TriE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twnzrß o' Glocr.

A property tax, or rather its effect, seems to be
the chief topic in the City this morning; some antici-'
pate a decline in our Funds, from the idea entertained
that many Capitalists will be inclined to sell their
British Securities, and invest their money in Euro-
pean Foreign Securities ; others say • that a tax on
property generally would realise so large an
,amount
that the Government would be enabled to remit, if
not all, the greater part of the assessed taxes; this
would improve the value of funded property, inas-
much as the country at large would benefit materially
by the removal of those taxes which bear heavily
upon the manufacturing and agricultural classes,
whilst the real capitalist, iii many, cases, does little
or nothing for the benefit of the State. Consols
opened at 851 I, and buyers, for April ; little '
business, however, was transacted until towards 12
o'clock, when the money market became strong, and
the Jobbers supplied the Commissioners at 85k,
the present price is 85i There is little alteration
in India Bonds, which are 93 4 pm.; Exchequer
Bills are a mere shade higher than yeiterday; being
61 2 pm.
In the Foreign -Funds littlahas been doing except
arranging accounts for the settlement .to-morrow;
Mexican are steady at 36 ; the demand for Guate-
mala continues, but from the smallness of the anieant
of theßonds in circulation, and-the paucity of dealers.
there is great difficulty in effecting purchases, which
seems to be the fashion. Greek Stock remains 17i
18. The arrival of Lord Cochrane is considered fa-
vourable. Colombian are 26 4.
Little or nothing is doing in Shares Real del
Monte are 70 50 discount ; Brazilian, 51 52 pm.,
and Anglo Mexican 60 55 dis.

HALF-PAST TWO.
Since two o'clock, a sudden change has taken
place in the market, and Consols have receded to 85
for Account, caused by some heavy sales, and a
report of some change in the Administration.
