LONDON,

SATURDAY EVENING.

In the LONDON STOCK MARKET to-day
the disappointment of the expectation of an im-
provement in the weather was attended with a
decline of 1 per cent. in the Funds, which pre-
sented a very dull appearance, notwithstanding
the announcement of a further slight improvement
on the Paris Bourse.

of Saturday :
At the commencement, this morning, the English
funds exhibited little reeovery from the fall of yesterday,
but there was a better feeling before the close of the
market. About £16,000 in bar gold was purchased by
the Bank. In the foreign exchanges, this afternoon,
there was a further movement in the Austrian rates
unfavourable to the currency of that empire. The
amount of the remittances by the steamer Pera, on the
20th, will be £324,333, of which £314,541 is silver,
and £9,792 gold. Of this total £4,778 is for India,
£312,015 for China and the Straits, and £7,540 for
Alexandria and Aden. Government, it appears, on
this occasion, despatches 464,843 in silver to Hong-
gong.—Times.
The stock markets have been materially strengthened
by the return of sunshine, coupled with news of a rally
on the Paris Bourse. The improvement in the funds
was also materially promoted by a purchase of a large
amount of stock, reported to exceed £150,000, by the
broker who acts for the Court of Chancery. Consols
have accordingly experienced a recovery of per cent ,
and the other markets were better in sympathy. The
rebound was especially observable in British railway
stocks, which yesterday were rather severely depressed
through speculative realisations. The discount market
was active and rather tight, and no business was done
below 4 per cent. The applications at the Bank were
considerable. Private advices report an abundant supply
of money on the Bourse, but this is not a very healthy
indication. The moneyed are willing to lend for short
periods, but loth to invest. The French Government is
said to be supporting the Rentes as much as possible,
with a view to an ultimate loan to defray the cost of the
China and Syrian expeditions. Owing to the continued
firmness of the foreign exchanges the demand for gold
for exportation has slackened. The Agincourt has
arrived from Melbourne with £174,500 in gold. The
Vigo and Bremen are also reported from New York, the
former with £84,000, and the latter with £36,000 in
Mexican dollars for England.—Daily News,
