Two O'CLOCK.

Owing to an extreme degree of quietude the
market for the British Funds is not particularly
buoyant, but it is nevertheless very firm. There
18 a reluctance to speculate, and investors are shy
°wing to an impression that many new and sound
projects will be brought forward after the Midsum-
iller holidays. Consols are lower than they were
at the close of official hours yesterday afternoon,
11°Iv being 941 1 for transfer, and 941 for the
account.
