TUESDAY EVENING.

A further fall of 1, per cent. was established to-day
in the English funds. Sales still preponderate, and
no check to the decline was observable up to the
close of business this afternoon, the market finally
leaving off at the lowest point yet touched. Realisa-
tions of stock held by bankers and others have been
induced by the pressure in the money market, and
the floating supply of stock is thus augmented. In
the Stock Exchange money continues to command 33
to 4 per cent. on government securities. In Lombard-
i street to-day the money market was rather easier,
bat a good demand for accommodation is still
experienoed by the Bank of England. The upward
movement of the foreign exchanges is regarded with
satisfaction, but the drain of gold from the Bank con•
tinnes, and so long as this is unchecked, no confidence
will be felt that the period of greatest pressure is
over. Under these circumstances each succeeding

- _
weekly board at the Bank will be watched with
anxiety.
At Paris to-day the Three'per Cent. Rentes closed
about per Dent. lower than yesterday. The caution
shown by the London market, and the heavy decline
in the stock of ooin and bullion in the Bank of
France, appear at length to have given a decided
check to the speculative spirit which has so long been
prevalent in Paris, and the duration of which has
been prolonged by the late successes in the Crimea.
The apprehension of a tighter money market
is now weighing upon the bourse, and the existence
of a heavy outstanding speculation for higher prices
forms an additional element of weakness. The
efflux of !old, indicated by the last Bank of France
return, wiU be stimulated by the purchases of grain
which are now being made on French account in
several foreign markets.
Most of the other continental stock markets show
a tendency towards reaction from the buoyancy which
was lately ►ndnad by the Crimean news. At l'ienna
the recent improvement in the money market is fairly
supported, but at Amsterdam weakness is apparent,
especially for Austrian stock, which comes quoted at
