The announcement of a European Congress has had a
most favourable effect in financial circles. The upward
movement has made further progress, the Funds closing at
a fresh advance of about per cent., making a total
improvement of one per cent. since Friay morning. The
rise would have been more decided but for the hesitation
still shewn by the Paris Bourse, where the feeling of distrust
is profound. The silence of the Moniteur excites much
comment. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange
general buoyancy prevailed. In the Discount Market
to-day there was a good demand, at 27-, to 24 per cent. for
the best bills, but the applications at the Bank have
slackened. There were no further withdrawals of gold from
the Bank to-day. The shipments of silver to Bombay are
likely to continue large, the Exchange shelving a further
adverse movement of about 1-1 to 2 per cent.—Daily News
City Article, Monday _Evening.
The announcement of the forthcoming Congress caused
the Funds to open this morning at a fresh improvement of
I per cent., which would probably have been followed by
an additional rise during the day but for the Paris Bourse
not yet showing any very decided recovery of confidence.
A slight increase in the demand for money also checked
the buoyant tendency.—Times City Article, Monday Evening.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET

•ARCH 22

At to-day's market we have a better attendance of the
trade, and a more general enquiry from country millers for
most descriptions of wheat, a fair amount of business re- ,
sulting at the extreme value of this day se'nnight, and in
some instances Id per cental advance on superior qualities
of both white and red. The flour trade, however, con-
tinues exceedingly heavy, at almost nominal prices. Beans
remain without change, upon a slow demand. Prime quali-
ties of oats for export make ld to 2d per cental more money,
but other qualities have in nowise improved in value, the
transactions with consumers being only limited. Oatmeal
dull, without any change in price. Yellow Indian corn is
a slow sale at the reduction noted on Friday ; white is sale-
able at an improvement of ld per cental. Arrivals and
