'1 [ MREEPENCE. MONEY MAR KE T. SvrtaDATEvume. The stock markets were remarkably idle to day, but prices were generally well supported. The funds, after opening firmly, became a shade weaker iu the afternoon, but rather in tone than price. Con sols ranged between 1001 and 100/ for money, closing at 100/ to For the account the price was 1-16 flatter than yesterday, leaving off, however, at 1001 to for the Ist of June. The transactions were devoid of interest. The official business report includes Three per Cent. Console, for money, 1001, /, /, 4 • ditto for account, 1001, 1. Three per Cent. R educed, 100, I. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1021, South Sea Old Annuities, 99i ; ditto, New Annuities, 100/. The price of the new Exchequer Bonds was to-day quoted (for the first time) at 93 to 94, offers being made to sell them at 94. Whether this operation was induced by any attempt to flatten the market for the new security, by offering them for sale on a dull market and on the dullest day of the week, does not app• ar. It would as yet be premature to pronounce decidedly upon the fate of' the government conversion scheme, but it is generally conceded that the market has been peculiarly unpropitious since it came in operation. The market for Exchequer Bills was much flatter, sales being made at Is. dia. The nominal closing I quotation was Is. dis. to 3s. prem. India Bouds mark 30e. prem. The foreign bond market was extremely dell.' Spanish securities were a shade firmer, but Peruvian do not rally. Dutch stocks are rather better. At four o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 201 to 27k; Granada Active, 22 to 23; ditto, Deferred, 10/ to 11 • Peruvian Threes, 64 to 66 ; ditto, Four and-a-Hali per Cents., 21 to 31 prem.; Spaoish De ferred Threes, 24 to ; the Certificates, 61 to 131 per cent.

We continue our returns of the progress of the conversion : the present shareholders having a prefereunal claim to the new issue. The undertaking is brought for ward under high French and Sardinian patronage. In land shares there was no movement to-day. Australian Bank shares were rather firmer. Gene rally miscellaneous share business was very quiet. Crystal Palace shares were better, closing 3 3-16 to 3 5-16 prem. Shares of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada rallicd to ;to 2 prem. Grand Ceutral of France closed 2A- to 21 prem. The colonial wool sales at the Hall of Commerce, which commenced on Thursday evening, the 19th instant, have been attended with an average num ber of home buyers and several large buyers from the continent. At present the biddings have not been very spirited, but the prices of good wools— say from ls. 10d. to 2s. 3d. per lb.—are decidedly against the buyers, as compared with those of Feb. and March. For very inferior and bad-conditioned wools prices are about the same. In a few days we shall be able to ascertain more clearly what range of 'prices will be established. It appears pretty certain that the demand will he fully equal to the supply, and that the sales will continue until the 7th of June. The Paris Presse contains a long article on the conditioning of silk, in reference to the ordonnance of the Emperor, of the 2nd inst., establishing a con ditioning house in Paris, in furtherence of the reso lution of the Chamber of Commerce of that city of so long a date back as February, 1t443. It states that the trade in silk is of a very limited character in Paris, while that in woollen yarns is very considera ble. The Paris conditioning house is, therefore, for both these articles. The object of these establish ments is to ascertain with perfect precision the exact quantity of water which such hygrometric substances as silk and wool may happen to contain above their normal quantity. Silk absorbs and retains in its natural condition about 11 per cent. of water, but may very easily be made to absorb, by exposure to dampness, &c., as much as 20 to 30 per cent. This in an article of a value varying from 14s. to 40s. per lb. ; may either occasion a considera ble loss to buyers, or encourage fraud in the sellers by the temptation of the immense profit. Wool, though not so valuable, is still more 11,•grometrie than silk. " The conditioning," as it is called, of these articles, by the very simple process of absolute desiccation, takes away all such cause of doubt and difference between buyer and seller. The practice is of foreign introduction. Piedmont led the way about the middle of the last century. There are, besides Paris, in France only four other conditioning houses toe silk, viz., at Lyons, Nismes, Avignon, and St. Etienne, and one at Rheims for wool. That of iLyons is the most import an t, an d b r i ngs an i ncome to the Chamber of Commerce of that city of as much as 60,000 f. per annum.

Our list includes : 201,717 dole. by the Arabia, from New York ; 500,000 dohs. by the Hum boldt, from New York, of which, however, nearly the whole was for the Continent; 1,621,886 dole. or 324,3751., by tho Orinoco, from the West Indies, of which 135,915/. was in gold, 3,3081. in British coin, 127,5541. in silver coin, and 57,0791. in silver bare; 1,9101. in silver by the Severn, from the Brazils (be sides 40,0001. in diamonds); 17,000 ounces of gold by the Melbourne, from Melbourne; 550/. by the Iberia, from Gibraltar; and 5,733 ounces of gold by the Joshua, from Port Philip. The total value of the arrivals for this market may be stated at fully 480,0001. The silver brought in by the Orinoco, amounting to 184,6001. will merely pass through this market. _ _ The exports have also been large. The Custom house statement of the shipments of the precious metals direct from London during the week end ing Thursday last is as follows—Gold coin : To Hamburg, 1,017 ounces; to Sydney, 86,3001.; to the Mauritius, 3,0001. Gold bars: To Boulogne, 15,350 ounces. Silver coin : To Belgium, 246, 0 04 ounces; to Boulogne, 930 ounces; to Sydney, 3,0001. Silver bars : To Bombay, 83,000 ounces ; to Bou logne, 1,400 ounces. This gives a total of 16,367 ounces and 89,5001. in gold, and 333,330 ounces and 3,0001. in silver, representing an aggregate value of nearly 240,0001. The large export of gold coin to Australia must have taken place at the latter part of last week, as no shipments of such magnitude have been made to that quarter this week. The ship ments of silver to the continent consist of the sup plies by the previoas West Indian and Mexican mail. We also hear of the undermentioned exports, viz., 14,0001., by the Walmer Castle, for Sydney; 171,684/. by the Bengal, Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, for Alexandria, of which 57,9561. was in gold, and 113,7281. in silver; 50,0001., in silver, by the sailing vessel Bengal, for Calcutta; 3001. in silver, and 4,8101. in gold, by the Magdalena, for the West Indies (besides 3,4901. in jewellery); 30,000;. for Lisbon, and 4,0001. for Gibraltar, by the steamer Tagus; and 4,0001. by the Faith, for Africa. The total shipments from the kingdom for the week are thus raised to 518,0001., and consequently . show an excess over the imports of nearly 60,0001. Of the shipments, however, 250,000/. may be distinctly classed as silver. We have during the latter part of the week taken occasion to draw attention to the subsidence of the demand for Fold for the continent, and to the cessation of the damn to Australia. The prospectus was to-day issued of the " Medi terranean Electric Telegraph Company," with a ca pital of 7,500,000 francs (300000, in 30,000 shares of 250 f. (10/.) each. The object is to carry the tele graph, which now runs uninterruptedly from Lon don to Genoa, to Spezzia, then crossing the Mediter ranean to Africa rid the islands of Corsica and Sar dinia. It is further proposed to carry a subterranean line from Algeria, along the coast of Africa, to Alex andria, after which the sanction of the British go vernment and the East India Company will, it is stated, be asked to carry the wires to Bombay. A further possible extension of the system by this route to Australia is even referred to. A few short years, or even months back, such a project would have been scouted with derision, bat practical science is now-a-days making such rapid strides that a dif ferent reception will probably be accorded to it. The sum of 300,0001., it is estimated, will suffice to carry the line from Spezzia to the borders of Tanis (as guaranteed by a contract). On 180,000/. of this sum 4 per cent. interest is stated to be guaranteed by France, and on 120,000/. 3 per cent. interest by Sardinia. During construction 4 per cent. interest will be paid on calls. The privilege of the company extends for 50 years. Five thousand shares are reserved for England, the remainder of the cei•ital having been already s , l'oscrlbed fur. Vor an Wen • sion of the line furlner capital will have to be raised, COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK LANE.—THIS DAY. The arrivals of foreign Wheat and Flour during the past week have b.?en large; and the weather during the same period has been highly favourable for the growing Wheat plant. oar market was well attended this morning by distant Wilsat buyers, and the trade has at length assumed a more healthy tone, and purchases could certainly not be made upon so favourable terms as last week.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY. ° The brisk trade of Monday last has caused an increased supply of Bests to-day, consequently there is a great effort on the part of the buyers to reduce prices, and owners being unwi:::4s to submit, several remain unsold. Prices on the avtr.,ge are lower, but in choicest qualities there is Lot much reduction. There are a few more Sheep and Lrrubs, lsowever the demand is adequate, still in some cases prices are rather lower. Choice Calves are scarce and dearer. From Germany and Holland there are 606 Beasts, 1,000 Sheep, and 171 Calera ; Scetland, 460 Beasts ; Norfolk and Suffolk, 3,000 Beasts ; and 200 from the Northern and Midland Counties.
