In Canada political excitements interfered much with
business.
The Funds are rather quiet again, but they maintain
nearly the previous rates. The accounts from Russia via
Amsterdam state that great exertions were making to
recruit the army in Poland, and that the corps raised
there would replace troops that were expected to be sent
to Gallicia with the view of assisting Austria, if neces
sary, against its Italian subjects. Consols have been
89k to 4 for present transfer, and 891 4 for account.
Exchequer- bills have been marked 235. to 275. premium
for the June, and las. to 225. premium for the March
bills. East India Bonds have been at 18s. premium.
