The general report which prevailed yesterday, that Government
were going to give £ll9 10s. Consols for £lOO Four per Cents. does
not gain credit, u the above plan would create too gear a quantity
of new Stock. We have no arrivals this morning of the least
portance, in consequence of which the funds are rather languid
at present, and Consols opened at the same price they left off yes.
terday, 021 for the Account, and 921 Buyers for money, at which
price they remain steady up to the present hour. We have not a
feature in the Foreign Market as yet worth noticing, and the prices
are much the same as yesterday.
