There has been 'another royal Dutch decree, dated the 27th
inst., received by Messrs. Raphael and Sons. From this we
glean that the remaining 300 series of Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. are to be drawn at the Hague to-day. The first
70 series drawn, and amounting to 14,000,000 guilders, are
to be paid off on the the 15th of next month with interest
to date. Notice will be given when the remainder can be
paid.

There is very little doing in the public securities, which
continued somewhat flat, owing to the sales for time. Con-
sols for Money have been 99% %, and for Account 99% •%.
The Texas question and the state of matters in Switzerland
is the ground upon which the speculators for a fall seem
disposed to operate. The premium on Exchequer.bills has
been 575. to 595., and on India Bonds 695.

The Foreign Bonds are dull, except in one or two instances.
Mexican have been flat, at 351/ % for the Active, and 161,4
% for the Deferred. Colombian are firm at 151% to IA LSpa-
nish Five per Cents. obtain 30, and the Three per Cents.
403/, being for the former rather lower rates. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 631/8. The settlement
of the account progresses easily.
In Railway Shares there is a good deal of business doing,
and prices in many instances are bettor.
