The fall in the French funds has checked the ten-
dency to improvement in the Stock Exchange.
Consols exhibit an unfavourable reaction of
h per cent. The investment by the go-
vernment broker for account of the savings
banks bee been limited to-day to 6,000!. stock.
Little business is going forward in any
department of the establishment, and with
the exception of a decline in Turkish Bonds and
' Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares, prices present
no movement of importance.

The New Rwmian Loan has declined to 1 to 1
prem. The Indian Loan is quoted 981 to;.
The first quotation for the Three per Cent. Relates
at Paris today, according to Mr. Renter's telegram,
was 69 for the account, from which the price fell to
6&80, being 1. per oent. lower than yesterday after-
noon.

Console are officially marked 94 to 1 for money,
and 951 to for the 7th of September. The present
quotation is 951 to 1 both for money and the smut.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in
at 95/ to 1; the New Three per Cents., at 951 to
98; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, 1858, at
95 to 961; India Bonds, at 9e. die. ; and Exchequer
Bills, at 28r. prem.
Turkish stocks have declined per cent, the Old
Loan being now quoted 821 to 831, and the New, 73 to
74. Mexican Bonds are fairly supported at the late
improvement. Venezuela Bonds are steadier than of
late. Sales are recorded as follows :—Buena Ayres
Deferred Bonds, 181; Dutch Two-sad-a-Ralf per
Cents., 1351 (exchange 128.) ; ditto for account,
851; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 201;

account, 731, 74 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents.,
for amount, 1021, ex div.; Venezuela New Two-
and-a-Htlf per Cents., for amount, 28, 281, 281.
There was a fair demand for money at the Bank
and in Lombard-street, and few transactions took
place below the Bank minimum. The final instal-
ment of 25 per cent. fell dos yesterday upon the Indian
Debenture Loan of 6,047,0001. of April last ; but the
balance remaining to be paid was limited, a very
lame sum having been liquidated in advance.
No transactions took place in bullion at the Bank
Yesterday. The 188,0001.1 n specie brought from New
ork by the steamers Africa, Ariel, and Borussia,
consisted of gold and Mexican dollars; the gold has
been taken for exportation.
The steamer Parana hes arrived from the West
Indies with 110,5001. in silver and 48,0001. in gold,
making together 168,600/. The Amazon, from the
West Coast of Atria, hu brought 4,2001. The
Royal Mail Company's steamer Shannon will take
to-day 161,9701. in gold, the bulk of which was
taken horn the Bank on Saturday last, and is
destined for Chili, as previously mentioned.

The foreign eichaitges yesterday afternoon were
steady. The rate on Holland was again slightly
higher. The St. Petersburg exchange exhibits a
further movement in f►vonr of Russia. The rates
are shown below.

Amsterdam, three months, 1136 to 4; ditto sheet
11.134 to 144; Rotterdam, three mouths, 11.16 to

The steamers Norna and Nubia reached Aden on
the 6th and Bth inst., respectively, with mails for
Bombay, Calcutta, and China.
The last advice* from Buenos AE eommunicate
an important declaration, marked a most enlight-
ened and liberal spirit, which has n addressed to
the Chamber on behalf of the government of that
state, and its object is to define the prin-
ciples on which the government of Buenos
Ayres will act during the threatened war,
both with regard to the commerce and property of
the Argentine Confederation, and to foreign com-
merce. Buenos Ayres sets an example of which
the most civilised nations of the world may well
take pattern. No impediment whatever will be
cast in the way of the trade end correspondence
of the Confederation, trade in arms and munitions
of war alone excepted ; no prizes will be made ;
the war will be limited to the men on each side
actually under arms, " peace and friendship between
the other members of the Argentine Republic" being
anxiously solicited. The provisions of this document
form a striking contrast with the conduct of General
Urquiza, who has not only entirely closed the ports
of the Confederation to trade with Buenos Ayres,
and prohibited all portal communication with
that state, bat has even abolished the differen-
tial tariff, 'so far as regards the port of Monte
Video, upon the express condition that the State of
Uruguay shall at ono, terminate all communication,
maritime and commercial, with Buenos Ayres.
We are informed on good authority that Mr.
Charles Capper, the manager of the Victoria Docks,
has made an offer on behalt of Mr. I. 0. Lever, M.P.,
to charter the Great Eastern for a voyage out acid
home, from Great Britain to North America—the
terms being 20,0001. ; the ship to be provided with
accommodation for 2000 passengers, and her speed
to come up to 14 knots per hour, upon her trial trip,
and Mr. Lever giving, if required, security for per-
formance of the charterperty.
The half-yearly meeting of the General Iron Screw
Collier Company took place yesterday. It appears
from the report that the directors have been unable
to dispose of the company's vessels. The clear profits
of the half-year have reached 8,8081., being at the
rate of 11 per cent. per annum upon the capital.
This sum the directors recommend to be appro-
priated to the payment of 11.10 s. per share in reduc-
tioa of the share capital. After some discussion the

report was adopted.
The Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway Company
notify that, in consequence of the new arrangements
made with the Belgian State and Dutch Rhenish
Railway', the traffic returns will be detained one

week liter than hitherto.
A petition for the winding-up of the West of
England Steam Flour Mills and Bakery Company
(limited) is to be heard in the Bankruptcy Court on
the let peoximo.
The dulness in the freight market is thus noticed
in the fortnightly report of Messrs. Sharer, Lamb,
and Co.:
We regret that we anent vary the tone of our report on
the freight market. In • few directions plight chops have
taken place, bet the genial condition remains the saute, the
hominess traneected being cooperatively small. Thu various
trades may be that briefly chareateruted. Baltic Inquiries
continue Willett from the Bodleian ports; the wants from
the °then are chiefly supplied by tonnage on the spot.
Mediterranean, without anything like demand for *Mips
boast, has shown eymptores of drainer, tied perhaps im-
provement, during the last few days, bat for coals out we
note a °eatery feeling. The American timber figures stead
steadily as formerly quotes, end the same remark will
describe East India coal rates, whilst homewards there Is
still a total abloom of vitality.
