On the other hand, it is said that Russian troops are still entering Bessarabia and Crimea. Three-and- a-quarter per Cents have been in demand this week ; and have been done as high as 102; they have since receded with Consols. After a suspension in the acceptance of New Stocks for several weeks, a return from the Bank of England was issued on Tuesday, showing that the conversions on that day into Two-and-a-half per Cents amounted to 24271. 138.
