LONDON, July 25-The conviction that up to this
afternoon no news has been received from India,
and consequently that all the recent reports have
thus far been totally without foundation. has been
followed by a diminution of excitement in the
Stock markets. Prices rally, although the first
transactions were at an advance of x.
Although the animation throughout the day was
mainly attributable to the anxiety regarding India,
an increased demand in the discount market, where
there was pressure compiled with slight withdraw
ais Of bullion from the banks; and the favorable
appearance Of foreign exchange contributes to the
general dizziness. About $4,000 in gold bars was
taken from banks, for the purchase of silver on the
continent.
These Withdrawals are thought likely to continue,
unless some Australian Californian arrivals soon
take place. Notwithstanding the recent further
reduction in their stock of bullion, the Bank of
France have lowered their rate for advances on
stocks and shares from & to So per cent. The lat
ter fixed az the discount rate a month back,
but the Bourse excluded from the benefit of
thu alteration.
