THE FUNDS.

Costsols--Yesterday closed
After the Close

sofs

This morning opened
The Market opened this morning a t the closing
price of yesterday—but with an aspect scarcely
less gloomy, than when the Bank was re-issuing one

and two pound notes. Rumours of failures, in Lon-
dust, G lasgow, Liverpool, and Manchester, created
numb agitation on the market—and we regret to
*4k.l, that with respect to a London woollen house
,inence, the rumour is now confirmed. In the
et part of the day there were heavy sales, and
Consols dropped to 80/12, but by 1 o'clock they
afterwards recovered to 8021.
The extent of business, both for Money and
Account, has beel4s•considerable. Money Stock

',go continues scarce. Confidence is manifestly
wvakened as to every species of private security,
and this tenacious adherence to the Funds,
IS, et4tainly one of the prop:, by which they main-
tain a price sn inconsistent with the notoriously
distressed "situation of the Country.
