THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

• CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
It was generally stated yesterday that a meeting was to be
held by the Liverpool Merchants, with the intention to make
an application to Government for advances of money on the
security of produce now housed in the Government warehouses.
Since then, it is said that accounts have been received from Li-
verpool, stating that the intention of applying to Government
for assistance has been abandoned for the present, owing to
the favourable accounts received from the United States, and
particularly the rise in the price of cotton on Monday last.
This fortunate event bad reinstated confidence, and hopes were
entertained that the difficulties would soon disappear.
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday were firm, but no marked
improvement took place in them. The various funds had
dull appearance in the course of yesterday, and closed heavy..
This might be in consequence of the settling of the Account
in Consols to-morrow.
Consols, which closed at 90-, and for the April Account at
904, opened this morning at 90 for Account and time. Ex-
chequer Bills, 30 32 ; India Bonds, 26 28; Bank Stock,
207}; India Stock, 257 258.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active left off heavy at 27,
owing to the retarded operations of the combined attack 011
the Carlists, which, it was anticipated, would have taken place
long ere this. Spanish opened at 264, very heavy; Passive,
74 74; Deferred, ua i; Portuguese, 494 ; Three per Cents.
314 32+ ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 534
HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

The letters received this morning from Liverpool are of a
very favourable description—trade begins to revive there with
more confidence in commercial affairs. Not less than five
thousand bags of cotton hare obtained purchasers ; and the
letters also mention that they do not require any assistance
from Government.

Consols-may be at a shade higher, 904-; Money, 901.
Exchequer Bills, 31 ; India Bonds, 28 prem. ; Bank Stoat

Letters have been received from the Mauritius to
the 16th November. They state the sugar crop to be consi-
derably short of that of last year, and in some parts of the
island to the extent of a third. Very high prices were conse-
quently being demanded by the planters. Nine, nine and a
half, and, in some instances, as much as ten dollars per cwt.,
had been given.
