NOT.',TEY MARKET

---m----

CITY', Two O'CLOCK.

The attractions of the great boat race have
greatly thinned the attendance on the Stock Ex-
change, and business is more than usually quiet in
consequence. The result of the division in the
House of Commons has not bad the slightest effect
upon prices.

The Discount Market remains essentially in the
same position as for some days past. A fair de-
mand is prevailing pending the dispersion of the
dividends, and rates for first-class continue at to
2 per cent.

There is no change whatever in Consols. They
are quiet, at 921 to 93* for money, and 93 to 93*
for account; New and Reduced 3 per Cents., 9111-
to 911 ; Exchequer Bills, 7s. to 12s. prem. ; India
5 per Cents., 113,1 to 1141 ; and the Rupee Paper,
1031 to 1014.
The Foreign Stock Market is steady, but in the
absence of business there is no change in prices.
