STOCK EICHANOR, THURSDAY Arrzaimmv. The daily accounts from Paris have been more favourable. The Funds are firmer there, and the feeling of alarm alluded to in our last report appears to be subsiding. There was consequently a better demand for bills on Paris on Tuesday and today. The price of Consols continued without fluctuations of moment till this morning, when an improvement of f per cent occurred ; the price for Account reached 96f. Among the reports of the market, is one that the East India Company either have been or wiA soon be large buyers. The Company have to make an annual investment of the interest of the 1,100,0001. and accumulations which is the nucleus of a fund intended to pay off the Company's existing capital stock: Business till today has been upon a limited scale, and the transactions' unimportant. More activity, how- ever, has been apparent this morning ; and after, as already stated being at 964 for Account, th closing quotations are 951} for Money and 95/ 96 for Account. The lies of the Reduced Throe per Cents, Three-and-a-quarter per Cents, and Long Annuities, will open for private transfer on Saturday next, the 6th April; and the dividends will be paid to the public on Tuesday the 9th. Money continues very abundant, the into of discount for first-class bills being about 2 per cent. The Foreign Funds have been generally depressed, and almost all descrip- tions of Stock current at lower quotations than last week, in the almost total abeence of .business. The Russian Four-and-half per Cent Scrip fell to 1 Fe- raium, but afterwards recovered, and is today done at 1 premium. Danish Five par Cent, Scrip has fluctuated within 1 per cent of 2f premium, and is now,, rather firmer. The Five per Cent Stock has also improved. The Peninsular Securities have been heavy ; both, varieties of Portuguese Stock having been done at 30, a fall of between 2 and 3 per cent. But they are firmer again. Spanish Active and Three; per Cent Stock had also declined about 1 per cent, but both are today within' a little of the quotations from which the decline commenced. Mexican Bonds declined nearly 1 per cent, having fallen ta.284. They have since improved about. f per cent; a remit- tance of about pi,000 dollars having been received on account o the divi- dends. Peruvian Five per Cent Stock has been steady, and is rather firmer than last week.
The market for the principal Shares has been firm; but some of the less known varieties have experienced considerable depression. We allude more particularly to Lancashire and, Yorkshire, East' ast Lancashire, and South-east- ern. The latter appear to have been, depressed in consequence of some pro- ceedings inphancery, by which thenpaynient of the dividend now due would, it was supposed, be made dependent upon the company's proving that they were in possession of funds, sufficient to complete -a collateral line. Lanca- shire and Yorkshire were depressed in consequence of some large sales said to be made on account of mortgagees of shares ; these are today about 21. above the lowest quotation.
