(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The market remains in the same stagnant condition, with the
indisposii ion to enter into business which which has bi-en vi-
sible now for many days. The prices, however, are firm, and
Consols 91i 911 for th© opening ex divide,:d ; Three per
Cents. Reduced, 91/ 9la; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Re-
duced, 100/ 1001 India Stock, 23 ; Exchequer Bills, Oid, 43
47; New, 40 42 premium.
In Foreign Securities the price for Belgian is quoted 102
103 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cent., 52i 52.1 ; the Five
per Cents., 101 1011 ; Danish, 801 811 ; Brazilian, 66 67.
The quotation for Mexican is 36} 54.
The Share Market hasbcen very flat, and sales to some ex-
tent have been made in Edinburgh and Glasgow, 47%; Grand
Junction, 190 ; Great Western, 88 ; South Western, 611,E ;
Sisuth Eastern, 25/1; Blackwall, 10A ; Brighton, 361; Mid-
land Counties, Quarters, 17.

The prospect of a dividend has caused the speculators in
Spanish Bonds to operate for a rise, and accordingly they are
now quoted at 233 for the Three per Cents., and 21i for the
Five per Cents. The other bonds noticed to-day are Colombian,
25i, and Portuguese Five per Cents., 37k.
A proclamation has been posted in the city this morning, an-
notmeing the issue of half-farthings, which are to be a legal
tender to the extent of six-penny-worth. It is difficult to per-
ceive the particular object this small money is to answer,
though it doubtless will be a relief to the poorer class, whe at
prsent lose much by fractions in purchasing small quantities of
articles.

A better feeling in the pi oduce market is now visible in con-
sequence of the final completion of the tariff. The duties upon
many articles are still considered to he very objectionable, and
to require alteration, but the measure as a whole is generally
looked upon as satisfactory, and now that all uncertainty is
ended it is expected that trade will revive. The concessions
made to the manufacturing interest by the reductions on the
raw material will prove of great benefit to them, and especially
on those articles, such as dyes, &c., which so largely enter
into their consumption. Some large parcels of Gums have
since been brought forward, and the good effect of the altera-
tion was plainly perceptible, as well as on many other goods of
a similar nature. The present year, however, may be re-
garded as a bad one, owing to the great stagnation which ex-
isted during the first six months, it not being to be expected
that during the period which is to come it will be s.ufEciently
brisk to counterbalance the loss already sustained.
