BOURSE OP AMSTERDAM, Nov. 30.—The rise of the
funds at Paris caused our National Funds to be firm, ne-
vertheless the liquidation stopped the impulse, as well as
the sales, and damped the market. The Actives of the
Society of Commerce went up to 170.
There was little variation in the Foreign Funds. Ar-
doin's, although they fell at Paris, were firm. Coupons
were sought after, and got up two per cent. after change.
Ardoin's were done at 22 1-16 to A ; Coupons 181.
