The Times of March 26, in its city article says :—
Although the Bank accounts of this evening nre satisfactory, the total of bullion being higher than at any period since the 2Sth of October last, when the rate of discount was 4 per cent., tho directors to-day made no alteration in their terms, tlie recent unfavorable tendency of tlie Indian, and also to a flight extent of the French exchanges, having probably influenced them. Late in the afternoon, however, it was announced that the Bank of France had lowered its charge to G per cent., and if this had been known at an earlier hour the chance of » reduction here would have been increased. Tho funds have been so active throughout the day, and in no department has there been any business of importance, the dealers engaged in bringing their transaction? into moderate compass previous to the holidays, which will now virtually continue till Tuesday next, since, although the Stock-Exchange will be open on Saturday, the attendance is not likely to be much moro than nominal. Consols for money opened at 91? to | —a fractional decline, and the last official prices was 1)1 .V exactly. After regular hours, on the news o ( he movement by the Dank of Franco, there was a litte increase of firmness, and the Litest quotations were 911- to & for money, and 91E to £ lor the account. Bank Stock is shut ; Reduced and Xew Throe per Cents, left off at SD|j to J ; India Stock, 218 to 220 ; India 5 per Cents., 104 ito § ; Rupee paper, 103 to 105, aud 112 to 115 ; India Bonds, 8s to 2s dis. ; and Exchequer Bills 8s to 3s dis.
Tho discount demand at the Bank to-day was large, but only such as is occasioned by the absorption of the currency consequent ou the influx of the revenue.
The following is from the latest intelligence columns of the Home News; —
The official report of business on the Stock Exchange is as follows : —Consols for money, 91. to t, and 91| to f for the account; Bank Stock is shut; Reduced and New Three per cents, left off at 89 J to f : Indian Stock, 218 to 220; Indian Five per cents. 10'H to $ ; Rupee paper, 103 to 105, and 112 to 115 ; Indian Bonds, 8s to 2s dis.; and Exchequer Bills, 8s to 3s dis.
