The continued improvement in Bank Stock, is a
•,subject of much speculation in the City amen-t ea-.
• -pitalists and others. There have been purchases made
this morning at 171, a rise of not less than six per
cent. within a week or ten days. The report is
that the Directors are to give their strenuous support
to the conversion scheme (Three•and-a-Half per
~.„'cents. to be reduced to Three per Cents.), and that as
' a sop in the pan, the charter is to be renewed with but
?• , .
slight modifications. That something is in the wind
•• - • cannot be doubted, or why should, it is asked, the
Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank be such
• • frequent visitors to. the Chancellor as they have
of late. Bank' Stock after reaching 171 this
morning have receded to 170, the present value. As
respects Three per Cent. Consols, the high prices of
yesterday were pretty well sustained, 94 to 94i-
. having been the ruling prices of this morning. Money
Stock Is in demand, if we except theThree-and-a-Half

Three per Cents. Reduced Annuities had reached 93.1;
Long Annuities were at 12t. • Exchequer Bills have
risen to 61s. premum ; but India Bonds have fallen.
The brokers for the Savings Banks Commissioners
• Made another purchase this morning of the Three
per*Cents., amounting in all to rather under 10,0001.
• The speculative demand for Mexican Stock has
been very good to-day, and purchases have been
made in it at the advanced prices of 331, though
the market is now per cent. lower. Colom-
bianßonds have also risen a little, the price now

Very little alteration can be noticed in the Railway
