WZDNISDAY ETIORNII.

The funds experienced renewed depression this
morning, bat afterwards 'spurned more firmness. The
quotations at the termination of the recognised boars
of business were a trifle better than the final rotas of
yesterday, but subseqsently renewed flatness was
shown, upon the announcement of the arrival of the
steamer Atlantic, from New York. The daily fluc-
tuations are still almost entirely attributable to the
American dispute, the influences in operation upon
the whet being in other respects highly favourable.
This was the day for the monthly settlement in
Consols. At periods like the present, when the
market is fairly supplied with stook, and when the
current speculation is directed to higher prices, the
arrangements incidental to the settlement are usually
sufficient to indoor some fluctuation, even apart from
political anxieties. Upon the whole, however, the
stook markets retain considerable steadiness, being
strengthened by confidence in the future course of
the money market, and by the continued investments
of the public.
The mass of mercantile bills falling doe to-day
(the 4th of the month) wss unusually heavy, but the
liabilities were remarkably well met. In no depart-
ment of the money market was any presser*
observable. In the Suck Exchange, notwithstanding
the requirements in connexion with the Consol settle-
ment, money was obtainable on easy terms for short
Crand did not command more than 6 per cent.
