The following appeared in a portion of our
impression of yesterday :

THE MONEY MARKET.

The funds opened steady, at a recovery of b from the
depression of yesterday afternoon, and subsequently
experienced a further slight improvement. In the
Bank and in the discount market the demand was active.
The railway market has shown ,increased buoyancy,
and closed at a nearly general advance.:—Tikies. ' •
The funds closed with firmness at an advance of 1,
per cent. The more settled appearance of the, money
market inspires confidence, but a still general stiraulus
is imparted by the continued absorption of good secu-
rities by the monied public. The discount market is
gradually assuming an easier appearance. More dispo-
sition is now shown to take good bills, up to three
months, at 4 to 4 4 per cent. There was again, how-
ever, a good demand at the Bank to-day. There were
no bullion operations at the Bank. On 'Change, this
afternoon, bills on Holland were in demand, with
rather a downward tendency in the rate of paper. Seve-
ral other continental places were inquired for.—Daily
Yews.
