THVIUIDAT ITINIXO:

Owing to the increasing complications in the
monermarket, the funds opened this morning with
heaviness, at a further decline of per cent. The
market, however, derived support from a steady de-
mand for stock, both for investment and to cover
previous speculative sales, and a rally to the closing
quotations of yesterday ensued. At this point the
market was even supported for a short time
after the announcement of the alteration at the

Bank. Later in the day, some considerable sales
were pressed, and influential brokers appeared in the
market as borrowers of money upon deposit of go-
vernment stock at the increased rate of 71 per cent.
up to the December settlement. Under the influence
of this supply of stock, more depression prevailed
in the afternoon, and the closing quotations
were 1 per cent. below those of yesterday. The
gloomy feeling this afternoon was increased by news
of an important failure at Sheffield, and by the anti-
cipation of an extremely unfavourable return from
the Bank of England, the next balance-sheet of
which will be published in the Gazette of Friday
evening, and will extend to last night (Wednesday).
