THURSDAY ETRNIN4I.

The English funds were firm today, and, upon
the whoic, prices showed an improving tendency.
Consols ranged between 1011 and 1011, and left off
gamed 1014 to 4, both for money and the 9th Dec.
'rho quotation for the January account was at one
time 1011 to 2, but left off at 1011. 'fhe difference
between the quotation for " this" and for " next "
time is 3-16 to 1, owing to the income-tax having
to be taken into consideration. The investment of
the government broker was to-day chaurd to South
ISea New Annuities, which were consequently higher
at 1004. The official business report includes :

count, 1011, 1,4, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 1001,

In the Belgian markets the price of the national
5 per cent loans of 1840, 1842, and 1848, has fallen
to par, the ;projected conversion into a4l per cent.
stock being daily regarded as more probable. The
price of the existing 41 per cent. stock, on the other
hand, had risen to 991 at Brusssels, and the 21 per
cent. stock was in strong demand.

These returns are peculiarly favourable, owing to
the influx of provincial visitors intent upon witness.
in the obsequies of the late Duke of Wellington.
All the metropolitan returns are thus extremely good,
and, with the exception of the Lancashire and York-
shire, which does not contrast no brilliantly as usual,
none of the " takes "of the provincial lines appear
to have been much checked by the extraordinary
prevalence of wet weather. The increase in the
Beath Eastern receipts affords evidence that a large
number of foreiuners must have come over to see and
attend the funeral of the Duke.
