Very little business has been transacted in public
securities to-day. The few dealings recorded, how-
ever, are of a favourable character,. and strengthen
the quotations, although the variation is unim-
portant. Consols are 981 for money, and 981 1
for the account: It is expected that the exchanges
and the Bank Return this evening will present an
improving tendency, and the market is firm in
consequence. Bank Stock is •225. The New Threes
are marked 961 97, and the Reduced Annuities
961 ; ; the New 21 per Cents., 821. India Stock
remains steady at 2261 ; but the Debentures are
flat at 99; 3. Exchequer Bills, June, are 295. to
325. prem. ; and the Bonds 1001.
The transactions recorded in, the Foreign Stock
Market are rather limited, and prices in some in-
stances exhibit *a slight improvement. Turkish
6 per Cents. are 921 93 ; ditto Scrip, Ist issue,l dis.
to par ; and ditto, 2d issue, 1 to 1 prem., being
flatter., Brazilian 43 per Cents. (1858) are 971 98 ;
Equador, 16 ; Peruvian 43 per Cents., 921; ditto
Uribarren, 88 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 74 ; Sardinian,
941 4; Spanish 3 per Cents., 473 e ; ditto De-
ferred, 30; 31 ; Belgian 43 per Cents., 991; Dutch
2i per Cents., 661 • and ditto 4 per Cents., 1003.

Business in the Railway Share Market has not
only been active, but prices have exhibited more
buoyancy—several of the principal lines showing
an improvement of about to per cent. Eastern
Counties, Great Northern, North-Western, and
South-Eastern have advanced about ss. ; Caledo-
nian, 10s. to 15s ; Lancashire and Yorkshire,
Brighton, Midland, and several others were
steady at yesterday's quotations. In the
Foreign Market no business of any import-
ance is recorded. Pernambuco improved about
68., and Great Luxembourg brought former
rates. The Colonial undertakings were dull.
East Indian improved about 55., and Grand Trunk
of Canada 10s. ; Great Indian Peninsular were a
shade flatter.

Joint Stock bank shares show little variation.
London and Westminster have improved 55.; and
City Bank, 58.

dealt in at 113 ; Electric Telegraph at 114 to 115 ;
and National Discount Company at 41 to 41.
