233. Exchequer Bills, 7s. to 12s. prem. India Eva
per Cents., 1101, MI, and India Bonds, 225. to 275.
