THE FUNDS.

The Consol Market on Saturday closed rather heavy, owing,
to the operations of the Bank Directors against the exports 01
precious metals to Spain and Portugal, by selling during the
week a large amount of Exchequer Bills, which had an effect
on the Market. Consols, which left on Saturday at 92,1 to
for the Account, opened this morning at the same price'
Exchequer Bils, 39 40 ; India Bonds, 21 23 ; India
Stock, 258-9 ; Bank Stock, 223-4.

On Saturday, the business of the Foreign Market was 011
rather a limited scale, and most of the prices left off rather
heavy. They opened this morning at—Spanish Bonds, 56i i‘;
Spanish Scrip, 3a a prem. ; Portuguese, 92a ; Dutch, 551 1'
Owing to the boisterous weather, with contr,ry winds, vle

mail, one due ; one Ostend, one due. Also the Dutch mall
is due, and the express from Paris.
HALF-PAST ONE.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at
94-a for the Account, have since turned heavy, and may be,
quoted at present 91-4 92. The receding of the market 15
attributed to the near approach of the election for a SpealEer
to the House of Commons.

The foreign securities have improved since the morning'
caused by the arrival of the express from Faris, with big
prices both of the French Writes and the Cortts Bonds.
Spanish, 563 ; Spanish Scrip, 33 ; Portuguese, 92 r
