BOURSE, May 13, Two o'clock.—There is no
feature of interest to notice in the markets for stocks
and shares to-day. The announcement by the
illoniteur yesterday that the Conference had been
brought to a satisfactory conclusion had been al-
ready discounted, and although transactions are
only taking place on a limited scale, a few sales for
realisation are sufficient to affect the quotations of
the best class of securities. Three per Cents., which
at the opening were dealt in at 69f. 30c., are now
at 69f. 10c.—still, however, an advance of 17ic. on
Saturday's close. Italian Five per Cents., on the
other hand, have receded 50c.—viz., to 52f. 70c. ;
