The Etoile, transmitted by express, though
dated on Friday, contains only the prices of the
preceding day; consequently, the greatest de-
preston of The French Funds, was on Tuesday
last. To-day, the price Of Elves comes 10 francs
lower, while that of Threes, comes As cents
higher This may be ascribed to the execution
of the limited orders to purchase, and as drafts
will be given for the amount-the pressure in
the Paris market of Bills OH this country will
be increased, and may, for short time, aggra
vate the unfavorable state Of the exchange.
The pressure in the Money Market here, is
increased by the 4th Of December falling on
Sunday. The amount of paper falling due on
that day, is always considerable, and Saturday
being thus double day, money is more diff
cult in the City, than it has yet been felt. Al
though some relief may have been given, still
nobody will part with money, for ANY common
advantage. The Bill Brokers are in full activi-
ty-their Bill Cases stuffed with paper-of
which, not even that Of first quality can he con-
verted at per cent which their employers
would willingly give, besides is Commission
The reported stoppage Of two banks in the
west-and two considerable silk houses in the
north, have greatly added toithe embarrassment.
The opinion Of the oldest jobbers, on the mar
ket. is still against any material improvement
in the Funds. under the existing pressure for
money The banks are understood to have dis
counted with liberality perhaps unexampled
while the quantity Of paper rejected, was e.
qually unprecedented.
The number of bills unpaid this morning is
such, that some Of the notaries have found it
necessary TO take on four and five additional
clerks.
