London, Tuesday epening, Feb. %,
haJfpast seven o'clock
The funds which recently appeared stea-
dy, and in course OF gradual improvement,
have to day undergone a depression Of
nearly per cent. below the concluding
price Of yesterday. The report in circula-
ton concerning the death Of the King OF
France, is thought to have Influenced them
in some degree-but the fall is perhaps to
be ascribed, more Immediately, to the &C
tual state of the market. The great spe-
culators are all sellers for this and the next
account and it is further stated, that stock
to the amount of two millions will be deli
vered on selling day by two or three spe-
culators only, instead of purchasing, to
close their account. The operations
of to day have been on the largest scale
The following are the concluding prices.

LONDON MARKETS, FEB: 90.
The state of the Money Market continues
to attract much attention and effect COM
merce the cause of the late CONFUSION may
be attributed to the great loans 10 foreign
governments, which were attended with
serious losses-to the loan in England
these extensive transactions have thrown
money out Of the usual channels, prevent
ing discounts and the necessary accommo-
dation to merchants as the effects of the
loan to the British government will now
subside (the las! instalment being paid on
Friday last, and the foreign loans being
now in more regular channels, the question
of the Bank restriction being also on the
point of being finally settled, it is fully
expected that the commercial affairs of the
country will be gradually ameliorated, and
that confidence which has been so much
shaken by recent failures, will again be re-
stored i, ought particularly to be observed
that the languid state Of trade has had the
effect of depressing many articles Of the
FIRST importance far below their real value,
{wbat they can be raised for and brought
to market, and as many of these are great
staple commodities, they offer sure and
beneficial object of speculation to the ex-
tensive capitalists Of the country.
