business to-day than is usual on a Saturday. Consols
are 93 for Money, and 93* for the Account; New
Three-and-a-Halfper Cents., 101*; Bank Stock, 1694--
Money.continues to be very easy, and the difficulty
of employingit appears to be increasing, the first de-
scription of mercantile paper being sought after at as
low a rate as 2 per cent. ; consequently the premium
on Exchequer Bills has further advanced to 53 54 for
the Old, and 51 53 for the New.
The business in Foreign Securities has been limited
to Dutch, and these have given way a shade since the
morning; the Five per Cents. being now 100* 1004 ;
and the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 524.
Mexican Bonds are dull, and the quotation Is again
a trifle below that of yesterday,
