We have no later shipping advices this morning.
There is a better business doing in the Colonial and
general produce markets, and as the quarter is turned,
parties enter more freely into new engagements. We
may notice also a very firm market for timber. The
autumn North American fur sales have gone off well,
except that Bearer has declined. Wool sells steady at
the public sales, though, perhaps, scarcely so brisk as at
the last series. Cotton is rather dull.
The Funds have rallied again to-day, and there has
been rather more doing in time bargains, still, however,
the dealings are by no means extensive. Consols for
Money have touched 1001 and 1001, and for Time,
1001 to The Government broker has purchased at
1001. Exchequer Bills are 745. to 765. premium ; Bank
Stock for Account has been as high as 211 ; and East
India Stock has been at 2881.
The Foreign investments are generally tolerably firm.
Spanish Five per Cents. realise 241 ; and the Three per
Cents., 3544. Portuguese Converted, owing to the tobacco
arid other contracts being taken on higher terms, have'im-
proved from 481 to 49 and 50. Mexican Stock is firm,
at 35* to 35g. Colombian Bonds are 141- 1, and Chilian
53. Belgian Stock realises 1034 to 104. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are 624 to 621.
Business in the Share Market continues to be con-
ducted on a comparatively narrow scale, but the quota-
tions are in most instances firm, and, when the dividends
are paid, a livelier demand in anticipated.
