MONDAY EVINTXO.

The English stock market to-day again showed
great Omens. A further improvement of i per
omit., however, which was current during the greater
part of the day, was not maintained to the close,
owing to reports connected with the state of the
relations between our government and that of the
United States, es developed in the advice• received
per the Pacific. Were it not for this disquieting in-
fluence, Consols would probably have improved, as,
independently of the support afforded by the recent
steady purchases of the public, more dispoition has
been shown by operators for lower prices to cover their
late sales. The Coesol market is also strengthened
by the anticipation of the deduction of the half-
yearly d'vidend in December.
The discount market continues characterised by a
sore confident f sling. but there is little 'iteration
is rates. In the Stock Exchange there was 'app..
rently rather more demand for money, in connexion
with the share settling. O. Consols. however, the
current rate was only 3 per cent., and on Exchequer
Bills 31 to 4 per cent.
At Par".• to-day the French funds closed much the
same as on Saturday. At Vienna, the exobaoge on
London has advanced from 11.2 to 11.5. Most of
