podtdcrtpt- LONDON, MONDAY. DECEMBER 13. Three o'Cloek, 7). m. TIIE PUBLIC FUNDS. There can be little doubt, indied, with the ex eeption of those made by brokers, that nearly all purchases of French Stock are made with a view to permanent investment. The trouble and difficulty of selling stock in a thrtign country are too great to be encountered by private speculators. Connected with this abstraction of capital are the presumed wants of Government. The Revenue for the existing quarte r tuust be great indeed, it' it is sufficient nut only to maintain a comparlstm with the eorrelamtling quarter of last year, but to make up for the defici encies of the preceding quarter; yet this will be requisite, or the result will he equivalent to an actual deficiency. It cannot be alleged, as at the last re pin, that the new taxes are not in operation ; their real productiveness must soon distinctly appear, and we cannot but apprehend, front the known state of trade, that they will fidl very short of what was estimated. The State of the Exchequer Rill market is also likely to contribute to the depression of Stock. Darin , ' last week the discount on Exchequer Bids has increased front Gs. to I S.; and though they im proved subsequently, and left off on Saturday at nine shillings, it is presumed that Bills bearing higher interest must shortly be issued, which. as public opinion is opposed to a rise in the funds, would be purchased with avidity, and held in per ference to S:oell. That necessity has not sooner compelled the measure is indeed surprising, and nothing can chew t:ie credit of the Government, and the wealth of the country, more strongly, con sidering how large a proportion is already absorbed is the national debt and interest, than that they have been enabled to burrow money at three per cent, to the extent of the present unfunded debt. It is this superior degree of credit which may be relied On to counts:real the disposition to purchase fireign stock, and which will check the tendency which the go veniment securities of all countries have, in a period of peace, to find their level. A higher rate of interest on Exchequer Bills, and A lower prhe of the funds, as an approach only in part t i that level, would reconcile every capitalist to the securities of this country. It cannot, however, be to ofien suggested, that the price of stock, and the fluctuations of the market, are influenced much more by the state of the account, and the operations of speculators, than by external events. If the notion ie correct, now generally e ntertained, that the speculators for a fall have sold much more stock limn they have to deliver,an3 which therefore must, Are long be purchased, the funds must rise in spite of every appearance to the contrary. The fiactn- Axiom of the week have not been extensive, not exceeding one half per cent. Conshls for the account have done at 6G: and at 67 1 -. The seventh instalment on Otunium becenms slue on Friday next.
