JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET,

TUESDAY EVENING.—The funds have been considerably
agitated to-day, partly through the contents of that extraor-
dinary document, the despatch of M. Thiers in answer to
Lord Palmerston's memorandum, published in the Herald
this morning, and partly as bein the day for the declaration
and arrangement of "options,' preliminary to the settle-
ment of account to-morrow in the home stocks. People at
first were inclined to look on the French state paper as of
evil boding for the continuation of peace, but as few among
the stock dealers who hastily adopted this view could have
had time or patience to wade through so lengthy a document,
so as to be able to comprehend fully the nature of its con-
tents, it was not surprising to find afterwards more sober
conclusions prevailing, influenced by such as took the pains
to read and judge for themselves. The final effect was to
calm the fears realor affected which had infected speculators,
and ultimately Consols, which had fallen to 861, rose again
to 871 to 4 for money, and for next account to 871 to t.

wards, and consols closed at 874 for money and 871 to for
