The Funds, on the whole, remain very firm. A

further advance of per cell'. was attained at one
time this morning. which led to some sales, hut
althongil pri..es declined, they still remain above
the dosing rates of yesterday. A rumour of an
important failure at Paris, tended to produce the
flatness in the afternoon. The demand for Money
is comparatively limited, and there is a large
aunply of capital. . Consols for Money closed at
881 to Bga. and for the Account at 89f to SFi

There is only a very small business doing in
the G—ner3l Produce Markets, and prices are with
difficulty supported.
The London Corn Markets were very dull to-
day, and s9ll lower prices were current for the
leading articles. _ _

In all q'iartcfs yesterday the course of atilirs was
cheraetevised by quietude. The supply of Money
iwthe Discount Merket was larg;r than has been
witness; I of late, owing partly to the high rates
now offered for loans, and partly to the fact that
the dividends have been so recently released.
At the Bank of England the applications, though
to a fair extent, were upon a quieter scale, owing,
perhaps, to the activity of the demand on Monday,
prior to the raising of the rate to 8 per cent. It
was announced that the Council of the Bank of
France were convened as early as nine o'clock
yesterday morning, and, after a rather pro-
tracted sitting, raised the rate of discount from
61 to -71 per cent.-; but this movement had been
anticipated, and consequently produced no effect
here. There is still no sign of a revival of the
drain of gold to the Continen`, and the Bark of
England yesterday purchased about .£6B 000
in Ans•ralian gob!, in addition to the £60,000
mentioned yesterday. It is expected. how-
ever, that a considerable amount in sovereigns
will be despatched to New York this week.
The purchases, which consist partly of re-invest-
ments of the dividends, are rap'ally absorbing the
e-upply of stock afloat amongst the dealers, and
have caused The value of money in the " house" to
decline to-5 and 5;1. per cent.for loans on government
securities up to the 10 h November. This state of
things is inducing capitalists and bankers to borrow
money on government stock in the market, since
they can employ the money at ranch higher
rates. -Yesterday stock to the amount of up-
wards of 200,000 is understood to have been thus
lent. The dialers in the Stock Exchange take the
stock readily. enough, because they have need of it
to complete the contracts which they have already
made with investors. It is highly prol,able that, if
the public continue to pour money into the Stock
Exchange, bankers will avail themselves of the
supply to a mueh•more considerable extent, depo-
siting their stock temporarily in the market. Of
the large amount of -stock mentioned as sold on
Saturday, about 100;000/ was delivered yesterday,
being the first transfer day of the week, but this
was .quickly absorbed. Another small purchase of
Reduced Three per Cents was made by the govern-
ment broker.
The Pdris Baurse retains great steadiness. The
eff'ct of the vise in the rate of discount of the
Bank of France yesterday was a fall of only tOont
per cent in the Three -per Cent. nen tes, which
closed at 66.70, both for money and •fhe end of
the month. On the Boulevard, prior to the open-
ing of the Bourse this mora:ng, transactions took
place a t'63.50.
At 'Vienna and Frankfort or. M inday there was
an improvement oft to per seat, in the Austrian
funds, fram which it is to be inferred that the-rise in
the rate of discount in London 1,769 not known in
those cities. Letters from Vienna datcribe the state

of financial affairs as very critical,and express
fears of failures. Any embarrassment there would
probably react with severity upon the French
m arke
At Amsterdam on Monday there was a general,
but not excessive, fa7i in the prices of Securities.
Aus!rian stock declined a per cent.
From Milan we learn the suspension of Messrs,
13,11abio and .Co, a banking firm of old standing
The house is understood to have bent interested

At Hamburg the rate of Discount remains at 9i
per cent
At Paris on Nloneley, the Ex.-_,hinge on London
was more favourable, be,intz (rioted at 25 25 to 27i

for short, and 24.80 tn.R for three months hills
