The funds to-day are steady, at yesterday's quo-
tations, although the weather is extremely un-
favourable. The transactions throughout the stock
Exchange are upon a very moderate scale, except,
perhaps, in the market for British railway stocks.
I Prices in this department are now quoted below the
beat point of the morning. The continued rise on
the Paris Bourse is favourably regarded.
At Paris this morning according to Mr. Reuter's

telegram, the Threu per Cent. Rentea were quoted
60fr. 70c., being } to } pur cent. better than
yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 93} and for
money, and 93} and for the account. The
present quotations are 94 to for cash,
and 93,1 to for the 11th of October. The
official business report is as follows :—Five per
Cent. "enlaced " rupee paper, 96 ; Indian Four
1 per Cog. Debentures, 1858, 961 ; ditto Bonds,
dia. ; Exchequer Bills, par, 3s. prem.
Very little business has been done in the

foreign stock market, and prices are un-
altered. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is
quoted 731 to 741, and that of 1868, at
571 to /. Sales are recorded as follows

Consols are still quoted 931 to ¢ for money, and
93i to for the account (Oct. 11).
The commercial demand for money yesteiday was
brisker, and the supply was somewhat reduced. The
bent bills, however, were still discounted at si to
to 3/ per cent. At the Bank c England the ap-
plications were decidedly more numerous than of
late, but still insidesate.
At Vienna, on Thursday, there was almost a panic
on the Bourse. The Five per Cent. Metallic, fell

per cent.
AbouL 8,0001. in gold was taken to the Bank
yesterday.
On 'Change yesterday afternoon there was mere de-
mead for bills on the Continent, and in one or two
iastances the tendency was rather unfavourable.
The rates are shown below :

Amsterdam, a months, 11.16 f to f ; ditto, short, 11.14
to 15; Rotterdam, 3 mouths, 11.16 i to t ; Antwerp, 2

A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of
Mr. S. J. Wood, cement merchant, of Millwall,
whose liabilities are estimated by Mr. C. F. Kemp,
the accountant, at 9,2021., and assets at 3,59 U/.
Mr. Wood, with the assistance of his friends,
altered to pay at ouoe a composition of 7s. in cash,
and this was accepted.
Shareholders in the Antwerp and Rotterdam
Railway will probably be interested by the follow-
ing semi-official figures, which exhibit the weekly
receipts to.. the first 35 weeks of 1860, and give an
estimate of the probable results of the year's work-
ing. The compiler of the figures estimates the
probable profits as equal to 4 per cent, on the
shares at par ; and as the price in the market is
now only -5/. 10a. per 101. share fully paid, the re-
*eat purchasers reasonably argue that there is an
ample margin by way oZ allowances for contin-
gencies. We understand thet the increase wit-
nessed for some time past in the rev&pts is per-
fectly independent of the conveyance of materials
for the fortifications of Antwerp, which has not yet

commenced on thin railway :

indicates a somewhat fuller employment for money
in the general market, the Bank's advances on
commercial securities have fallen off. There is an
increase both in the reserve and tho bullion.
