Money Market and City Intelligence Review

The English market showed mixed moves with Consols fluctuating around 9 4 to 1 and 9 4 9 to 2, then retreating to 9 3 5. Three per Cent stocks, Indian bonds, and Exchequer Bills mixed, while foreign securities remained largely steady. Railways held modest firmness but overall sentiment grew heavy as settlement pressure and French market news influenced prices. Gold premiums and exchange notes from Paris and Hamburg indicated abroad price gaps, with gold dearer in London than Paris and Hamburg. Evening reports show renewed selling in Consols after Bank rate changes, with a broad downward tilt across equities and continued unsettled money markets.
