The return of the Bank of England to Oct.. 26 does
not show any important fluctuation. The circulation
has been reduced to the extent of 186,1801., being now
27,545,7301., and in the banking department there has
been a slight increase in the Rest, viz, 3,354/. The
public deposits are again less, having been reduced from
3,965,196/. to 3,556,646/ There is an increase in the
bullion to the banking department of 629,474/.
The letters received from Brussels and Antwerp this
morning state that the application for allotments of the
New Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents., contracted by
the Messrs. Rothschild, very far exceeded the amount
that was in the hands of the agents of the contractors
for distribution.
A strong desire was shown to hold this stock, as it is
not by any means improbable that ere long the Govern-
ment of Leopold will do, as our Finance Minister has
done here, reduce the interest on the Five per Cents.
It would appear that there is every prospect that some
of the more material terms of the contract, as remitted
from Rome to Madrid, f..ir the marriage of the Queen
of Spain to the son of Don Carlos, will be vetoed by the
Chambers=more especially those which would place on
the debt an immense amount of expenditure incurred by
the Carlist revolution and the value of church property
sold. That the marriage will take place, however, there
appears no doubt, if the most accurate accounts from the
Spanish capital are worthy of full credit.
Consols opened rather flatly, to -day, but this has been so
broken a week that the attendance in the market is very
limited, and, therefore, affords no criterion. The quo-
tations are 991 to par for Money, and par to 100* for

and some fluctuation has occurred, The old lines have
advanced in some instances, but there are also a few
cases of decline.
