Brom Exemssoz, Parser AFTERNOON'.

The English Market has shown much firmness during the week, not- withstanding the Bank rate of discount, 7 per cent, remaining unaltered. Consols have advanced 1, and are now 94a 1, with a tendency still further to improve. It was pretty generally expected that the Bank of England would at their meeting yesterday have made some reduction in the present rate of discount ; but nothing was done further than to announce that, in spite of the late resolution not to lend money upon Stock, they were pre- tared, while the transfer-books are closed, to advance money on Govern- ment Securities till the January Account, at the rate of 7 per cent: and tilde, although customary, is considered favourable. Exchequer Bills have risen 28. today. The Market for Foreign Securities has exhibited little activity, and prices

show scarcely any variation ; operations being chiefly confined to the Turk- ish Six per Cent Stock, in which some fluctuations have daily taken place : the present price is 951 to 961, showing an improvement again of nearly 3 per cent since last Saturday. Some very large purchases have been made today for speculative accounts : Turkish Four per Cents good at 102 to 1021. The rates for continuation on Foreign Stocks have ruled at an average of -8 per cent ; which may be mainly attributed to the existing uncertainty as regards the future determination of the Bank Directors.

In the Railway Markets, there has been a considerable amount of busi-

ness transacted, and Shares have in most instances experienced an advance from 108. to 45a. Great Northern have recovered 158.; Caledonian, 10s. ; London and North-Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Midland, 20s. to 25s. ; London Brighton and South Coast, 308. South-Eastern 25s.; Great Western 308. Coniangos have been exceedingly heinry this ac- count. Although this has been settling-day, a large amount of business has been done.

The transactions in French Shares have been very limited ; but prices

remain steady, with only the following improvements worth noticing— Northern of France, 108. ; Paris and Lyons 308.; Great Central of France, 5s. A little more business has been done today, chiefly in Paris and Lyons. A meeting of the Buenos Ayres Bondholders was held on Wednesday last; when the propositions submitted to the Committee (details of which have been published) were accepted. The Stock has not been affected, and re- mains steady at 84 to 86.

The Atlantic Telegraph Company scheme has proved successful. The shares have been so rapidly taken up, that the Directors have felt justified in accepting tenders for the cable, to be shipped by the 31st May. Our Go- vernment have consented to grant 14,000/. a year—or 4 per cent on a capital of 350,000/.—for the conveyance of public messages, until the dividend amounts to 6 per cent, and 10,0001. a year for twenty-five years after. The Government to have priority in the transmission of messages, and to control the tariff of charges. It will also give any assistance required in making soundings or depositing the cable.

It is intended to amalgamate the English and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company and the British Telegraph Company : the necessary measures to erect the object are now in progress.
