Two O'CLOCK.

The markets opened with a gloomy appearance,
and they are now flat. Disturbing rumours
are prevailing as to the continuance of peace on
the Continent ; and a depression is to some ex-
tent caused by the alarms perpetually kept up
by Fenianism. There is not, however, any
particular pressure of sales. The position is
one of a simple declension in price. The Foreign
Market is heavy all round, at a reduction of I to I
per cent. in all the speculative stocks. In the Rail-
way Market the settlement closing this day is ex-
ceedingly heavy, and there are large differences to
pay. In several cases stocks are better, but there
is no tendency to general improvement.
Foreign Stocks are flat. There is a fresh decline
of in Turkish (1865), at 321 to 32j, and in Pas-
sives at 251 to 251 ; of i in New Threes, at 351 to
to 351, and in Italian (1861), at 441 to 441 ; and of
iin Mexican, at 15 to 15k. Greek are 12 to 12k.
Portuguese Scrip is heavy, at -I to it prem, and the
old stock 39 to 39i.

have declined per cent, at 92 to 92/ for both
money and account. New and Reduced Three per
Cents. are lower, the quotations being 91j to 92.
India Five per Cents. are lower, at 1101 to 1111.
Exchequer Bills, 255. to 28s. prem.
The New Honduras Loan has receded to 1 11
prem.

The settlement continues to keep the Railway
Market from a further relapse. Great Northern are
1 lower ; Great Northern (A) and Sheffield, ; and
Great Western and Great Eastern, * ; Lancashire and
Yorkshire are 1 lower ; and Midland and London
and North Western, 5. The quotations are : Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, 121 to 1215 ; Midland, 102
to 1025 ; South Eastern, 66} to 66; ; London and
North Western, 113 to 1135 ; Great Northern,

31 to 315 ; Great Western, 44 to 445 ; Brighton,
485 to 49 ; Sheffield, 414 to 451 ; Metropolitan, 1144
to 115; ; and Caledonian, 70 to 71.
The increased demand for discount, which set in
immediately after Christmas, continues unabated,
and the rate for the best bills is 1* to 2 per cent.
with less money on offer.
The Lincolnshire has arrived from Melbourne
with £336,000 in Australian gold.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
are steady at 20 to 22, and the Consolidated Mort-
gage Bonds at 18 to 19.

and Westminster, 68 to 69 ; London and County,
54 to 55 ; London Joint Stock, 345 to 355 ; Al-
liance, 115 to 105 dis. ; and Imperial, 175 to 185.
Indian and Canadian Railway Stocks are fiat.
Great Indian, 106 to 107 ex div. ; East Indian,
1035 to 1095 ex div. ; and Grand Trunk, 151
