ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The general opinion that a rise in the bank rate is imminent has tended to depress business. The holders of continental securities were free sellers to-day, but lower prices had to be accepted. Rail ways shared in the general dullness, but no par ticular diminution in price has to be noted. Ame rican Securities are firm, the 5-20's having again advanced. The discount market is firm, and nothing can be done below 3 per cent. Consols are 92/ a for money ; ditto, for Ac count, 928 ; Three [per Cent. Reduced, 91/ 1 ; New Tkreo per Cents, 91/ 1 8 ; ditto 21 per Cent., Jan., 1894, 751 ; Bank of England Stock, 4 per Cent., 244.

In the railway market there is a rise of ; in London, and North Western, viz., to 113* to 1141. Great Western are 481 to 1 ; Midland, 1151 to / ; South Western, 88 to 90 ; Great Eastern, 371 to ; Brighton, 501 to 1; South Eastern, 75/ to 76 ; Metropoliian, 1061 to 1. A rise of 1 5 , per cent. has taken place in the 5-20 Bonds, viz , to 831 to 8 ; Erie Railway Shares, 24i to 251 ; Illinois Central, 97 to 1 ; Atlantic and Great 'Western Debentures, 311 to 321; and the C onsolidated Mortgage Bonds. 311 to 321. No bullion operations of importance took place yesterdcy at the Bank. Thr La Plata, from Brazil, has arrived with £ 41 ,600; the Saxouia, from New Orleans and Ilavana, with £1,454 for London, and £2,320 for Paris ; and the Dover Castle, from Melbourne, with £29,000. About £40,000 of bar silver, brought by the West India Packet, has been sold at ss. 01d., being a decline of Id. per ounce. The greater portion of this has been sent to the Continent, there being no demand for India. The address of General Grant to the American Public has given great satisfaction in the City. The determined attempt to sustain the credit of the United States, and the forcible appeal to support Order and good government, lead to the expecta tion that the future prospects of trade and finance Will be very favourable. The failure is announced of Messrs. John Lead better and Co., lined manufacturers of Glasgow, With bra nc h es a t B e lf as t an d D un d ee. Th e li ibi ilties are estimated at £BO,OOO. It is stated, how ever, that the branches will not be affected. Manchester advises report the suspension of Messrs. "Waterhouse and Kendall, manufacturers, of Stockport. The liabilities are believed to be considerable. The directors of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway have declared a dividend at the rate of 41 Per cent. per annum. Alessrs. Bischoffsheim and Goldschmidt have an nounced a 4 per cent. loan of £135,000 for the t he of the Suliva Navigation works at tile mouth of the Danube, guaranteed jointly and severally by France, England, Italy, Prussia, and T urkey, and redeemable by sinking fund between the lst of January, 1871, and the 31st of Decem ber, 1882. The issuing price is to be 1001, Which, reckoning accrued interest from the lac of January, will be equal to par. The subscription Will be opened at the Imperial Bank on Monday at 10. The opposition to the subscription proposed by the Societe G(incirale of Paris on the security of Part of the heavy amount they hold of Turkish Treasury Bonds seems so strong, on a variety of grounds, as to preclude the possibility of the loac being officially admitted to the London market. According to the telegrams from Amsterdam, the new Russian Railway loan brought out in that city and in Berlin is for £2,500,000 at a price equal to about 78. Although it will not be offered for direct Bubscription in London, its effect on our market will be nearly the same, since it will induce the Dutch and Prussian houses to sell their holdings of those Previous issues which are current on the Stock Ex eliange• With regard to the incessant character of th ese, loans it i s sugges t e d th a t i n goo d f a ith th e "ts.,:ian Government should feel the time has ar rived for so me pl e d ge as t o th e amoun t a t w hi c h t hey are to cease. The wants of Russia, however, ar e evidently so g r eat that instead of waiting for il er to pursue that course it would be well for capitalists to protect themselves by declining to ma ke further subscriptions under the certainty that the stock they take at a reduced price com pared with the existing quotations of previous by will in a s ho r t ti m e be in its turn depreciated Y a fresh issue.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, March 5. The Government has had a very uncomfortable time of it. When the amendment of M. Gueroult was rejected, it was fondly hoped that the contract with the Credit Foncier would be ratified, and that the Ministers would escape from the castigation to which they had been subjected. But the dream was vain. As I mentioned before, the rejection of the amendment settled the question of the contract, but still the Opposition managed to prolong the painful and harass sing debate. They endeavoured to reduce the octroi duties, and fought so persistently that at one time it was rumoured that M. Rouher would give up the contract, and provide the required money 'by a loan. lint, after a fortnight's utter humiliation and disgrace, the Government is now getting into smooth water. Yesterday the Corps Legis latif took a decisive step in the discns3ion. The first article of the law was voted by 184, 69 being in favour of sending back the loan project to 'the 'consideration of the commission. As the first article is the pons asinorum of the whole bill, the Government may now consider itself out of danger. The minority-69—is very considerable for the Corps Legislatif, and shows how deep is the impression made by the polemic victory of the Left. Several Imperialists voted with the Oppo- sition, and more than one urged M. Rouher to give up the contract, and substitute a loan. It was in fear of this result that the shares of the Credit Foncier have gone down so heavily during the last few days. If the public likes not M. Emile 011ivier, it is deeply interested in his book, The first edition vanished in a few hours, the second has followed, and already a third is required. All France will soon have read the Emperor's remarkable letter in which he expresses his desire to grant liberty to his people, but is afraid t'hat if he does it evil consequences will follow. This letter was, of course, not published without the Em. peror's permission. In short the position is something like this. M. Emile 011ivier proposes a plan of reform, and the Emperor accepts it, stating in an autograph letter that he is desirous of making concessions pro. vided it can be done with safety. He would like one series of concessions to be final, the edifice to be crowned ; for the appearance of granting liberty under the influence of fear would injure the prestige of the Crown. Yet when the reforms appear they are partial, meagre, and unsatisfactory. Is it probable that a letter in which the Eznperoi laid down a policy which has never been adopted would be given to the world without some ulterior motive ? I cannot persuade myself that this book is intended merely as a retrospect. On dit, that the publication was delayed on account of the frequent use of the personal pronoun " I." There were so many Je's in the manuscript, that the printers had not " j's" enough, and the book had to be stopped a week in order to get them. The Belgian Railway affair is not quite over. The law which passed so rapidly through the Brussels Chambers gave the Belgian Government the power to forbid any concession of the Belgian line to a foreign company. But the question is, how far will the Government use this power? Will it forbid the concession of the Luxembourg line to the East of France Company, which was the cause of all the recent hard writing in the• Paris papers? The Moniteur is informed that the French Ambassador has been instructed to prevail upon the Belgian Ministry to grant this concession. M. de la Gueronniere will be empowered to exercise much pressure in order to bring about this result. The Patrie has a milder version of this story, asserting that the French Government will endeavour to bring about a mutual understanding between the two countries. What sort of an understanding this may be I cannot well perceive ; fur Belgium must either refuse or grant permission for a French company to make use of its lines. The dispute does not appear to admit of compromise. Some neat things in the way of mechanical contrivances have been put upon the London stage, but seldom or never has anything been seen equal to the scenic effects in the " Madonne aux Roses," at the Gatte. There is an Italian landscape with sunlight, the peasantry dancing and the cattle lowing—a perfectly artistic group. Then there is a feast given by Cusar in his ducal palace, the magnificence of the last being represented with wondrous exactitude. Lastly, the banquet ends with the burning of the palace. Artificial flames are produced, the wood crackles, roofs fall in with a thundering crash, and pinna cles glow in wreaths of fire. Hundreds of burning objects —beams, pieces of the roof and wall-- are tossed about ; the reality of the picture is almost pain ful. The palace which is thus burnod takes six sours to put up. The stage is covered with sheet-iron. There has been lately discovered at Dax, in the Landes, within a few yards of the railway, a vast bed of rock salt, more than a mile in diameter and over a hundred feet thick. It lies at a small depth, and is of great purity. A company has been formed to work this treasure. The papers are full of reports of the Montauban poison ing case. All the accused except one have confessed their guilt. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. ZILIEOROLOGICAL BEFOETS. Extreme 37 6 39 36 38 39 w.x.w. 1 1 2 2 6 8 E.N.E. N.N.E. N.E. Z. N.N.E. N.

TRAINING REPORTS. -- --. , NOw•- KINGS CLERE. — Wednesday A hard frost, with a healthy morning.. Lictor, Miami colt and Blue Gown will be very fit by Northampt in, but I shall speak more fully of their c'.ances in my next. Thursday. —The Palmer led the Derby favourite, Pero Gomez, a steady canter of a mile and a half. Vagabond and Madame Eglantine filly, Wuife, and Blue Stockings, cantered nearly a mile and a half, followed by Rosicrucian, Masterstroke, Siderolite, and Mrs Quickley colt. After some wanting exercise they repeated the previous work, with the exception of Blue Gown, who led The Palmer and Pero Gomez a good three-quarter speed gallop of a mile and a half. Vaga bond and King Cophetua galloped nearly two miles. The fir:A-named I never saw go so well, the lad I eing unable to hold him. STOCKBRIEGE.—Sinca my last the following horses have been at wink Rice, Calcave:la colt, Lady Louisa colt, Yule Cake colt, Canning, Lord Chancellor, Demidoff, Roderick Dlm, Torment cult, Mount Pleas.tut, Cal 3 p Betty, Oossamer filly, Crucifixion filly, Lucy Bertram, Boxana, Dione, Figleaf, and Atonethent '' Cock of the Walk, Blucher, Itirdseeker, and Herald cantered on Thurs day, after having a dose of physic. At Warwick, in the Sweepstakes of 25 sovs each. we have Figleaf, Calypso, and the Grilled° colt in, but at the present I do not think either can heat Sister to Veda. In the Two Year Old Stakes, Figleaf, Calypso, Grillade colt, Stanhope, and Dioue aro in, and the same remark applies as to the other race, although I think one of them will turn out a good animal in time. EPSOM.—The result of the Liverpool running has proved that the estimate I made of Mr. Studd's horses was correct, as in your last Saturday's impression I told your readers L. S. D. would win the Molyneux Cup, and would not have Despatch at any price fur the Grand Naticnal, which I repeated again on Wednesday. I have been racing now for twenty-five years, and never did I know of an instance of a great, coarse-limbed horse like De spatch, with a head as long as the, pole of a coach, being able to stay four miles and a-quarter at anything like a pace. At Rugby on Monday, Ada and Aurifera are in the Gold Cup, and if Sir Charles Nugent trusts to Ada she will win. On Tuesday, Balder, Ada, and Gipsy Girl are in the Light-Weight Grand Military Sweepstakes, and here Sir Charles should again be about winning. MALTON.—Our City and Suburban horse, Consternation, is undergoing a strong , preparation for that ' event. The Whitewell team that are doing good work are Tara ban, War, Royal Oak, Kentish Fire, Thunder, Tolson d'Or, Silver Baud, Nobleman, Tama, Goldsborough, Vis countess, The Spy, Clipper, Barna Bimbo, Fee:a is, and Merry and Wise. Viscount, Westwick, My Lord, and Tarna are only cantering. 11 EDNESFO1tD.-1 know of nothing going to Rugby except Daring Dick, and I should think he will run pretty well, as he has beau well trained, both by land and water. Barnabo is in the Warwick Handicap, but I think he is not so good as he was. In the Trial Stakes at Warwick we have Orion engaged, and he will take his own part. Master Willie is in the Willoughby Cup, but I don't think he can beat Belfast. Barnabo is in the Hurdle Race, and your readers know his form. We have Official Assignee in the Two Year Old Stakes, but he is very moderate. Fan and Dick Turpin are engaged in the Steeplechase— both came to grief et Liverpool, but from what I can make out neither were hurt, and 1 fancy Fan will run well over this course. CHILTON.—At Warwick, on Tuesday, Virginia Creeper Vigilant, and Maid of the Mill are in th e H and i cap Hurdle ' Race. Vigilant won't ma, Virginia Creeper is very bad over hurdles, and the distance will be too far for " The Maid." Osprey, engaged in the handicap, is taking some rare gallops, and no horse can look or go better, and he is sure 0 take ala of beating. Mimes is doing well for the Tw9 Year Old Stakes, but he ha; to meet the clinking Sisler to Veda, and Squib, by Ox'ox:d out of ,iulpht,r, 1 am sure was a smart tiliy before she left ()baton. MIDDLERAM. —The frost con:lanes very severe in this quarter, and has neatly put a stop to all training opera tions, but the following horses have been cantering and trotting daily :—Dawsou's Tho Dean, Mandrake, Tom Bowline horse (4 yrs), Young Melbourne horse (5 yrs), Good Hope, Pretender, Lord Hawthorn, Thorwaldseu, Dementio, Argyle, Brother to Gener..l Peel, Miss Sarah colt, Drake's dun colt, Miustor Bell, Brother to Strafford, Tabouret, ard tho two Maid of Mashatn fillies; Fobert's Bracken, Fortunio, Vansittart,Mysotis, Netherwottd, Lady Henriette, Java, Nectarine, Guiu63 11, and Duchess of Athol; Osborne's \Veatherstar, King's Cross, Pomfret, Bard of Erin, Minaret, Lion, and a lot of two year olds. NEWMARKET.—The following horses engaged at War wick have been doing plenty of work. • Warwickshire) Handicap.—John Davis, Silenus, Clemenco, Mi.s Have lock, Cheltenham, Robespierre, and Border Knight are in, and Sileuus looks like winning. Wild Outs was put in physic on Wednesday last, and was out on Friday morn ing, and cantered twice about one mile. No horse can be looking and going better. Martyrdom, Rupert, Strath. nairn, Ryahwortb, Boulogne, and the lien:alone colt are all going on well. ILsLEy.—At Warwick, Belfast and First Emperor are in the Willoughby Cup ; th3y are both well and doing good work, and I fancy the latter will be the best, and will take a deal of beating if he rung. Hollandaise, in the Sweepstakes, is at Liverpool, and her form there your readers well know. We have lionti,!ur and Eugenie in the Two Year Old Stakes; 1 like the Qrst-named the best. Cap-a-Pie, Ligurian, Dick Turpin, Lady Ilyasso, Lady Beaconsfield, Athena, and others are well, and doing goad work for theft. engagements. Dalby and Viridis are well, and doing steady work. Plaudit arrived here on Tues day night to be trained by Dover, and did steady work this (Thursday) morning with the other horses, looking fresh and well. LAMBOURNE.-At Warwick, in the Willoughby Cup we have Vulcan engaged, but his running at Liverpool is no thing in his favour, and I cannot see that he has any chance of winning. This is all I can see engaged on the first day, and the rest of the races will be attended to in my next report. The following horses have done good work :—Kingsland, Lady Rosrhill, Defender, Lady Di ana, Rahab, Lounger, Aggravator, Phoebus, Miss Hawes, Th e Parson, Sunstroke, North Briton, St. Mungo, Crocus, Dis guise, Sunlight, Sunshine, colt by Marsyas out of Sym metry, Belladrum, and a lot of others that you shall know about in good time. Belladrum still keeps doing first-class work, led by The Parson. RICHMOND.—Since my last very little has been done by our lots, on account of the snow. On Tuesday, Elliott's had their usual canter, and then The Prior led Ladas and The Gleaner steadily two miles, while Caprera, Annie, and Annie Stewart went the same distanc3 gently. East Coist has returned home from Liverpool. FINDON.— At the Warwick Meeting we have in the Trial Stakes John Leech. On Wednesday, in the Two Year Old Stakes we have the Shunamite. Great War wickshire Handicap.—Sister to Vedette, Warrington, and the Vixen gelding, and they are all doing well. Our other handicap horses—Romping Girl, Hermitage, Cocoanut, Xi, Mermaid, the Plunger, the Ranger filly, Royalty, Auld Lang Syne, Glenmasson filly, and Saturnalia —are going on well, but the severe frost we had put a stop to their work, and most of them had to be exercised on the roads and the different straw beds.

UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.—PUTNEY, Satur day.—The Oxford and Cambridge University Crews were out for exercise this morning. At ball past ten the Oxonians took to their oars, end paddled up to the Chiswick Eyot, where they turned and came down on the ebb, their rowing being somewhat improved. The Cantahs went out at a little before eleven, and also proceeded to beyond Hammersmith Bridge before they turned. They also came down at a rattling pace with the wind and tide, their rowing more even than their adversaries.
