TUESDAY EVENING.

The funds have declined I per cent., owing to an
increased demand for money. Symptoms of a less
easy money market have been observable for come
days put. In the Stock Exchange to-day, partly in
connexion with the settlement in shares and foreign
stooks, the demand was active, and 41 to 3 per cent.
was paid for short loans on government enmities.
In consequence, some loans were applied for at the
Bank. In the discount market money was also in
request, partly for Stock Exchange purposes, and the
Lombard-street houses are found willing to take
money on deposit at 14 days' notice, at 31 per oenk
instead of 3k per cent., the rate hitherto prevail-
ing. The current rates of discount, however, are
still sensibly below those of the Bank. Amongst the
(mums which contribute to stimulate the demand for
money are the increase in the general export trade of
the country, the harvest requirements, and the new
projects daily announced. The efflux of gold to the
Continent, and the continued investments of British
capital in French 'purities, operate in the same
direction, and have rather damped the previous
sanguine expectation of a further and speedy fall in
the value of mousy. The check now given, how-
ever, will be wholesome if it moderate the disposition
to launch new schemes. lb. public at present evince
laudable caution in embarking in these enterprises,
bat the number of projects in course of preparation is
known to be enormous. It is also believed that
parties connected with the United States are only
awaiting a favourable opportunity for endeavouring
to place on this market a great mass of railway and
other securities.

At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes closed
at 70.70 for money, and 70.75 for the account, Show-
ing" further decline oil to ;per ceut. since yesterday.
Tee rates of interest prevailing at the pending
Bourse settlement are not onerous, but operations for
higher prices are discouraged by the troubles in
Spain, and by the new restrictive measures just
adopted by the Bank of France, which requires par-
ties to repay a portion of the loans obtained from the
institution on stooks and shares. _ _

On some of the other continental markets a recovery
has taken place in Spanish securities.
Consols opined at yesterday's closing quotation of
961 to 1 for the 7th August, and were last quoted
951 to 1. Foe money the closing pries was 951. The
market retains great steadiness of character, but busi-
ness is very dull. The official report of actual trams.
actions is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for
money, 961, 1; ditto, for account, 7th August, 95/, 1.

prem., and Exchequer Bonds at 1001 to 1.
One of the ptincipat features of the day in the
Stock Exchange was a sudden fall of about 11 per
oent. this afternoon in Turkish Six per Cents., on
some large sales, coupled with a revived report that
a new Ottoman loan is impending. These opera-
'ions and reports were attributed to Greek
firms, which have of late acquired some no
toristy by speculative transactions of this
kind. The Six per Cents. were first marked 1041
(or money, and had fallen at the close to 1021 to 103.
The decline in the Guaranteed Four per Cents. was
per cent., the closing quotation beteg 1051 to 106/.

and 6.16 to 7.16 per cent. on the Four per Cents.

business. The miscellaneous transactions extended to
Buenos Ayres, New Oran'...da, and Equador New Con-
solidated Bonds.

prem., being a little better; Bank of Egypt, at / to
1 prem. ' • National Diomunt, at I/ to 1/ prem.; ditto,

market. The progress of the settlement, so far, indi-
cates rather diminished rates of interest. Of the
heavier stocks Great Western and Lancashire and
