been favourable for the inspection of samples, and
business has been particularly flat.
The Stock Exchange Markets to-day are closing
with a very sluggish appearance, and it is rather re-
markable that with the quietude now experienced
that values have been so well sustained. There is,
in fact, a hardening tendency, and investments
seem to be supporting the present range of quota-
tions. Consols are 891 for money, and for the
Bth of November 891 1, showing a rise of 1 per cent.

the New Threes and Reduced Annuities, but there
have been numerous dealings, especially in the
former. Indian 5 per Cents. have also changed
hands to a large extent.

average advance of 1 per cent. in the principal spe-

remittances are coming forward to pay the overdue
coupons. The old bonds have improved per cent.,
to 151 16, and the new to 191 ; Greek are 1 higher,
131 ; Turkish 5 per Cents., it, at 281 ; Italian are

A merican securities continue buoyant, owing to

NORWICH MUSICAL FESTlVAL.—Yesterday a
meeting of the clergy of the diocese of Norwich was
held, under the auspices of the bishop, for the purpose of
considering an address which it is proposed to present to
their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales,
on the occasion of their' approaching visit to Norwich
during this festival. The prince and Princess' will not be
present at the concerts on the Monday and Tuesday even-
ings, but they will attend the morning performance on the
Wednesday, and probably also some of ,the other concerts.
The Royal visitors will also attend the ball on the Friday
evening. The festival promises to bo a pecuniary success
—the amount received up to yesterday from the sale of
tickets being upwards of £3,000. This must be considered
a highly satisfactory result, as the sale will continue, of
course, during the ensuing ten days.
