WEDNESDAT EVENIIIO.
The Elslish funds have been again rather flatter
to-thy. The rumour which we mentioned yesterday.
regarding the state of the revenue of the current
quarter, being still circulated, and the quotations of
the French funds, which had risen so rapidly, being a
little lower this morning, seem to be the only assign-
able causes for this slight depression. Consols opened
at 911 to 2, and gradually drooped to 911; but
later is the day they partially recovered, and
left off at 913 to 911 ex dividend for account.
The Three per Cents. Reduced were done at 91 z, 91,
and 911. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 921.
911, and Wit►y at 92. Exchequer Bills at 42e. and
435. premium. Bank Stock at 194. Long Annuities
at 8.1 ; Ditto 30 years, 1859, at 81 and 7-16. India
Bonds at 72 and 73; and India Stock for Account at
252 and 4. _ _ _ .

been done by the public in the English Funds this

vity observable to-day, particularly in Mexican Stock,
which has risen full 1 per cent. upon the quotations
of yesterday. The other stocks have been firm gene-
rally, without much variation from yesterday's prices.
