holiday influence being still to some extent ob-
servable. The principal business has con-
sisted of preparations for Thursday's settlement in

clined # per cent., and home railways are slightly
flatter. The speculative foreign stocks are com-
paratively steady, except Mexican, which has fallen.

The Atrato, from the West Indies, has brought
800,0001. in specie.

The money market is now strongly acted upon
by the payments in connexion with the close of the
quarter. At the Bank of England the applications
yesterday were decidedly heavy, and it is hardly
likely that they will relax until after Thursday, the
31st. The general market was also active, and the
rates for choice bills were 51 to 6 per cent.
At Vienna on Saturday the Austrian funds im-
proved A per cent
