MONETARY REPORTS.-SATURDAY

Influenced by the decisive news received to-day an-
nouncing the surrender of the Emperor, and the capitula-
tion of Marshal MacMahon's army, the stock markets
have been very firm to-day, and an important improve-
ment has taken place in prices. In most quarters the
opinion is now entertained that the war is virtually at a
close ; but at the same time considerable apprehension
is felt as to the manner in which the population of the
large towns in France will receive the first
ntimation of the defeat which their armies
have sustained at the hands of the Prussians.
On the whole, however, the situation is not
unfavourably regarded, and it is fervently to be hoped
that the terms impc sed by Prussia will not be too humiliat-
ing to jeopardise the promotion of a lasting peace. The
improvement has not been confined to any particular class
of security to day, the advance being general. Railways
and foreign bonds haVe each risen to the extent of fully 1
per cent. on the average. Home securities also have been
very firm. Consols have advanced per cent., or from
92'4 to 92! ; Reduced and New Three per Cents., 90a to
