The letters and papers by the Arctic steamer have not yet
been delivered, but from the outline of the news, per tele-
graph, it would appear that the cotton and corn markets
were dull, and that the exchange was well supported.
The let ere and full details by the overt and msil from India
have been delivered, and their contents, in a comme:cnd
sense, are the most unfavoutable that have come to
hand for a long time past. The scarcity of money,
which had produced such a serious decline in the
value of Government and other securities, whether
stocks or shares, was attributable it would seem to excessive
speculation in opium and cotton. The intelligence from
China being unfavourable for opium, which had fallen in
price, was in part the cause of the suspension of payments
by some of the Parsees; and it is stated further that the de-
mand for goods in the North-Western provinces was duller
than usual, aed consequently that fewer orders had been
sent to Calcutta. Nevertheless the conclusion arrived at is
that the trade of the great cities in the northern part of
India would speedily revive.
Accounts from the Amsterdam Bourse state that business
bad been restricted in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
which were 57% to 9-16. Spanish Bonds were very ani-
mated, bit rather in favour of buyers.
The English Stock Market has been very dull, but
steady as regards prices. Consols have been quoted
96% % for Transfer, and 96% lh for Account.
The intentions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
with respect to the Budget are surmised from
the statements already made public, and as they
comprise reduction on the ore hand and new taxation on
the other, they are considered to be of a rather
negative character. At the same time fundholders,
who look to the prices of stocks rather than to
anything else, are well pleased that efforts are to be
made to keep up a good sinking fund, not always bearing
in mind that the promotion of the contentment and pros-
perity of the masses is the surest course to obtain and pre-
serve a surplus revenue. Neither will the agriculturists be
likely to be satisfied in the long run by any other proceeding.

and 984. Bank Stock is 215 to South Sea Stock 107 i.
Exchequer. bills have been reduced to 555. and 50s. premium.
Money is scarcer.

The Foreign Securities have been very quiet again.
Spanish Five per Cents. are at 20, and the Passive Bonds
have been marked 4% to 5. Peruvian Deferred have been
marked 33%. Mexican Bonds hive been quoted 33%, and
Buenos Ayres 55 to 55%. Brazilian Old Stock is worth 92.
Grenada Coupons are at 54. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been 581,, and Russian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. 97% %.
The Railway Share Market has been anima!ed again, and
the quotations are higher for Eastern Counties, Aberdeen,
Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock; Lancashire and York-
shire, East Lancashire, Great Northern, Brighton, North-
Western, Midland, and most of the other lines. The Foreign
Shares are steady.
