The Stock Markets are steadier now than at the
opening, and' though with only a moderate business
doing, the tone is firm and the tendency is apparently
still upwards. The increasing slackness in the Money
nirket stimulates temporary investments, so that
Consols and other leading securities are scarcer.
The
Railway Market is less unsettled, Brighton
having hardened. American rails are, however, flat
and per cent. lower. Li Foreign Stocks Turkish
are a point higher, and some sales of Italiau have
rather reduced the price of this security.
The money market begins the week very inactively,
and with "every prospect of no improvement taking
place just yet. The supplies are very large, and the
rate, U. to / per cent.
The Norfolk and Christina Thompson have arrived
with £167,000 in Australian gold.
Consols are firm at an advance of 1-, at 94i to 95
for money, and 94 to 9M- ex div. for account ; New

to 96f.
English Railway shares are quiet,and the changes in

has taken place in the following lines :—Metropolitan
