The English funds ruled rather lower to-day, but
yet maintained considerable steadiness of character.
In the morning a fall of 1 to 3 per cent. was tem-
porarily established, but the final quotations were
only about 1- per cent. lower than those current at
the aloes of the Stock Exchange on Saturday. The
steadiness of the market is partly due to the absorp-
tion of stock by the dividend recipients, and partly
to the speculative sales previously effected in antici-
pation of the prejudicial influence which it was pre-
sumed would result from the French loan. The
effinx of gold may be referred to as an unfavourable
feature, but this consideration is partly counteracted
by the fall in corn.
There was to-day a very active demand for money,
both in Lombard-street and in the Stuck Exchange,
assisted by the payment of 41. per share which fell
due this day on the extension shares of the East
Indian Railway Company. The final instalment
falling payable to-morrow on the second series of
1,000,0001. of the Turkish loan, operated in the same
direction. The chief cause of the tightness, however,
is the withdrawal of such large amounts of gold
from the Bank for the French lean. The total sub-
scriptions to the loan were stated by the Paris tele-
graph today to amount to the enormous sum of more
than 1,800,0(10,000 francs, or about 72,000,0001. ster-
ling. As a deposit of 10 per cent. is exacted in all cases
on subscribing, it follows that the French government
must temporarily hold upwards of seven millions
sterling pending the allotment of the loan. On the
completion of this process, however, the amount in
excess of the 2,000,00 W. sterling required as deposit
on the loan (which, it will be remembered, is limited
to 20,000,0001.), must be released. The pressure on
the money markets of Paris and London, it is conse-
quently hoped, will be merely temporary. In view of
the eager competition for the loan in France, the
impression is gaining ground that a comparatively
small portion of it will be drawn from England.
This astonishing success of the loan illus-
trates strongly the sagacity of the French
government, and proves that a vast amount
of money must be usually hoarded by the middle
and lower classes of Frenchmen. It is a curious
question as to how far the confidence engendered by
the cordiality of the Anglo-Freuch alliance has con-
tributed to the success of this great financial opera-
tion.
The closing quotation of the French loan to-day
was 2 to 23
The Paris bourse to-day showed buoyancy, stimu-
lated, doubtless, by the avidity with which the loan
is subscribed for. The rise established in the Three
per Cents. was about 3 per cent., and in the Four-
and.a-Half per Cents. nearly 1 per cent., compared
with the closing range of Saturday. At Vienna the
bourse continues to show distrust : the exchange on
London has advanced to 12.18, whilst the Austrian
funds continue to fall. At Amsterdam a firmer feeling
is observable. The other continental stock markets
remain quiet.
Consols for the Bth Feb. ranged between 913 and
921. " buyers," and stood at 4 o'clock at 92 to 3. For
money the closing quotation was 911 to 92. The
official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.

Foreign stocks were steady, with a fair amount of
business. Turkish was well maintained, and had
advanced at the close to 761 to 3. Spanish Deferred
was rather weaker. At 4 o'clock Russian Five
per Cents. were quoted 100 to 102 ; ditto Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 89 to 91 ex div. Dutch

The corn market continues much depressed. A
decline of at least 45. to ss. per quarter, as compared
with last Monday's prices, was to-day established in
wheat, and even at this reduction few sales could be
effected. In some quarters a greater fall was quoted,
the market being very unsettled in the absence of
buyers to any amount.
Parcels of gold continue to be taken from the Bank,
but the demand to-day was rather leas active. It
must be borne in mind that a heavy sum has already
been despatched in connexion with the French loan,
the allotment of which in the English market is as
yet invested with uncertainty.
The Severn has brought in from the Brazils specie
to the value of about 7,7401. (of which 1,2381. is in
gold dust and 1,971 doubloons), besides 16,5331. worth
of diamonds. The Madrid has also brought in
20,3211. (of which 19,2211. is from Lisbon). The
aggregate value of these arrivals is thus about
28,0001.
The dollars brought in by the Atrato have not yet
been sold. The overland mail reports the exchange
at Canton on London rather lower, and that at
Shanghai higher.

THIS DAY—Two O'CLOCK.
The English stock market has shown increased
firmness to-day, and prices are now quoted 1 per
cent. higher than they closed yesterday. Consols
for the Bth Feb. were first marked 92, and have
since advanced to 92k to 1. For money transac-
tions are recorded at 911 to 92, and the present
quotation is 92 to 1. The Three per Cents. Reduced
have been dealt in at 911 to 1; the New Three per
Cents. at 92 to 921 ; Bank Stock at 2101 ; Exchequer
Bills at 41. to 7s. prem.; Exchequer Bonds, 1859, at
991; and India Bonds at 14s. prem.
Foreign stocks are well supported. Turkish is
agaia a trifle better, at 78} to 77. Mexican remains
quoted 21 to ; Russian Five per Cents. at 100 to
102 ; and Spanish Deferred Three per Cents. 181 to
a. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
dealt in at 90 to 91; Sardinian at 85; Dutch Four
per Cents. Certifs. at 931; Peruvian Three per
Cents. at 501 to 51; and Buenos Ayres at 53.

HMV! or GLASGOW IN DECEMBER, 1854.—A
trifling increase of the mortality is shown in the monthly
return for December, the number of deaths being 1,023,
against 1,003 in November ; but the number is still greatly
below the pof the mouth, which for the last flee
years has amounted to 1,158. Six cases of cholera are still
reported, but the general mortality for zymotic diseases has
diminished from 378 to 330. The barometer during the
greater part of the month was low, and its average did not
' exceed 29.644. It was lowest on the Btb, when it stood at
28179; and highest on the 28th, when it was 30.344. The
temperature, which throughout the month was moderate,
fell very low on tte 28th, when the minimum thermometer
fell to 21 deg.; keen frost continued for several days, but
on the 30th the temperature rose rapidly. The fall of rain
wee 5.83 inches; and the number of rainy days, 24.
