There is less business doing in nubile securities this
linrning, and quotations are in consequence a shade
easier. In the Funds there is an ex,::eptional rise of
45 in Exchequer Bills. The announcement concerning
the new Egyptian Loan has had the effect of further
reducing the value of Egyptian Securities, the Vice-
raY'B obligations suffering least. Turkish are without
recovery, and Italian and Spanish are barely so good
as they were. With the exception of Great Luxem-
bourg, home and foreign railways are heavy. Shares
generally are dull.
The discount market is unaltered at 1i to 10 per
cent. In the Stock Exchange, the progress of the
Cunsol settlement has caused no perceptible increase
in the inquiry fur advances, and the market is easy at
1 per cent.

the Viceroy's 9 per Cents., to 87. The Viceroy's 7

523 L' Turkish, 371 to 372 ; Brazilian, 77f to 77i

106 to 10q ; South Eastern k, at 751 to 764 ; and

tions : Agra (A)., 101- to 101 ; Alliance, 13 to 12 dis.;
