The funds to-day are fairly supported at yester-

73fr. 75c. for the end of November, showing a fresh
advance of per cent. compared with the closing
quotations of Saturday.
In the discount market yesterday the demand was
moderate, and the supply of money large, yet the
minimum rate for good bills was not below 21 per
cent. At the Bank the applications continue to
exceed the recent average. The instalment of 20
per cent. which fell due yesterday on the fast series
(3,000,01101.) of the Turkish loan had been pre-
pared for.

According to advice@ from Paris, the forthcoming
return of the Bank of France wit exhibit changes
analogous to those presented in the last return, in-
cluding an increase in the discounts and • decrease
in the bullion.

Pursuant to instructions received from Coostanti-
nople, the Turkish ambassador in London hes offici-
ally communicated to the contractors the renewed
and explicit sasuranoto of the new ministry that the
proceeds of the loan will be regarded u a deposit,
applicable solely to the purposes specified in the
prospectus.

According to the Eastern telegrams, the exchanges
at Calcutta and Shanghai are less favourable to this
country. At Canton little alteration seems to have
occurred. The inference' is that the efflux of silver
to India and China will continue.

According to the Melbourne advices, the Orwell
and Kent were to leave for London on the 18th and
28th September respectively, and the screw steamer
Royal Bride for Bristol at the end of October.
The specie known to have been shipped for the
Brazils by the Tyne, which will leave to-day, is
only 9,5001., nearly all silver.
The corn market yesterday was again flat, but
with little change in price.
In the Tallow market yesterday a few variations
took place, consequent upon the receipt of telegrams,
dated St. Petersburg yesterday morning, which
report a sharp frost, and a heavy fall of snow. The
quantity of tallow shipped off since the commence-
ment of the season was 111,350 casks, and it is con-
eidered probable that no further shipments will be
made this year.
The steamer Ceylon arrived at Malta from Alex-
andria on Sunday with the heavy portion of the mails
from Calcutta and China, and would leave immediately
for Southampton. The Ripoo, with the English mail
for Bombay of the 27th October, reached Malta on
Saturday.

A memorial from exporters and other mercantile
firms interested in commercial intercourse with the
East Indies is now in course of signature, addressed
to Lord Stanley, soliciting the adoption of Messrs.
Croskey and Co.'s proposal to despatch steamships
monthly to and from Calcutta or Madras, for the
conveyance of troops and mails, and other govern-
mental purposes; as affording, also, most desirable
means for the regular despatch of valuable goods
between England and India.
The preliminary prospectus is issued of a new
project, entitled the " Palace of the People." The

than one-half of the cost of the Crystal Palace at
Sydenham."
The annual meeting of proprietors of the Bank of
British Nortb America is called for the 7th Dec.
The Finance Committee of the Council of India
have not drawn any bills by the outgoing mail.

MONDLT ETINUIO.

The funds to-day were sensibly better, owing to
the arrival of an extraordinarily large amount of
specie, coupled with the satisfactory progress of the
monthly settlement in Consols. Bankers have
evinced more willingness to lend money in the Stock
Exchange at 2 to 21 per cent. on government secu-
rities. Stock being thus withdrawn and replaced by
money, operators for the rimer* encouraged. There
is, however, very little speculation afloat.
In the other departments of the Stock Exchange
a more confident feeling likewise prevailed. English
railway stocks are strengthened by the contineed re-
covery in the traffic, whilst French shares have
advanced considerably in answer to the rise at Paris.
Consols, which closed on Saturday at 971 for the
10th inst., opened this morning about the same
price, and gradually advanced to 981 " buyers."
The 4 o'clock quotation was exactly 981, both for
money and Wednesday. After the close of the
Stock Exchange the quotations were 98/, " buyers,"
for the present settlement, and 981, "sellers, for
the 7th December. The rate of "continuation"
was 3-18 to / per cent., but was rather lighter at the
close. The official business report is ID follows:
