The funds opened with heaviness this morning,
owing to an increased demand for money in con-
nexion with to-day's settlement in the scrip of the
new loan. The commencement of the monthly settle-
ment in the consul market, also induced flatness.
The decline, however, scarcely extended 8 per cent,
and in the afternoon renewed firmness was
shown. The closing quotations were A per
cent better than those of yesterday, and
stood thus to 91-a. Considering the
great business of the money market, the
steady creation of fresh stock and the subject of
the out-standing speculation for a rise both here
and in Paris, the funds may be regarded as
remarkably steady. In the Stock Exchange to-day
money commanded as much as 6 to 7 per cent upon
government securities. In the discount market
the demand continued active and the supply is
scanty. At Paris to-day yesterday's recovery of
per cent. in the Three per cent. Rentes was lost.
Of 40,7501 in specie, taken out by the Atrato, the
bulk consisted ofdoubloons for Havana in payment
for sugar. The first series of colonial wool sales
for this year, terminated this day. At the close
the advance was equal to fifteen to twenty
per cent. over the rates of last October. The
Railway Share Alarket to-day was steady. All the
leading stocks closed much the same as yesterday.
At the close of the day the quotations were
as follows :—Caledonian, 58 58/. Eastern Coun-
ties, 92 9a. East Lancashire, 71 72. Great
