FRIDAY EVENING.
THE markets opened on Monday buoyantly, and with
much excitement, at a rise of about 21. per cent. on
the closing prices of Saturday, and they closed at
63i, about which price they continued with slight
fluctuations. The cause which chiefly led to this
rise has been the favourable news from the seat of
war in the East, together with further considerable
arrivals of gold. On Monday 127,000 ozs., of the
value of 508,0001., were brought by the Australian
steamer, and on Wednesday a further arrival of
125,0001. was reported. But the chief feature of the
week has been the announcement of naw loans, in
addition to those which have recently been effected.
These amount in the aggregate to thirty-one millions,
viz :
England
France 10,000,0001.
Russia 8,000,0001.
Austria (about)
Prussia
Belgium
Although these will be negotiated on the Continent,
yet, as England is the money market of the world, it
is evident that, by indirect channels, this considerable
drain must be ultimately supplied from this country,
and, although the arrivals from Australia have been
large, they have not hitherto kept pace with the
demand, and the bullion in the Bank of England is
less by about 5,000,0001. than it was at the corre••
sponding period last year. Under these circumstances
it is thought probable that the rate of discount will
again be raised. Should the interest on first-class
personal security continue for a lengthened period at
more than 5 per cent., landowners may tind con-
siderable difficulty in raising money on mortgage, for,
so far as land is concerned,the usury laws are still in
force. Besides the Government loans we have men-
tioned, the East India Railway Company are about to
raise 1,000,0001. on bonds. The interest guaranteed
by the East India Company will be 44 per cent.
They will be issued for amounts commencing at 1001.,
and will be for periods of three or five years, at the
option of the applicants.
In answer to inquiries made at Galatz as to the
effect of the war on the supplies of corn it is said
that, though rye and barley are exhausted, yet that
great stores of soft wheat and Indian corn exist in
the interior, and only require ships and fair prices to
bring them down. The appearance of the growing
crop is said to be " splendid." The failure of Messrs.
Thomas Taylor and Sons for 100,0001. was announced
on Monday. They were in the worsted trade; and
several smaller failures, amounting to about 50,0001.,
in the same trade have also occurred.
It was sttated on Tuesday that Messrs Rothschild
had contracted for 2,000,0001. Exchequer Bonds, and
yesterday the following notice was issued
"CITY, HALF-FAST THREE O'CLOCK.
"EXCHEQUER BONDS—LETTER B.
" 2,000,0001. Price of Issue, 98 per cent.
" 215 per cent., June V. I "25 per cent., Aug. 8.
2.5 per cent., July 5. 25 per cent., Oct. 10.
"The bonds will bear the date of the Bth of May, 1854,
from which day they bear interest at 84 per cent. per
annum for five years.
" N. M. ROTHSCHILD AND PON&
" New-court, 23rd of June, 1854."
The scrip is only a shade above par. Railways
almost universally have risen from it. to 31. during
the week. We must refer to the list for particulars,

Jun 4, 1E354.

•
Shares of every description, with the exception of
Australian Land Companies, have risen generally.

FOREIGN FUNDS.

On Monday a rise in Rentes was announced, but it
has not been fully supported during the week. At
Berlin and Hamburg Russian Bonds have fallen.
Here the Five per Cents. are from 97 to 98, and it is
alleged that this price is only maintained through
the efforts of Russian agents, to facilitat the new
loan which is to be brought out at 98, and is also to
bear interest at 5 per cent.
