TIIIIDAY Evixixo.

The English funds experienced7tiilli ofper
cent. at the opening this morning. Statements in
Continental newspapers hinting that the Czar may
perhaps accept some of the propositions submitted to
him caused purchases in realisation of profits by pre-
vious operators for a fall. At a later hour, however,
sales of stock on government account being under-
stood to continue, a relapse took place. At the close
of the Stook Exchange the quotations were the same
as yesterday afternoon. During the later non-official
hears, a sale of 50,0001. stock, coupled with other
eratiocs, caused a fresh fall of 1 per cent. Pending
the definitive reply from St. Petersburg, business con-
tinues extremely restricted throughout the Stock
Exchange.
Money to-day was in good demand, but without
pressure. In the Stock Exchange the current rate
was 5 percent. on government securities.

881 to /, opened this morning at 87 to 1 ex div. for
the 10th instant, and were quoted at the close of the

about 6.18 per cent. higher. After regular hours
the quotation for money and for tits 'snotty account
reeedtd to 881 to /, but for this pries
we may repeat there is no official authority.
