the decline in consols, aid several leading stocks closed
at a trifling reduction.—Times.
It is officially stated by the Midland Railway authori-
ties, that some part of the continued increase, as compared
with last year, is due to the long-continued cold weather,
and consequent augmentation in the mineral traffic.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING.
The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH FUNDS tO-
dip was slightly firmer, after a temporary depres-
sion. Consols opened at the last official prices of
yesterday, and became rather heavy in the course
of the morning, but eventually a better feeling
ensued, and the present quotations are 95k to
for money and to-morrow, and 951 to _a for June ;
Bank Stock has been dealt in at 2271 and 226;
Reduced Three per Cents, 93! and :; New Threes
at same; India Stock, 219; India. Debentures,
961 ; India Bonds, 6s die; and Exchequer Bills,
4s, ss, and 7s prem.
The Funds closed at the following prices:--
Consols Money
„ Account 951
Exchequer Bills 4 7pm
Bank Stock
Three per Cents. . . . . .
Next Account . .
The following appeared in our second edition
of yesterday :

The funds to-day sustained a fall ofd to I per cent.,
which was attributed principally to a few speculative
sales, combined with the preparations for the monthly
settlement fixed for Wednesday. The other departments
of the Stock Exchange were likewise dull, but there was
no reduction worthy of notice in prices. The demand

for money to-day was only moderate, at 41, to 44 per
cent. for the best bills, At the Bank business was
rather quiet. In some instances applicants may hold
back for a day or two, in order not to forego the chance
of a reduction in the rate on Thursday.—Daily News.
The English funds opened this morning without
alteration, but were subsequently heavy on political
rumours. The statements principally current were that
the relations of Russia and Turkey are again assuming
a bad aspect, that Prussia and Denmark are on the eve
of a rupture on the Holstein question, and that Mr.
Gladstone has found himself compelled to devise new
financial expedients to meet the projected outlay for for-
tifications, and to prepare for future deficiencies. The
variety of these suggestions, however, seemed to furnish
the best indication of their having been manufactured
for speculative purposes. On the other hand, the
announcement of the Great Britain from Australia with
£190,000, a large portion of which will probably go to
the Bank, and the intelligence of a decided rise in the
rate of exchange at New York, were calculated to exer-
cise a
_favourable influence, There was again a fair
demand for discount at the Bank to-day, It is thought,
however, that the amount of bills falling due there
during the last few days must have been so considerable
as to cause a large recovery in the reserve of motes, and
to render a reduction in the rate of discount ,on
next highly probable. There was again no gold
taken to the Bank.—Times.

All kinds have met steadibiddings, although as
, yet veil,. little Wool has been taken by conti-
nental buyers.

MANCHESTER TRADE.--There has been very
little change in the tone of the market since Friday.

more apparent to-day, and a very healthy feeling pre-
vails.

NEWCASTLE CATTLE.—Beef trade active, at an
advance of 6d per stone. Mutton trade was in a slug-
gish state, at a decline of id per stone. Pork trade
slow, and prices 3d per stone lower. Lambs sold freely,

6s 6d to 9s ; Pork, os 6d to 7s 3d per stone ; Sheep
(shorn), 8d per lb. sinking offal.

CORN MARKETS. HULL : Short supply of
Wheat from farmers, who hold firm for former rates.
Millers wanted to buy for less money, which, however,
they would not do ; consequently but little doing, at
firmer rates. Spring Corn for feeding in request, and
from 6d to is per qr. dearer.—NEWCASTLE : Market
very dull, and few buyers of Wheat ; holders refuse any
concession in prices, and very trifling business doing.
Flour not so firm as on Saturday. Barley quiet, and
only grinding qualities saleable. Oats firm at Satur-
day's prices. Beans and Peas without change. Weather
milder with rain, and wind changed to SS.W.—LEEDS :
Wheat trade rather better than on Friday. Small
show, with a steady demand. No change in other
articles.
