Foreign Markets.
LONDON, January 2l-The feature of the
stock market during the present week has
been it's extreme dullness. There has been
no activity any day and no shares tiuctu-
ated sufficiently to command universal
attention, except Mexican and Argentine
Mexican declined to the lowest point ever
known in consequence of the Mexican Con-
gress adjourning without taking action re-
garding the foreign debt. Argentine has
materially improved on account of the
reassuring aJvices concerning the condition
of that country's securities, which are up
held by the home demand and continue
very steady.
Bank returns have been again very favor
able and foreign exchanges show sufficient
recovery to export operations. There has
been little demand for discount, but the
rate is steady at ga, with exceptional
transactions at 4.
The circular of the Liverpool Cotton
Brokers' Association says:
The demand for cotton is decidedly in
creased, still the supply continues very
abundant and prices have again yielded,
the quotations being generally reduced and
the market closes heavily. American is
still offered very freely, and decline con-
sequently ensued of about lsd y pound.
In some instances forced sales we're made
at q greater reduction. Brazil is y a Ad
lower, Egyptian Nd and Peruvian Is o lad.
Transactions in futures continue limited.
After frequent fluctuations. the quotations
are about u d below those of last Ihursday.
