The improvement oft per cent. which took place in the funds yesterday has not been supported. The market is dull in character, with little busi ness. In English railways there is likewise a slight reduction. Most other kinds of securities are very well supported. At Faris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rental were quoted 711 r. 47c., being about 1-16 per cent. better that yesterday. Consols are officially marked 93 and 921 for money, and 93 and 931 for the account. The present quotations are 921 to for cash, and 94 to 93 for the 6th of March. The official business report is as follows:—Three per Cents. Reduced, 931, ; New Three per Cents., 94 ; India Stook, 220, 224 ; ditto, Five per Cent. Stock, 1061 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1863, 991 ; ditto 1864 or 1866, 100 ; ditto Bonda, 235., 265. prem. ; Five per Cent. "enlaced" rupee paper, 1011, ; Exchequer Bills, March, 10a. prem. ; ditto, June, 14a., 10s. prem. In foreign stocks, Mexican, Venezuela, Moorish, and Equador continue to meet with attention, and are well supported. The Italian Loan and the Spanish Coupon Certificates have advanced. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 841 to 851, and that of 1858, 74 to 76. Wag are recorded as follows :—Chilian Four-and-a-Half per Ceuta., 841; Dutch Four per Cent.

With the increase in the demand for money, a fresh fall has taken place in Exchequer Bills. The March closed to-day at 10a. to 16s. prem., and the June at 12s. to 15a. prem. foreign stocks continue to meet with a great deal of attention. _ _ _ Joint Stock Bank shares of nearly all descriptions remain very firm, with an upward tendency. Otto man Bank have risen to 20 to 4. Agra, Union at London, Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, Loadorti and China, and Bank of British Rusk America, were all better. Bank of London, how ever, were rather more offered. Royal Mail Steam, National Discount, and But India Irrigation shares were inquired for. The closing quotations for shares in new under takings were as follows :—Ocean Marine, 7 to 71. prem., being again higher ; Thames and Mersey Marin 1 11-16 to 13-16 prem. ; Universal Marino l to e, dis. ; London and Provincial Marine, i dis. prem. ; Mercantile Fire, 9-16 to 11-Iq_prem. ; Commercial Union, * din. to par ; and Warndff Colliery, Ito prem.

The increased demand for money continues, and the tendency of the market is upwards. Little disposition was shown yesterday to take even choice bills at 21 per cent., 21 being generally asked. The demand at the Bank of England was consequently active. There seems to be a general expectation that the loan to the French government will cause the rate of money to rule higher, and this view is confirmed by the rapidity with which the instalments are to be paid up. It is said that something like two millions is to be remitted to France during the present month. For their own sakes, however, the parties engaged in the transaction will curry it out with as little disturbance of the mosey market as possible. It is thought likely that a large amount of French twenty-franc pieces will be taken from the Bank of England. On the other hand, the 1,100,0001. of Australian gold now at sea will fur nish an acceptable supply. Only 3,0001. in gold was taken from the Bank yesterday fur abroad. The exchanges yesterdayafternoon experienced no variation of importance. Subjoined is our usual list : Amsterdam. 3 months, 11.18 to 1 ; ditto, 3 days, ILISI to 16; Rottenbun, s months, 11.18 to 1 ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.35 to MI ; Hamburg, ms. bacon, 3 moras, 13.7 to 1 ; Paris, 3 days, 23.10 to 17i ; ditto 3 months, 25.421 to 5 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 1181 to 1; Petersburg (per rouble), 3 months, 321 to 1; Vienna, eff. 80., 3 months, 14.15 to 20; 'Mare, etf.

The - Liverpool cotton market yesterday was firm though inactive. At an adjourned meetingyeaterday of the creditors of Mr. F. Meyer (trading as Ogleby and Cu.), oil merchant, ttc., it was announced that, by the reali sation of the assets, and the introduction of fresh capital into the business, a dividend of 12s. in the pound will be paid in March, 3e. in July, sad 2s. snore, waking in all 17e. in the pound, at a future date. The business will still be carried on by Mr. Meyer, in conjunction with two new partners. An opinion was expressed that Mr. Meyer had acted very properly in stopping payment directly he knew of his difficulties. Two o'CLocc. In the mining market to-day Great South Taigas shares are in demand at 4} to 5. East Caradon are very firm, at 302, "burs ." r South Camden are quoted 320 to 325 ; Par Consols, 8i to ; Great Fortune, 14 to 15 ; North Downs, 51 to f ; Wheal Seton , 125 to 127, being rather fi at ; and Marks Valley, 10 to 1. Foreign and colonial mining shares remain steady, at former prices. Tho shares of the Yudanamutana Co per Mining Company were dealt inyesterday at Ito preen. The closing price was fto I prem. About one-half of the company's capital has already been paid up, although there has not yet been time for applica tions to be received from the provinces. The very sensible plan is to be adopted of giving allotments in full to subscribers who apply at once. Accord ingly, the bankers have power to close the list as soon as the requisite amount shall have been com pleted. The subjoined weekly summary of the metal market is extracted from the circular of /Amara. Von Dadelmen and North :—"A fair amount of business has been done in the metal market since our lest report. The high prices DOW ruling in America have induced shipments of tin, tin plates, spotter, and lead, but they have not been sufficient to came an advance in pries in either of these articles. Iron : Titer* is an ordinary demand for Welsh bare at present quotations. Staffordshire iron is still dull. Scotch pig improved to 49e. 6d., cash, in the early part of the week, but bag dam receded to 495., cash. Copper : The continued dulness is this metal has caused the 'molten to reduce the fix,tl pries for manufactured id. per lb., and 41. 10s. per ton for best selected tile and bigots, but we much doubt whether this will be sufficient to increase the demand. Even now it can be bought much below the official quotations. Foreign has given way in the same proportion, and the market has a very unsettled appearance. We quote Burrs and Ka pundit 981. to 991. Tin : English in fair de mand. Straits is selling at 1191. ash for con sumption. A fair amount of business has been done in Banat from 1221. to 123/., but holders now ask 1241.
