The advance which took place yesterday after-
noon in the English Stock Market has been firmly
supported, and the quotations are very buoyant.
A. confident opinion is expressed that the pending
negotiations for peace will be successful, and an
active speculation is in progress for the advance.
The easier condition of the money market,
and the investments made by the public,
also impart additional strength to the market.
Consols for money have been 90i s all the morn-
ing, and for the account from 901 91, the prices
have advanced to 91!. The New 3 per Cents. are
913/4 and the Reduced 90i to 91f. Bank Stock
is per Cent. higher, viz.-209 to 2103/4. Exche-
quer Bills are 4s. discount to par, and India Bonds
are as. discount to par.

Much activity has prevailed in the Foreign, and
the upward movement in.. prices is maintained.
Turkish 6 per Cents. have risen steadily to 914 and
911, and 92, but at the present moment they are
about 911 to 91k. The Small Bonds are quiet at
90, and the New Scrip has been as high as par,
but it has since declined to 8 and discount.
Sardinian Bonds have risen about 1 per cent.,
being 87i to 88. Spanish Bonds are at full
prices, the Three per Cents. being 40i to 41k, the
New Deferred 23 to 234, and the Certificates sg.
Brazilian New Five per Cents. are 1001, Buenos
Ayres 56, Chilian Six per Cents. 104, and the
Greek 61. Mexican Stock is about per cent.
better, namely, 201 to 20k. Peruvian Active
Bonds are 771 to 78, and Pcirtuguese Four per
Cents. are 481. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
are flatter, at 641 to 641.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stooks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i 71; Mexican,
20i ; Peruvian, 76 78 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54
66 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 47 49 ; Russian 5 per

3 per Cents., 40140 i; ditto Deferred, 221 23; ditto

Railway Securities have participated M the
buoyancy of other stocks. Caledonian, Aberdeen,
Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North
Western and Midland are all fully Oi per cent.
higher ; in some oases the advance is even more.
The Foreign undertakings are very inanimate,
but the quotations are nominally without altera-
tion. Great Western of Canada are rather
firmer.

Mining shares rule dull, and very little business
has been done in Joint-stock Binks. Bank of Lon-
don is, however, 1/. to 2/. higher. Canada Land
are steady. Australian Agricultural are very heavy,
the report not being as satisfactory as was expected.
