THE FUNDS.

During the early part of last week there was a great
deal of business doing in the Funds, and we do not
recollect to have seen, for a considerable time past,
such a determination on the part of the leading specu-
lators to raise the price of Stocks. They have pur-
chased very large sums for the July account, and it
seems a little surprizing that, with the whole power of
the Hebrew party, applied to bolster up the Funds,
the price has not been higher, at any time of the last
week, than 801. It intuit be observed also, that co-
temporaneously with this speculation, or at least a very
few days afterwards, there came down a public notice
from the Bank Directors, stating that they were wil-
ling to make the payments on the New Scrip, charging
5 per Cent. interest on the advances : whether the
the party going for a rise had any knowledge what the
intentions of the Bank were, we have no means of as-
certaining, but certain it is, that immense sums were
bought on speculation only a few days before. This
measure of the Bank may, to a certain degree, give
relief to the money market, and as such, we have no
objection to it; but if this accommodation isto be 'ex-
tended to assist persons in carrying 011 speculations to
bolster up the price of this new Stock, and the Stocks
generally, we think the Bank Directors would be lend-
ing themselves to a measure- pregnant with the most
mischievous cdnsequences to the community.
It forms no part of the politics, of this Journal to
depreciate the credit of our public securities ; on the
contrary, we trust we shall be always amongst the first
to support and uphold them but we confess we do
see in this measure of the Bank Directors, a recom-
mencement of a system affording facilities for specula-
tions to raise artificially the price of the Funds, and
as such we deprecate their interference.
The reat interest excited by the large transactions
in the .uglish market has thrown all the Foreign Se-
curities into the back around, and, with the exception
of Russian Stock, which rose to 81-i, during the last
week, there was hardly any business doing. The South
American Stocks seem entirely neglected. The hold-
ers in Colombian are waiting with great' iinpatienee to
learn whether they are to receive their dividends in
July.
