The railway market was very inanimate to-day and flatter in character, owing to sympathy with the other departments and to sales in preparation for the settling. London and North Western, Midland, South Western, Great Northern, and Caledonian Stocks were all flatter this afternoon; but Lanca shire and Yorkshire, York and North Midland, and Oxford and Worcester have slightly improved. Swt tish Central, Scottish Midland , - and Waterford and Limerick were flatter. The market finally closed pretty steadily, but quite devoid of life.

Out of doors the active demand for money has con tinued, the rates ruling at 21 to 3 per cent. Trans actions have, doubtless, taken place a shade below this singe, but they cannot be taken as indicative of lam state of the market generally. The large dis 'SSA houses especially show a disposition to exact' Ml rates. It is evident that the present position of the money market and the uncertainty as to its I future course are weighing upon the security mar kets, which aro fiat throughout, speculative de scriptions of course suffering the most. l Operations are further checked by the nn - I certain issue of the government conversion plan, and by the desire to see how the Chancellor of 1 the no r will act in the case of the renewal of =ills, whilst it is at the same time remove the budget, as a whole, has not yet re- Solved legislative sanction. Still the depression in prices is slight, a strong disposition being shown to support quotations. As regards the progress of the conversion nothing farther is yet known, no official information being tarnished. The process appears to progress very quietly, and (thus far) has certainly not ittractefl any ,seance. narked degree of attention. Under present circum *ere is naturally a disposition to watch the Imes of events quietly, the more especially as govern ment allow so long a space of time for holders of &mole and Reduced to signify their assent to the I commutation. The notification in the Gazette rela tive to the proposed Exchequer Bonds, is looked for with interest. Consols at one moment improved to 100 Z, buyers for the account of the let June ; but the ruling and closing quotation was 1001 to 1 for money, and 1001 1 toe for the new account. The settlement of the ac count expiring this day progressed quietly. The meat broker continues his investments in Re dacted Threes; his purchase to-day was effected at par. The official business report includes :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 1001, I ; ditto, for ac count, Ist June, 1001. Three per Cent. Reduced, 991, 100. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 103, 1.

The expectation that Mr. Gladstone will do some thing to relieve this market, affords it comparative support during the present demand for money. India Bonds mark 255. to 29e. prem. Foreign stocks, although not materially changed, have shown a downward tendency, especially Peru vian Deferred, which closed only 641 to 651. Mexi can Bonds, although in steady demand on Dutch ac count, also gave way, chiefly from sympathy with the general dulness of speculation. Grenadian stocks were also weaker, and Spanish became a shade Satter after 3 o'clock. Buenos Ayrean bonds, on the other hand, marked higher. At four o'clock, Mexican bonds were quoted, 264 to 1; Granada Active, 221 to 23; ; ditto Deferred, tot to 11 ; Peruvian Deferred, 641 to 65); ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cent. scrip, 3) to 1 prem.; Spanish Deferred, 23) to 241; the Certifs. 6) to 6) per cent.

There was not so much demand for gold to-day for despatch to the continent. The altered aspect of our money market is adverse to this operation. ' The Sultan, steamer, arrived at Marseilles this day I at noon with the overland mail, which will arrive in I Lyndon on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. The anticipation of a decline in the price of silver has been realised. The large supplies by the Meg . I dalena were sold to-day at 4s. 11)d. per ounce fur dollars, and 3.. hi. per ounce standard for bar silver, being a decline of 4d. per ounce. A portion of there supplies was taken for India, and the remainder for Ithe continent. The total sum paid to the Southampton Dock Com pany for the use of their dry docks in the first four months of this year is 1,1831., against 3371. in the corresponding period of last year. These figures, Ithough comparatively small in amount, are . yet of interest to the proprietary, as the capital sunk in this portion of the company's works has hitherto been un productive, and is only now beginning to yield a return. From the extended use now made of this portion of the docks for the repairing of iron steamers and other vessels, it is expected that the dry ducks receipts will experience a considerable increase. The directors of the Norfolk Estuary Company have made a call of 21. 10s. per share, payable by the 13th inst., making 161. 10s. per share called up. Monday next, the 16th lust., is the last day fur signing the deed of the Berlin Waterworks Company, after which date shares unsigned for are liable to forfeiture. Land shares were heavy to-day. Agricultural* closed 811 to 82 1 . British American Laud receded considerably, leaving off 71 to 73.
