28 DECEMBER 1867, Page 3

Owing to the holidays, very little business has been transacted

in National Stocks. Consols for money have been done at 921 1; and for the account, 921 ; Reduced and New Three per Cents. have been 9211; India Five per Cents., 1111 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 25s. to 28s. premium ; and India Bonds, '408. to 508. premium. The decline in the latter security has arisen from an official notice to the effect that after the close of next year the interest allowed will be further reduced to three per cent. In the value of Foreign Bonds very little change has taken place. Railway Shares have shown rather more firmness. The quotation for short bills is 11 2 per cent. The stock of bullion in the Bank of England is 21,941,0471.; in the Bank of France, 40,609,572/.
