TILE FUNDS.

The Hamburg steamer has arrived, by which we
have received the liamburg Reporter of the 16th
October, which states that the supply of wheat con-
tinues to be small from the Upper as well as from
the Lower Elbe, but fully equal to the demand.
The beginning of the week a few parcels of best
quality were bought at reduced prices for the French
market. During the first nine days of October,
forty-eight cargoes of corn passed the Sound. The
Funds were on the 16th less in demand, and must
be quoted a shade lower than on Tuesday. In Paris
13,000 pounds sterling Anglo-Danish Bonds have
been stolen, and the public have been warned against
purchasing them. Exchange on London—at two
months, 13 9i; at sight, 13 101.
Consols which left off' yesterday at 901 I for the
Account, and 90 for Money, opened at the same
price, since which the market has become very stiff,
and Consols have improved to 90i; and at present
may be quoted 90/ 1 for Account, and 90i-i for
Money, with a good deal of business transactions.
In the Foreign Market little doing as yet.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Some of our Evening Contemporaries have been
amusing the public for several days past with re-
ports in their Fund articles, that the cause of the
improvement of our Consols was owing to attempts
making on the Continent to get up the Foreign
Funds—they must have been imposed upon or badly
informed—the real cause of the continual improve-
ment is, and credited by the well informed, that Go-
vernment have it in contemplation to pay off the
4 per Cents., as well as the 31 per Cents., creating
a new stock of 21 per Cents., by which financial
operation there will be a saving of seven or eight
millions sterling. Should the plans be adopted it
will cause another great improvement in the Funds.
No doubt this grand scheme has got vent in the
Stock Market, and has given the Bears a fever.—
Consols have again improved in the course of the
morning, a per cent. In the early part of the day
they were at 901 and may be quoted at present
at 91 for the Account, and for Money: 901 buyers,
with considerable business doing.
The Cape of Good Hope Papers state, from
Graham's Town, that their annual visitors, the
Locusts, in spite of all predictions, have again ap-
peared in great numbers, and commenced their de-
structive operations. The Bushmen are again dis-
turbing the peace of the frontier inhabitants, and
have committed several robberies. The Field-
Commandant is pursuing the fugitive.
In the Foreign Market Brazil Stock is still im-
proving; in other Foreign Securities nothing doing.
They write from Liverpool, that the business
done in British Plantation Sugar has been consider-
able, the sales, 1,200 hhds., at steady prices. The
demand for Cotton continues steady, and the prices
are fully supported. There was nothing doing in
Indigo, the Company's quarterly sale in London
having suspended all present inquiries in the above
Market.

THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols for Account, 91; for Money, 90i, buyers.

Two persons fell accidentally into the Canal,
near Losetnore, last week, but were rescued ; both fell in
in consequence of imperfect vil/4ion---one was short-sighted
and the other saw double.—llirmingliant Journal.

NEW PAPER.—The Mexican Congress has
passed an Act enjuining the different departments of the
Mexican Government to ui.e no other paper than that which
is made from a vegetable grown in Mexico, called maguey.
Manufactories of paper from this plant have been esta-
blished at Queretara and St. Angel ; and the paper is said
to be equal for all purposes to that made from the finest
linen rag...—. Literary Gazette.
