made by the financial authorities to extend as far
as practicable the desired facilities The condition

day at the Sub-Treasury. The amount Of interest
due in these is $1O on the registered bonds
ST. 925 993. Total, $13, ,403, 929 The sum dsbursed
was not large, and it was in some measure owing
to the nsulliciency OF the announcement but
probably large proportion Of the bondholders
prefer to await until the maturity Of the coupons
rather than sacrifice interest at the rate OF 6 per
cent gold between now and November. The

THE FOREIGN MARKET.
London advices to-day were regarded with more
than usual interest, inasmuch as they report the
extension OF the disturbance on this side Of the
water to that market Three failures among
brokers in the London Stock Exchange have oc-
CURED thus lar as consequence OF the decline in
Erie. The Bank of England lost to-day the further
sum of f63s, ,O0O f124,O was withdrawn for ship
ment to America and the balance for Germany.
This, doubtless led to sudden meeting OF the
directors, and an advance OF the rate OF discount
to per cent-an act which caused considerable
surprise to all who had seen the posted announce
ment at noon that no change would be made. Up
to this time American securities were dull an
heavy, but afterwards they became more buoyant
and active. Erie, which opened at 41'I 41H sold
at the close at 42zs 42St. COnsols for money and
account are quoted at 92'S, old bonds Of
1865 at 94A, OF 1867 at 94al and
new fves at 9Osi. The advance is
caused by the covering OF short sales to meet the
requirements of the occasion-this being settling
day. The demand for discount Tor three months
bills, as well in open market, has been heavy at
five per cent. The rate for money at the Stock
Exchange ON government securities is three per
cent Rentes in Paris were $685.. Amsterdam
shows the following strong quotations: Central
Pacific first mortgage, sly; Union Pacific first
mortgage, 65; Union Pacific shares II; North
western preferred, 65; St. Paul preferred, 551S;
Erie AS American securities steadier.
