As usual at this period of the quarter, the supply of money in the discount market is diminishin& and the rate for the best bills is consequently firmly maintained at 4} per cent. The charge for abort loans in the Stook Exchange is 4 per cent. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 67fr. 65c., being } per cent lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 881 to 1 for money, and 80} for the account (April 6).

The purchase by the government broker yesterday consisted of 20,0001. New, and 10,0001. Reduced Three per Cent. stock. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were again firmer, and as regards Paris and Hamburg the rates showed a movement in favour of this country. Bills on Italy were also more offered, and the rates were higher. The list is subjoined : Ametervism, 3 mouths, 11.19 to I ditto, 3 dye, 11.161 to 174 ; Rotterdam. 3 moods, 11.19 to 4 ; Ant werp, 3 months, 25.45 to 50 Hamburg, bacon. 3 mouths. 13.8 1 to 9 : Paris, 8 days, 26.171 to . 25 ; ditto. 3 months, 25.45 to 50; FranMort-ort-the-Mame, 3 mantis, 1201 to f Peteastaug (per rouble), 3 months, 31 to f ; Vienna, stir flo.. 3 months, 1L45 to 50 ; Triads. sE. 60., 3 months, 11.45 to 50: Madrid. 3 months, 474 to ; Cadiz, 3 months. 474 to I ; Leghorn. 3 moethe. 25.55 to 60; Genoa, 3 months, 25.55 to 60; Milan, 31 months, 35.55 to 60 • Naples.. 3 months, 25.55 to 60 ; Palermo, S mo uths. 25.55 to 60 Menne, 3 =oa ths, 26.55 to 60 ; Lisboa. 1011 days. 514 to f ; Oporto, 90 days, 514 to 4- a The whole amount (1,200,0001.) of the East Indian Railway Company's Five per Cent. Deben ture Loan was subscribed for Monday, and the list closed. The full amount is to be paid by the 22nd inst., and it is probable that the magnitude of this demand may have some temporary effect upon the money market, especially as it occurs so near the end of the quarter, when the ordinary payments on government socount are heavy. At the adjourned half-yearly meeting of the Vale of Ds eath Railway Company, to be held on the 21st inst., the directors will recommend the de claration of a dividend on the ordinary stock and shares, for the seven months ending 31st January last, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. The prospectus of the South of England Waggon Company (Limited) is issued. The object is to extend to the south and south-western districts the class of business which has for some time past been in successful operation in other parts of the country. The company does not propose to construct its own waggons, but will purchase its stock from ' well-known builders. It is mentioned that " from I an agreement which has been made with a well known manufacturing firm in very extensive busi ness, the directors can rely on a minimum return of 7} per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital of the company." The capital (subject to increase) is 200,0001., in 10,000 shares of 201. each, with a first issue of 6,000 shares, of which 11. is to be paid on application, and IL 10s. on allotment. A general meeting of the Australian Mortgage, Land and Finance Company (Limited) , is convened for the 24th iust., to declare a dividend, and will be made "extraordinary," to confirm " a resolu tion of the directors se to the issue of the further capital authorised by the articles of association, and to provide for the appropriation of the shares of such further issue with nsfereuoe to an agree ment entered into by this company for taking over an important financial business." The Master of the Rolls has appointed Mr. Quitter, of Moorgate-street, to be the official liqui dator of the Alexandra Park Company. The subjoined memorandum is from the Man chester Warehouse and Office Company (Limited): The directors of the Manchester Warehouse and Office Company (Limited) bare concluded negotiations for the ass of the extenaive warehoture premises now occupied FSamuel Mendel, Eq., in Portland-street, Manchester. is acquisition pleas the company in the receipt of a fixed income of upwards of 2,5001. per annum.
