TUE FUNDS.

In the course of yesterday some considerable sales of
Stock took place, and report says that the Bank were the
chief sellers; that they sold about 100,0001. Three-and-a-
Half per Cents. in the course of yesterday, and the day
before 15,0004 Stock were sold for the Savings' Banks ;
and these sales were not owing to any political fears on the
part of the Bank, but to the Commissioners having recently
purchased rather more than the fund would bear, which
they have been compelled to replace. It is also reported
that the Bank will shortly add a further advance to their
discounts. The Bank Directors had a meeting in the
course of yesterday, but the result of their deliberations
has not as yet been made public.
Tne information received by private letters yesterday
from Canton state that apprehensions were entertained of
another stoppage of the trade, owing to the unsettled state
of the opium dispute. A Special Commission, with full
power to act, was expected from Pekin. his also stated
that an edict had appeared, stating that the shipping must
for ever be prohibited from Bing Hong, and the coast, if
not the general trade would be stopped.

Since the early part of the morning both the British and
Foreign Markets have had a heavy appearance, not owing
to any reports being in circulation, but the great scarcity
of money which still prevails, no doubt affecting the mar.
ket ; a quantity of Exchequer Bills has been brought to
market, which has caused them to recede from 38 to 32.

Epsom Races has thinned the city this morning of spe-
culators in the Funds as well as politicians, consequently
no extensive operations in the Funds have taken place.
To-morrow being settling-day in the Foreign Market,
the brokers and jobbers are busy in adjusting their accounts.
Consols may be quoted 93 for Money, and 931 for the
Account. Exchequer Bills, 38 32, 34 premium; India
Bonds, nothing done; Bank Stock, 1951- I /16 ; India
Stock, 2551.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active declined to 191
Portuguese also to 351; Three per Cents 21i; Bra-
zilian, 781 ; Colombian 30i; Mexican 25i ; Dutch Two-
and-a- Half per Cents., 66.
