Two e'Ctocir.

The brilliant weather has caused a rise of b per
cent. in the funds to-day, and has imparted
strength to the other departments of the Stock Ex-
change, notwithstanding the dulness of business.
An advance of I per cent. has taken place in seve-
ral of the principal English railway stocks.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentee were
quoted 08fr. 40c., being rather more than per
cent. better than on Saturday. The Bourse is
described as " very firm."
_ _

The India Loau scrip is firm at itiog to k. The
Five per Cent. stock is quoted 100 a.
Consols are officially marked 901 to for money,
and 90'01 and for the account. The present quota-
tions are 90} to for money, and 90i1 to for the 10th
Sept. The official business report is as follows :

90g ; New Three per Cents., 90i, ; India

There was no new feature in the discount market
on Saturday. The business at the Bank was mode-
rate.

The amount of gold (French coin) taken to the
Bank on Saturday was only 16,0001., the recent
Australian supplies being now exhausted.'
Only two Australian gold ships are known to be
now at sea—viz., the Sussex, with 128,0001., and the
Marco Polo, with 26,000/., but the coming Aus-
tralian mail will report the departure of several
fresh vessels for England.
The Conrad a, for Boston on Saturday, took 30,0001.
in specie.
It is notified that the contract for the sale of the
Nassau Rhine-Lahn Railways to the government of
the Duchy of Nassau having been confirmed, all
persons having claims upon the company are re-
quired to lodge them. Thai shareholders are at the
same time called upon to deposit the original shares
in their possession.
With reference to the French harvest, Messrs.
Joseph Travers and Sons report as follows :
The accounts of the results thus far ascertained of the
French 'arrest are not satisfactory. In the South, where
reaping was general a fortnight back, the yield seems on the
whole to have been deficient, and the belief is that respect
is confirmed by the prices realised for all the cargoes of
Russian grain that have arrived at Marseilles. In the
north, the fine weather of the past week will probably have
had considerable effect in retrieving previous damage, but
the large purr hases made in the Loudon market within
the last few days of American wheat on French account
indicate that under any circumstances the crop a not ex-•
petted to be abundant. At the same time the accounts of
the silk crop this year are rather discouraging. The vintage,
however, will perhaps prove good.
