MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY ITININO.

The confidence inspired by the important successes
of the allies in the East, coupled with further large
arrivals of bullion, caused an additional rise of per
cent. in the English funds this morning. At a later
hour, owing to some large sales of omniutn and intel-
ligence that the Paris bourse had only partially re-
sponded to the rise on this side, some tendency
towards reaction became observable, but the closing
quotations were stilly per cent. higher than those of
Saturday. In every department of the Stock
Exchange the disposition to invest is stimulated by
the propitious aspect of the money market. There is
also a moderate increase of speculation for higher
prices.
_

At Paris today the French funds closed about
per cent. higher than on Saturday. At Vienna the
Austrian tund.t hare declined to per cent. The
other continental markets are generally well sup-
ported.
