Tho market for English Securities is very feeble,
and a further decline of 4to per cent. has oc-
curred. Speculative sales have been made to a
large extent, and the apprehension lest the mini-
mum rate of discount is raised to 7 per cent., de-
presses the market. Arrangements are now in
progress for the settlement of the account, which
likewise affect it, for, as there is no prospect of
a rise in prices, most parties will be induced
to close their engagements rather than carry them
over. The rate of " contango" is therefore not
so heavy as of late. Consols for transfer have been
93} and 93k ; for the sth inst. 93i, 93t ; and
for March 93/ The New Three per Cents. are
officially quoted 93i 94, and the Reduced 93i /.
Exchequer Bills are lower, owing to the increased
pressure for money, the quotation being 3s. dis-
count to par ; the Bonds were 99. Bank Stock is
216 to 2174, and Tudia Stock 219.

The few transactions recorded in Foreign Stocks
were mostly at reduced quotations. Turkish 6
per Cents. have been dealt in at 94i I, and the
present value is 94 to 941. Russian 41 per Cents.
are 96; Mexican, 214 ; Grenada New Active, 24;
and Russian 6i per Cents., 96. Venezuela have
risen to 364, and Dutch 4 per Cents. are 97/ 98.
