The funds, though pie!, retain an upward ten-
a°%• A fresh advance of about k per cent. has
taken place in Consols. The principal feature
in the Stock Exchange is the continued
rise in the New Indian Loan and in British
railway stocks. This is " settling-dsy" in the
latter department, and, although business is only
moderate in amount, the absorption by bona file
buyers has had a powerful effect upon prices. A
rumour that it is proposed 'o amalgamate the Cale-
donian and London and North Weemrn Railway
Companies has caused a further considerable advance
in the former company's stmk.
The Scrip of the New Indian Loan has attained
a fresh rise of about 1 per cent., being quoted 1031
to k. The stock is quoted the same as the scrip.

There was a fair demand for money on Saturday,
except at the Bank, where quietude prevailed. Toe
bwt bills may be discounted f per cent. below the
Bank rate, but the money dealers show a good deal
of firmness.

The sum of 4,000/, in gold was sent into the Bank
on Saturday. The Australian gold by the Indus, from
Alexandria, will be despatched ►broad, as well se the

Ito 2 per cent. worse. At Shanghai little alteration
has occurred.

The imports of the precious metals last week
were small. Our list includes—irrespective of the
silver received from the Continent-10,0001. by the
Athenian, from Africa ; 10,0001. in gold from Russia ;

127,0001. 31canwhile the demand for gold for the

the West Indies, takes only 1,6211. in specie.
Letters from Russia state that M. Koorigin, the
tallow speculator, whose failure was lately an-
nounced, has not failed, but some arrangement has
apparently been made. It appears from further
advice, that the house of P. Alexeyeff and Co., of
Moscow, large traders in woollen and other manu-
factures, are also in difficulties, but it was probable
that assistance would be extended to them, and that
no suspension would occur.
The eighth half-yearly dividend, being at the rate
of 10e. per cent., is announced on Equador Con-
solidated Bonds.

We are informed that arrangements hare been
concluded for the construction of goods stations
at the London and Blackwell terminus for
