The following appeared in a portion of sur
impresSion- of yesterday.

-THE MONEY MARKET.

In the English funds this morning there was an im-
proved tone, from the fact that the Bank return was
less unfavourable than was anticipated. It is under-
stood that the present India mail has brought over.a
further large amount of the rupee paper. At the Bank,
beyond the demand for India, there is nothing to cause
pressure. A telegram from, St. Petersburg to-day
mentions the failure of -the lime of Peter Luhrs, of
Archangel. The liabilities, chiefly in Russia, are not
thought to be heavy. In the railway market, there
was no 'general business of any importance. The Otto-
man Bank has received from Constantinople a remittance
of £lOO,OOO in anticipation of the dividend due on the
Ist of March.—Times.

The funds opened this morning with increased firm-
ness, and at an advance of 4- to per cent. The firmness
of the Paris Bourse, the renewed cordiality between
the English and French Governments, and the payment
of the dividend without any drain of importance upon
the Bank, were favourably regarded. A relapse after-
wards took place, and the closing quotations of consols
were no better than those of yesterday. The fall at
Paris was not known here until after the, close of the
Stock Exchange. In the share market steadiness gener-
ally prevailed, and Bank stock was inquired for. The
amount of gold taken from the Bank to-day, for expor-
tation, was £38,000, of which £13,000 was recovered
from the Royal Charter. The Bremen brings £60,000
in specie, and the Sultan £13,135. The other imports
of the precious metal this week have been small. The
returns of the Bank of Austria show that the paper
afloat has increased nearly eight millions starling dunng
the last twelve months, whilst the specie has decreased
two millions and a quarter sterling.—Daily News.
