The funds were firm during the great part of the
morning, being supported by another investment to '
the extent of 16,0001. for meant of the Savings
Banks, combined with two or three other purchases.
Danes' has since been caused, however, by the news of
a fresh decline on the Paris Bourse ; and Consols
are now quoted 1-18 to / per cent. lower than on
Saturday afternoon. Business continues very lan-
guid. The tendency of the market for British rail-
way stocks is still favourable.

clined to 971 to 981.

The scrip of the Russian Loan fellon Saturday after-
noon toper. The subscription-list was closed at two
o'clock. The amount of stock which will be allotted
to the London subscribers is between 3,000,0001.
and 4,000,0001. sterling. The principal applications
have been from bankers and foreign houses connected
with Russia and with the Continent, and the im-
pression is confirmed that they are of an unusually
strong character. The proportion asked for by the
Stock Exchange is smaller than has been witnessed
in any similar transaction for a long time past—a
circumstance which attests the indisposition or
inability of the members, after their late severe
lases, to embark in new enterprises. In considering',
the prospects of the market for the new stock, how-
ever, the matinee of the amount afloat in the
Stock Exchange may prove to be a favour-
able element. As to the general result of the sub-
scription, the parties interested expels themselves
in terms of satisfaction. The extent oldie subscrip-i
Lions on the Continent is not yet known. The allot-
ment of the loan will take place about the middle of
next week; and the scrip will be ready for delivery
on the 30th inst., on completion of the deposit of 16
per cent., as stated in the prospectus.
