BOURSE THREE O'CLOCK.—At Tortoni's the jobbers had
carried the price of the Rentes, Three per Cents. to 80f. 10c.,
buyers : but, from the opening of the Bourse, several brokers
endeavoured to sell, so that the first price was 80f. ; they
rallied, however, to 80f. 5c., but have since gradually declined
to 79f. 80c., with scarcely, any fluctuation. The realizing of
profits on previous transactions is said to be the cause of this
reaction.
The Spanish buyers bad overreached their strength yester-
day, and in trying to realize to-day they occasioned a fall of
about 1 per cent.
