impression of yesterday.:—
The English funds oßened t ins
,morning with a
slightly firmer'tode, but agiaid•be6ame dull in the
afternoon. The demand_for money in the dis-
count market and at the Bank continues active,
the revenue'. payments into' the Bank absorbing,
heavy amounts which_ eannot be brought back to'
the market except in the shape of adyanceq from
that establishment: The loans on billS and 3overn-
ment securities hay.di this,quatter . been larger;
than usual, and the payment of these will con-
siderably diminish the sum that would otherwise
become available from the approaching dividends.
_The_stock markets _to-day-were subjected to--a'
slight check,' speculators takifig advantdo of the
Universal distrust .'of. :the, grasping policy of 'the
French Emperor to bring -about a rednctibteOfT
-per-tent. in -consols: The same feeling of distrust'
prevails in financial and '-coinmercial circles
_in
France, as the langour of the pourse and
,the:,,
falling off in the discount business of the French
Bank tend Ito' 'stio w. The, stucli'._rnarkets here,
however, are by no means weakin character, and,
prices strongly resist the downward tendency;
this is especially the case with ,British- railway
stocks. Business-at the --Bank--eontinues -brisk,-
the terms in the open market being :4 to 44 per
cent. for the best bills. Good six 'months' paper
