The funds at present have the appearance of the
weather—rather of a gloomy cast. Since the early part
of the morning the British market has continued heavy,
although we do not hear of any arrivals to depress the
market. It is supposed that the affairs of the East have
operated on the nerves of the speculators. Consols may
be quoted at present 91-:4, 92 for 27th August New Ac-
count ; Money lower, have been 914. Exchequer
