MONEY MARKET-(7711S DAL)

Two o'CLoct.

The funds to-day are decidedly heavy, the
lees favourable appearance of the money market
having occasioned a number of sales. A fall of
per cent. has taken place. In the share and foreign
stock markets the settlement has formed the chief

business. Foreign securities—with the exception
of Italian Five per Cent& and Great Luxembourg
shares are rather flat. In English railways very
little movement has occurred.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rental opened at
70fr. 80c., being without change.
Turkish Loan scrip is quoted 21 to 2/ prem. ;
Egyptian, lf to 11 pron., being lower ; and Rus-
sian, to Prem.
Console are officially marked 931, I, and 4, cuss
div., for money, and 921 and 92, ex div., for
the account. The present quotations are
IN to I, cum div., for cash, and 911 to 92, ex
div., for the 10th of June. The official business
report is as follows :—Three per Cents. Reduced,
911, , ; New Three per Cents., 911, 1, I ;
India Stock, 2271, 229 ; ditto Five per Cent.
Stock, 1091, 108/ ; ditto Four per Cent. Deben-
tures, 1883, 100 ; Five per Cent. " enfaoed"
rupee paper, 1031, ; Exchequer Bills, lErs., 14s.
prem.
Foreign stocks are rather fiat. Mexican and
Spanish Certificates, amongst others, show a
drooping tendency. Italian Five per Cents. are
the best supported. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is
quoted 80 to 1, and that of 1858, 70 to 1.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Brandian Old
Five per Cents., 100} ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 1852, 1858, 1860, 921 ; Buenos Apes

At the Bank of England yesterday the demand
was active, and of that general kind which is
ordinarily experienced when an impression gets
abroad that an advance in the rate is becoming
probable. On all sides loans are being called
in, and in some quarters the prevailing
and, apparently, somewhat exaggerated feeling
of uncertainty respecting the future course
of the market causes lenders to refuse to go on at

the moment on any terms. Although the foreign
engagements lately contracted will unquestionably
produce a certain effect on our money market, the
firmness of the exchanges forms a reassuring
feature. A rise in the Bank rate of

discount to 3 or 31 per cent. would bo
hailed with satisfaction by many persons of
judgment, since it would not interfere with any
legitimate operation, whether commercial or finan-
cial, while it would exercise a protective influence
on the money market, by discouraging a promis-
cuous influx of new loans and other schemes.

A further parcel of 100,000 sovereigns was with-
drawn from the Bank of England yesterday for
transmimiou to Turkey on account of the new
loan. There were no transactions in bullion.

The continental exchanges yesterday afternoon were
firth. As regards Holland the rates were rather
more favourable for this country. Subjoined is
our usual list :

Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.181 to j ; ditto, 3 days'
11.16 to 6 ; Rotterdail: months, 11.186 to 19 ;

The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was quiet.
As regards American, prices showed a drooping
tendency, but Surat descriptions were firm.
The Sydney advicee mention that, as the fears
of a rapture between England and the Federal
States of America are now dispersed, the banks
have again reduced their rates, and the marine in-
suranco office. have reverted to the ordinal/ pre-
miums in time of peace.
At Sydney Messrs. Lotse and Larnach, mer-
chants, have failed through losses caused by ad-
vances on stocks and shares. Their liabilities are
estimated at about 70,0001. Mr. James Menzies,
merchant, has also stopped, with liabilities to the
amount of 17,5001., and meets 13,900 L
It appears that the promoters of a scheme put
forward in Melbourne for a monthy line of steamers
with England propose coming here for a portion
of the necessary capital, should the colonial govern-
ment grant the subsidy asked for.
The following is an extract of a private letter from
Sydney, dated the 19th March :
Don't sell or let say Sydney property until we know more
of the Lachlan Diggings, for it is now almost proved that
they are the richest ever yet seen. Last week the escort
brought down 11,500 on., and left 5,000 ors. behind.
At the first annual general meeting yesterday of
the Trust and Agency Company of Australasia the

ferred in favourable terms to the prospects of the

The quarterly sales of in..) Virgo commenced yesterday.
They consisted of 7,829 chaste, including 1,116
chests of old goods bought in at, or withdrawn
from, former sales' and 480 chests in second hands.
The following report is from Messrs. H. W. Jewee-
bury and Co. :
The sale opened quietly, and the biddings throughout
were not very animated. Good and fine desirable
ruled at about February males ; undesirable about 2d. to
per lb. lower ; oonsuming wets endnative, 4d. to Bd. lower ;
and Glides, BelL to 10d. lower. Madras of food quality,
went at last salsa' rates to rather above ; middling about
2d. to 4d., and ordinary about 6d. decline. Kurpah, of
very fine quality, sold at Felquary rates to rather under ;
good sold at par, but middling and ordinary sorts went at
4d. to 6d. decline. The attendance was moderate. The general
assortment of the Brae in inferior, there being but a small pro-
portion of good and fine Bengals,which trot* be found
pmsai-
ppaally amongst the old goods. The quantity of Madras sad
Kurpsh is unusually large ; the former,with the exception of
some few parcels, are very ordinary. The Kurpahs are
mostly ordinary and good ordinary, with a mark or two of
very floe. The Manillas are ordinary and very ordinary.
We estimate the proportion of the different sorts as foi-
-1 lows :—Beugsl one-fifth good and flue, and four-fifths
middling and ordinary. Madras one-sixth good and fine,
and five-sixths middling and ordinary. Kurpah one-third
rod and fine, and two-thirds middling and ordinary The
Manillas are all ordinary. 1,461 chests have pass to-day,
of which 273 were withdraw; 620 bought in, and 568 sold.
With reference to the presentation of a petition
for the winding-up of the United Kingdom Bctric

Telegraph Company, we are informed that the oar-
cumstanoes in which the petition has oritted are
not such as to render it in the least
:l
bable that the company will be wound up. The
presentation of the petition, we are assured, is
only in this cue a way of enforcing a disputed
claim.
