TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Two o'CLocK.

The English Stock Market continues very dull,
but during the earlier hours of business an improve-
ment of per cent. occurred in the Funds. This
advance was, however, only temporary, Consols
having subsequently receded to their former prices,
viz., to 868 87 for money, and 87* for the ac-
count. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities
are 868 87 ; Bank of England Stock, 245 2468 ;
and India, 5 per Cents., 1024 8.
Foreign Stocks are firm, but no change of im-
portance has taken place in prices. Turkish 5 per
Cents. are 39i f ; Mexican, 21* 8 ; ditto New, 184
19* ; Greek, 13* 14* ; Spanish Passive, 254 26 ;
the Certificates, 1311 8 ; Italian, 61/ 62 ; Confede-
rate Loan, 5 7 ; Egyptian Sclip, 4 * prem. ; Brazi-
lian Scrip, I 1 prem. United States 5.20 Bonds,
668 4 ; Erie Shares, 56i ; and Illinois, 75 I /.
A moderate amount of business has been done in
the Railway Share Market, and in several instances
prices are a shade firmer. Midland and South
Eastern have each improved ss. ; London, Chat-
ham, and Dover, 10s. ; and Metropolitan, 15s. ;
while Great Western and Lancashire and York-
shire have each receded 55., and North Western 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines show little
change, with the exception of Grand Trunk of
Canada, which have advanced ss.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been in fair
request, at steady rates. Alliance are dealt in at
274 ; London and County at 804 ; Imperial Otto-
man at 134; Hudson Bay Company at 164 4 ;
National Discount Company at 154 4 ; and

YOUNG DELINQUENTS.— Thomas Miller, aged 10,
and 1r
se;.'"Ary Miller, aged 8, were charged at the Petty
awns, Ilford, on the 19th instant by Mr. C. Matthews
of East Ilam, with pulling down a piece of his fence,
13'value Id. The prosecutor said the children belonged to a
?-131 of most drunken habits, and as they appeared en-
tirely destitute and neglected he had brought them to
the court hi the hope that they would be sent to an in-
tcl,ll,Btrialschool. They were committed for one week, and
_tion ordered to be sent to an industrial establishment.—
Affe Reral4.

The commencement of business in the Discount
Market this morning did not indicate any tendency,
towards a rise or fall in the terms for the.best com-
mercial bills, and affairs are still in a very quiet
condition. There are plentiful supplies at the cur-
rent rates for all mercantile operations based upon
good credit, and these high rates, inducing caution,
prevent extravagant speculation. Owing to the
general idea that rates will recede rather than ad-
vance the daily demand for acccommodation,
though active, is not at all pressing, and the trad-
ing classes are content to bring to the market a
number of securities which, when negotiated, will
enable them to provide for impending liabilities.
Private capitalists are evidently awaiting the
introduction of new projects—the early part of the
year being, as a rule, favourable for the exertions of
the promoters of Joint-Stock enterprise. Several
schemes are already on the tapis, and the experience
of the last year will no doubt add to the discrimina-
tion of those who have means to employ on the
limited liability principle.

No gold operations were reported yesterday at
the Bank ; a few withdrawals, however, are ex-
pected. At the same time there are steady arrivals,
and the Bank of England return to-morrow evening
is expected to show a further improvement in the
resources of the establishment.
