TUE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twzr.rx o'Clocs.
The agitation of the English Funds became less at
the latter part of yesterday, and Consols closed at
87, without however exhibiting much firmness ; this
morning their first quotation was the same, but
the heaviness of the market still continued, and the
price went back to Stii- it, both for money and ac-
count ; at this period a sudden and important impulse
was given by the purchase of a large amount of
Stock for the Court of Chancery for Tuesday, to the
tune of four hundred and thirty-two thousand pounds,
which operated like magic, and they rose rapidly to
87 a re-action has since taken place to 87* i ;
this immense purchase has produced a degree of
pan • ic among the Bears, who begin to find already a
great deficiency of Stock, at the same time that it
will increase the amount of the Bank Notes in circu-
lation, as the sum which is to pay for the stock
is to come out of the Bank of England and not from
general circulation; it is reported that an application
has been already made to a great Capitalist, who
refuses to accommodate the Jobbers. It is a curious
fact, that the amount of stock purchased is quite
equal to the reduction of the purchases for the sink-
ing Fund. India Bonds maintain their high price
of 113 114; Exchequer Bills, 72 73.
The Foreign Funds are without the slightest in-
terest; Portuguese have been done at 53, and has
been the only Stock in which any business, even to
a limited extent, has been effected. Every thing
else is nominal.
