The funds to-day showed Increased firmness, and
recovered from yesterday. decline of per cent. A
sanguine feeling continues to prevail with reaped to
the retypes of the money market. It is calculated
that the Bank's stock of coin and bullion, which
stood at 12,068,7921. in the return published this

of money being on the eve of a redaction to 4 per
cent., it is argued that such a stimulus will be given

quits to the public demand, whilst the supply of
other securities in the market, incloding more espe-
cially preference and guaranteed stocks, will probably
diminish.
