All the markets of the Stock Exchange are buoy-
ant, although the Bank directors have not reduced
the minimum rate of interest and discount. The
Policy of the Court, however, has been productive
of little, if any, surprise, owing to the peculiar situa-
tion of monetary affairs. At the present moment there
is a considerable amelioration and much activity.
The improvement is mainly due to the rumour that
the Continental war is virtually at an end ; in fact, it is
already stated that an armistice has been proclaimed.
The British Funds have risen to per cent., and
Italian Stock is 11 per cent. higher than it was yes-
terday afternoon. These movements are very sig-
nificant, and it is only to be hoped that they have
been established on a truthful basis—peace. Con-
sols are 87j f for money and the 13th inst., and
874 for August. The New Threes and Reduced
Annuities have been dealt in at 868 -3-; Exchequer
Bills, at 3s. dis. to ss. prem. ; Bank Stock, at 244 ;
India Stock, at 207 f ; and ditto 5 per Cents.,
103 f 3.
Great activity has prevailed in the Foreign Stock
Market, and prices are, in almost every instance,
higher. Turkish 5 per Cents. have risen 3 per
cent. to 31 f ; Italian, 11 to 57 ; Spanish Passive,
14 to 104 ; Certificates, 4 to 151 4 ; Mexican, 4 to
144 15 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 4 to 38 3 dis.
-United States 5-20 Bonds have advanced 28 to
678 688 ; Erie Shares, lf to 38} 39i ; and Illinois,
3 to 77 78.
