TrzsDAT Eveclo.

The funds this morning opened flatly, at a further
decline of k per cent., NOM of the recent speculative
buyers still evincing a disposition to close their ac-
counts. Fresh bond,sde purchases to a considerable
amount being induced by the decline, the important
advance of Z per cent. was at one period attained.
Towards the close less animation was observable, but
the latest quotations were still per cent. above
thole of yesterday. It is noticed that the broker
who usually acts for Bank of England is a buyer of
stock. The firmness of the market was stimulated by •
renewed report that an important addition is about to
be made to the capital of the Bank of France.
Countenance is apparently given to this rumour by
the remarkable rise attained at Paris, in face of the
depression which has lately prevailed here. In the
other departments of the Stock Exchange a leading
feature of the day was a general rise in French
railway shares, in response to the movement at
Paris. English railway stocks experienced several
fluctuations, arising chiefly out of the adjustment of
the account, the arrangements in connexion with
which have thus far been effected more easily than
had been anticipated.
There was again a good general demand for
money to-day, but less premium was experienced.
Generally the Bank rates arc maintained ; but we
hear of cases in which a slight reduction was ac-
ceded to on first class short paper. In the Stock
Exchange this morning money commanded 6 to ak
per cent. on government securities, but a better sup-
ply was on offer in the afternoon.
Consols, which closed yesterday. at 931 to A for the
6th February, opened this morning at 931 to j, ad-
vanced in the afternoon to 94 to 2, and were finally
quoted 931, to 94. For money the last price was 932.
to 2. The official business report is as follows
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 031' I, t, t
ditto for account, sth Feb., 932, 931, 94. Three per

Turkish Six per Cents. opened flatly, and were
first marked 941 for money. A recovery afterward.
took place, and the 4 o'clock quotation was 941 to
951, or about the same as that of yesterday. The
"continuation" to the 30th inst. ruled at 6-16 to
7-16 per cent. Turkish Guaranteed Four per Cents.
have advanced 1 per cent., being last quoted 1031 to
1 for money. The " continuation" on this stock was
quoted to 2 per cent. Other foreign securities were
fairly supported.
The market for tea to-day was less active, but
steady. Common congou was quoted at Ilid.
Messrs. Chas. Devaux and Co., as the agents is
' London of the French Lloyds, have jest issued this
' year's " French Lloyds Universal Register of Ship-
ping." The " Bureau Veritaa" have now resident
I surveyors for London, Liverpool, and the outporta,
and a large number of British ships are thus brought
into the book. It contains the classification of up-
wards of 33,000 foreign, American, and British
owned vessels.
