746 Iflneg arh►et anb tit FRIDAY EVENINO. THE demand for money in the Discount Market has experienced a considerable increase during the pre sent week. This result has been long anticipated, owing to the influence of the new loans, as well as the continued drain of bullion to the Continent and the East, which even the large arrivals from Aus tralia were insufficient to meet. On Thursday the Lombard-street houses gave notice of an advance of ;.per cent. in the minimum of their rates for dis count on the best bills, and at the same time have found it necessary to raise their allowance of interest on money deposited with them " upon call " from 21 to 21 per cent. Notwithstanding this comparative scarcity of money, the Funds continue to be well supported, although speculations remain still very inactive. The weather just new constitutes the chief subject of in terest, and cases of fluctuation on 'Change and the partially fine days that have occurred since Monday have been followed by a restored buoyancy in the quotations. The daily oscillations have been, in Consols—Saturday, 901 j ; Monday, 901 1; Tues day, 901 911 ; Wednesday, 91; Thursday, 90j 1. To day there has been a marked improvement in the market, and Consols have been quoted nearly per cent. firmer, there being alternate buyers and sellers at 01j. Reduced Three per Cents. were 91j; New Three per Cents., 921 ; Bank Stock, 214; India Bonds, :11s. prem. ; Exchequer Bills, 20s. to 245. prem. for June bills, and 19s. to 225. prem. for the March issue, 100 j. The average stock of bullion held by the Bank of England in both departments during the month ending the 7th of July was 17,958,0901., being an increase of 641,6821. as compared with the previous month, and of 4,145,0561. in comparison with the same period last year. The stock of specie held by the Scotch and Irish banks during the month ending the 7th of July was 3,690,5671., being an increase of 15,9411. as compared with the previous return, and 284,8001. above the corresponding period last year. SHARES. Early in the week some extensive Bear operations Idere accomplished in the stocks of several railways, especially North Westerns and Great Westerns. These resulted, of course, in a considerable decline in the quotations, and were based, ostensibly, upon reports touching the rate of the forthcoming divi dends. Subsequently, however, a recovery has taken place, and this afternoon the general aspect of the Share Market is firm, with a marked advance in most of the leading lines. The Scinde Railway Company have paid into the treasury of the East India-house the sum of 72,0001., making, with previous payments, a total of 247,0001., upon the whole of which the guaranteed interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum accrues. By the agreement entered into with the authorities, no pay ment whatever need have been made until the 2nd of September, yet nearly half the company's capital is already paid up, with a view to securing the guaranteed interest. FOREIGN. The chief incident in the Foreign Market is the unparalleled success of the new French loan, the sub scriptions to which are reported by M. Magne, the Finance Minister, to amount to 3,600 millions of francs, or 144 millions sterling, exclusive of many lists still to come in from distant quarters. Of this total, the subscribers for under 50 francs of Rentes, whose requests are to begranted without diminution, are stated to have demanded about ten millions sterling. The English lists comprise about 600 million francs, and it is stated doubtful whether the subscribers will receive any allotments. The scrip of the new loan has been already quoted on 'Change at 2} to 3} premium. Transactions in Turkish Bonds continue to be numerous. The stock has touched 91} during the week, but has since fallen, and to-day remains steady at 90i for money. South American Securities have also been much dealt in at improved rates. BANK OF ENGLAND.
