The English funds opened this morning at a de-
cline of 1 per amt. A number of the late operators
for a rise have come forward as sellers, the
Speech and last night's debates in parliament not en-
tirely corroborating their sanguine expectations of
an immediate peace. These realisations of profits
have also been stimulated by the continued dowses
of money, and by the apprehension that the monthly
settlement in Consols on the 7th instant may be at-
tended with some difficulty. In the afternoon, how-
ever, there was • recovery, assisted by news of a
fresh rise at Park. The funds finally closed the
same as yesterday. In the Stock Exchange money
was to-day in less active demand, but still commanded
64 to 7 per cent. on government securities. In
Lombard-street, also, there was a material subsidonas
of the late pressure. It is stated, however, that the
applications at the Bank yesterday represented the
extraordinary aggregate of upwards of a million.
The requirements in connexion with the heavy Stook
Exchange settlement in shares and foreign steam
have now been met; and the preparations made in
anticipation of the commercial settling of the 4th
inst., and of the Consol liquidation of the 7th, will
tend to diminish the pressure at those dates.
The Paris Bonne continues to show a strong up-
ward tendency. The money price of the Three per
Cent. Rents closed to-day about 1 per cent. higher
than yesterday, but the rise in the quotation for so-
mantis ae much sa 1 per cent. The price for the
amount is now 80c. higher than that for cash. This
indicates a great preponderance of speculative pur-
cheese. The other continental stock markets are
y firm, at the late rise. At Amsterdam,
generally
stook has attained a fresh improvement of
more than 1 per cent. On that bourse and at Ham-
burg, Spanish Bonds are also better.
Consols opened at 904 to 1 for the 7th instant, re-
ceded to 901, and Gland at 901 to 91. For money
the final quotation was 901 to 91, and for the 14th
Marsh 911 to 1. After the recognised hours the
price was a shade better, at 91 " buyers" for next
Thursday. The official business repot tis sa follows:
—Three per Cent Consols, for money, 901. 4, it it
ditto, for amount. 7th February, 901, 1,4,

tierßilla were again flat, at a further decline
of le. The closing quotation was 10s. to tie. die.
Ezehequer Bonds remain quoted 971 to 98.
Foreign stocks were generally well supported.
Turkish Six per Cents continue in chief speculative
favour. Sales were pressed in the morning as low
as 921, but the price had risen at the close to 931 to
1, for the 16th February, being / per oent. higher
than yesterday. The New Four per Cent. Guaran-
teed Loss closed at 19l to fex di,. After making
allowance for the deduction of the dividend, this price
is 1 per cent. above the final range of yesterday.
The corn market to-day wee flat. Prices were
nominally quoted about the same as on Monday, but
progress could not have been made with sales unless
at a reduction. The arrivals of foreign breadstuff. in
London this week include 17,680 quarters of wheat,
4,840 quarters of oats, and 1,320 sacks 9,200 barrels
of flour. Of these supplies about 10,000 quarters of
wheat and 2,350 barrels of flour were brought from
New York in one large vessel—the Mobile. Since
last Friday 24 floating cargoes of grain have
arrived at ports of call, via., 17 of wheat, and 7 of
Indian corn, besides lof flour. _ _ _
