MONDAY Emaiga.

The funds to-day were again fist, but the reduction
in pries did not exceed i per cent. The chief depress-
ing inflosnos is still exercised by the continued
stringency of the money market, coupled with the
depressed appearance of the Paris Bourse. The start.
ling revelations made in connexion with the crash of
the Royal British Bank are also referred to as tend-
ing to induce a gloomy feeling. It is not easy to
perceive, however, how this Bank failure can really
affect Consols, unless, indeed, it operates as a warn
ing to cautious inveetcre to trust their savings in no
description of security but that undoubted one—
British Government stook.

There was today a steady demand for money in
the discount market, but no pressure. In the Stott
Exchange money was rather easier, at 4 per cent. for
short loans on government securities.
Consols, which closed on Saturday at 941 to 1 for the
Bth October, opened this morning at 941 to 1, rallied
to 941 to 1, relapsed to 941 to 4, and were quoted at
four o'clock 941 exactly, the price for money being at
the same hour 94 to /. Subsequently the
quotation for the account was again Galled
941 to 1. The official business report is se follows :
—Three per Cent. Console, for money, 94, 911, 94,
941, 94; ditto, for account. Bth Oct., 941, 941,
941; the New Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 78;
Thu►and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling
payable in 1868. 991.

prem.; and Exchequer Bonds, 991 to 1.

Buenos Apes Bonds maintain a firmer appearance,
and are marked 80 and 78. Other foreign sem-
raise were quiet, with little change in price.

dia.; and Bank of Egypt to 2i t, 2 die. The
National Discount Company's shares were last quoted
9-16 to 11.16 prem.; London Discount, 1 die. to
par; and General Bank of Switzerland, j to
dig. The shares of most of the Landon
joist stook banks were more offered, owing
to the •ague feeling of distrust excited by the disci*.
same at the Royal British Bank meeting on Saturday.
Western Bank of London shares have declined to 6
to 4 discount. Bank of London and City Bank re-
ceded 11. Land and Steam stocks were dull. Peel
