The English funds have experienced some fuctua-
tions TODAY; and owing to further increase in the
extraordinary demand for money both in the stock

Bank Of England to-day was greater than las BEEN
known for a long time past. The pressure IS under
stood to have been quite much in connection with
commercial bills as with the demand for temporary
loans on Government securities to enable the large
purchases lately made to be carried forward 10 the
next account In the Stock Exchange the rate paid
for advanc on Government securities ranged be-
tween q and e cent, and the requirements OF the
day were much increased by the settlement in the for

The English funds opened this morning with great
heaviuess at a decline OF half e cent, but toward
the end of the day there was rapid recovery, fol
lowed bv further rise after regular hours COnols
for money, which left of last evening at go, were
fir.t quoted 9Ol 9O,, at which they remained for
considerable period They then improved 10 9O. the

had suhsded as was the case to q great degree IN
the afternoon, the market rcgaincd its natural buoy

favorable reports OF the condition of the Paris BOurse
With regard to the peace negotiations statement
was circu Oted that the authority for signing the con-
mencing protocol was transmitted from London 10 Vi
ennG on Wednesday, and the expectations OF speedy
settlement still gain strength. At the Bank of England
to-day the applications were again numerous aud IN
the general dscount-mAlket the demand for money

Before the close Of business, however, q marked alter
alton took place and ultimately there was comparative
ease.

mains steady after its recent rapid advance, and at
Amsterdam there has been slight rise in most des

" The English funds opened tnis morning az a de-
cline of 3 cent. number OF the late operators for
a rise have come forward sellers, the Queens
Speech aud last nights debates in Parliament not
entirely cOlrobosing their sauguine expectations of
an immediate peace. These realiZatons If profits
have also been stimulated by the continued dearness
of money, and by the apprehension that the monthly
settlement in ConSols on the 9Th inst may be at
tended with some difficulty In the afternoon how
ever there was recovery, assisted BY news OF
fresh rise at Paris Tue funds finally closed the
same as yesterday. In the Stock Excnanse money
was to-day in less active demand but still commanded

bard street, also, there material subsistence of
the late pressure. 1t is stated however, that the
applications at the Bank Yesterday represented the
extraordinary aggregate OF upwards of million. The
