The Funds to-day were rather weaker, the late rapid rise
having naturally led to realisations. The alteration at the
Bank, although fully anticipated, imparted a momentary
steadiness in the afternoon, but the final'quotations were to per cent. below those of yesterday. In the other
departments of the Stock Exchange a tendency to
re-action was likewise shown, sellers predominated.
British Railway Stocks suffered chiefly. The Lom-
bard-street houses have not yet made any altera-
tion in their rate for money at call, but a reduction of per
cent. will probably be notified to-morrow. Two or three of
the joint-stock banks have altered their terms for deposits.
The whole of those establishments now allow 21 per cent.
both for old and new deposits, with the exception of the
London and Westminster, which gives only 2 per cent. for
sums above £5OO, and 1-1 per cent. for smaller amounts.—
Daily Hews City _Article' Thursday Evening.
The English Funds have shown less firmness to-day.
They opened without alteration, but subsequently ex-
perienced a decline, from which there was only a partial
recovery. In the railway market there was a general re-
action, but, towards the close, a partial rally took place.
Mos 4 of the leading English stocks show a decline, com-
pared with yesterday, ranging from 4 to 11- per cent.
Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, York and North
Midland, however, led off without alteration. There were
no bullion operations at the Bank to-day. The outgoing
steamer, on Saturday, will take £224,876 for the East.—
Times City Article, Thursday Evening.

The Titnes says that, so- far from the present glut of
money being an indication of a recovery of confidence, it is
the strongest proof that could be afforded to the contrary.
The discount houses and joint-stock banks are flooded with
money, simply because the traders of the country distrust
future political possibility, and wish to deposit their resources
so as to have them within call.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET-JUNE 3

There was an exceedingly limited attendance of the trade
at our Corn Exchange this morning, who purchased Wheat
to a very small extent, the finest qualities barely sustained
the prices of Tuesday, whilst anything at all soft in condition
or of middling quality was ld to 2d per cental cheaper.
Flour continues to be very much neglected, and is nominally
unchanged in value. Barley, Beans, and Pease are all
rather lower, whilst Oats and Oatmeal are most difficult of
sale, the former ld to 2d, the latter 3d per cental below the
annexed currency. Indian. Corn meets with very little
inquiry, and where buyers appear they are enabled to
purchase on rather more favouraMe terms.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.---JuNE 3.
The improved feeling noticed in the cotton market at the
date of our last., has been further strengthened during the
present week.. The large business transacting in Man-
