The Funds, which closed firTYm yesterday,CLoot notwith-
standing the absence of business, are again firm this
morning, at a slight advance ; and the principal
Foreign Stocks are well supported. The strength of
the market is caused not by any demand from the
public, but simply by a cessation of the undefined
and exaggerated apprehensions of war which have
for weeks past disorganised business on the Paris
Bourse. In Railways there is no particular change.
Great Western have further improved, and Great
Bsstern are better ; but most other cases prices are
stationary. American 5-20 Bonds have declined. The demand for money has fallen off this morning,
and transactions have taken place at 1 per cent.,
though for the present quotations nominally remain at
11 to I,i per cent.
Consols are quoted at 934 to 94 for money, and
94 to 94i for account, and they are firm in tone. New
and Recinced, 9-11 to 94/ ; India Five per Cents.,
114,i to 115 ; Bank Stock, 244 to 246 ; Exchequer
tills, 16i to 203 prem.
