The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1878-06-24

LONDON, June 22.-The Economist says
| that the rate of discount for three-months'
bills and short loans continues hardening,
the best bills not being taken below two
per cent. The quietude and uncertainty OF
the stock market this week is in striking
contrast with the excitement and wide fluc
tuations OF the two previous weeks. The
uncertainty about the result of the Berlin
congress and some other adverse rumors
are the principal causes, though tighter
money market here and at Paris has helped
to check speculation. The changes, with
one or two exceptions, have been in a
downward direction. The markets for
United States Governments and railway
securities have been, on the whole, we'll
supported, though Atlantic and Great
Western and Erie mortgages are eXcep-
tiops.
MINCING-LANE MARKETS.
LONDON, June 22.-There is no new fea-
ture in Mincing Lane. The markets are
mostly quiet. The supply Of coffee is large.
chiefly foreign sorts; numerous parcels Of
fered at public sale had to be withdrawn;
ordinary and mixed qualities lower; plan
tation Ceylon barely supports last weeks
rates.

and garrison fortified places; Sofia will be
included in Roumelia, and Varna in Bull
earia; the Turks to retain Burgas and the
northern frontier of Montenegro, and the
boundaries of Servia will be restricted to
those countries to receive compensation on
the south.
It seems that the cession Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina to Austria is already decided
upon. The Turks have been warned that
il they do not unreservedly accept the de-
cisions Of the congress they will ind no
auxiliary among the European Powers, but,
on the contrary, those most anxious to save
them will be at the head of their adverse
ries.
