We have no arrivals to-day.
There has not been much business done in Stocks to-day,
and they continue a little flat. Consols for present transfer
have been marked 99 to 983/4, and for time 99 to %. Ex-
chequer-bills have been 58s. to 60s. prem. New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 1003/4 to 101, and the
Three per Cents. 97% to 971/2. Bank Stock has been
2091j2 to 2101,4. Thero have been a few sales pressed
both in Reduced Three per Cents. and Consols.
The same apathy exists in the Foreign Market, though
the quotations in a few instances are somewhat firmer.
Spanish Bonds have not been officially marked all the morn-
ing. Mexican have been supported at 37% 1/4. Colombian
have been 153/4. Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. have
been marked 6314 to 1/2, which is a slight improvement.
With one or two exceptions, Railway Shares continue de-
pressed. Churnet Valley have rallied a little, having been
up to 71A. Caledonian have been 10% to 1114. Direct
orthern are rather weak. Aberdeen, after being down to
3%, have rallied to 41A. Bristol and Gloucester have re-
ceded to_.' 571/2 and 55. Westend and Southern Counties
Junction have improved to % 1/2 premium, owing to
the non-compliance of the South Eastern with the standing
orders. The French lines are still weak, but occarionaliy the

"scrips," or promises, as the Parisians term them, are picked
up at small premiums by parties' inclined to await the adjudi-
cation ; and before this takes place, there will probably be a re-
vival of speculation in them, so uncertain is it which Company
will prove successful. Of course the profit on the fortunate
line, judging by the prices of those already constituted by
Act of the French Legislature will be of sonic amount.
