M. Fould, Minister of Finance, has left Tarbes,
after closing the Session of the Council-General of
the Hautes-Pyrenees, and has gone to Eaux-Bonnes
for a fortnight before be returns to Paris.

BOURSE, Sept. 6.—Two o'clock.—At the opening
of the market scarcely any business was transacted,
but after a time the arrival of the telegrams from
London announcing the reduction of the Bank rate
to 5 per cent. and the rise in Consols of I, coupled
with the news from Italy of the reduction of the
army and the resolute determination of the Govern-
ment to adopt a system of rigid economy, had the
effect of producing a certain amount of activity,
especially in Italian Fives, which have not only
maintained the improvement of yesterday, but have
still further advanced. French Threes were done
at 70f. 15c., or a rise of 22fe. ; Italian Fives at 57f.
80c., or If. 20c. higher ; Mobilier at 672 f. 50c., or
an advance of 3f. 75c. ; Paris Gas at 1,605 f., a rise
of sf. ; Credit Foncier at 1,368 f. 75c., or 3f. 75c.
higher ; Comptoir d'Escompte unchanged at 902 f.
50c. A little more business doing in railways.
