MONDAY Eve•.

The funds to-day retained a strong upward tea•
dency, and a fresh rise of; to 1 per cent. was finally
established. With the dimipation of the extr►vagant
ideas recently circulated as regards the financial re-
quirement' of government, numerous purchases have
been induced. The more favourable tendency was
greatly assisted by the publication of the amended
army estimates. The sum originally required was
34,998,5041., but, with the restoration of peace, this
has been out down to 20,747,6744 showing the im-
portant reduction of 14,250,9301. A diminution in
the pressure for money, coupled with farther arrivals
of gold, also operated satisfactorily. To-day, short
loans upon government securities could be obtained in
the Stook Exchange at 6 per sent. In the discount
market likewise the supply of money was liberal.
Some demand will be stimulated this week, however,
in connexion with the monthly Consol settlement,
which is fixed for Thursday, and for which prepare.
tions are already in progress.
The bulk of the purchases of Compels were today
for the next account terminating on the 4th of Jane.
It may be useful to point out that immediately after
that date the half-yearly dividend will be deducted
from the current quotation of Consols. Numerous
purchases are usually induced in anticipation of this
event.

Consols, which closed on Saturday at 921 to / for
money and Thursday, were first marked today 921,
and stood at 4 o'clock at 9n to 93. Subsequently
the price was quoted 93, exactly. Far the June ao.
; count, the latest quotation was 931. This material
' difference between the price for money and that foe
the new account, indicates that there is still a mist-
derable floating supply of stock. The official bunneas
report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for
money, 92/, 921. 93, 92/, 921, 93 ; ditto, for account,
