CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The English Funds continue to show considerable
firmness, notwithstanding the comparative absence of
business. They are deriving support from a general
expectation that political repose will not be disturbed
on the Continent, and that the exchanges, which are
already favourable, will further improve so as to attract
gold here from France, whilst our supplies will be soon
enlarged by the amounts due from Australia. The
Foreign market has further improved partly upon
Continental orders. Railways remain at about the
final prices of yesterday, which were depressed in con-
sequence of the closing of the transactions left open by
the firms which suspended the other day. This is
the first day of the fortnightly settlement, and atten-
tion being chicly devoted to the arrangement of the
account, the number of new transactions is restricted.
The discount market is quiet, with liberal supplies,
and rates for the best bills do not exceed 1/ per cent.
On the Stock Exchange the terms for advances are
quoted at 1 to 11 per cent.
The Panama, from Valparaiso, has brought £30,000
in bar silver.
