MONEY MARKET.

THUUDAT
The English stock market opened this morning
at the final range of yesterday, but closed at a fall
of # per cent., owing to sales to realise the profits
accruing from the late marked rise, and to an in-
creased demand for money in connexion with the
Stock Exchange settling in stocks and shares. A
sale of 100,0001. omnium in the morning, and a feel-
iog of disappointment in some quarters at the non-
reduction of the Bank of England rate of discount at
to-day'. Board, assisted the downward tendency,
which is perfectly natural, after the recent material
advance. In the Stock Exchange money was worth
2/ to 3 per cent, on government securities.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Renter expe-
rienced an unfavourable reaction of about 1 per cent.,
owing chiefly to speculative sales. In the Fenr-and-
a-Half per Cents. the fall was more considerable.
At Vienna the Austrian funds show flatness; and,
although the exchange on London has receded to
12.16, the premium on gold is maintained at 32 per
cent., and that on silver at 29 per cent.
Consols were first quoted 93k to 1 for the 10th
July, and gradually receded, closing at 921 to 1. For
mosey the final quotation was 9nto 1. The official
—business teport is as follows :—Three per Ont.
Consols. for money, 921, 921, 1, a, ?, ; ditto, for ac-
count, 10th July, 93, 931, 921, 93, 921. Three per

during the morning between 43 and 41 prem.,and was
last quoted 41 to 41 prem.

turday next.

India Bonds, 19s. to 22e. prem.
Three o'clock on Saturday next is the latest period
allowed for sending in the June Exchequer Bills for

The foinign stock market remained firm, with the
chief business in Turkish, which ranged between 831
and 811, and closed strongly at 821 to 831, in spite
of several sales of some amount. Buenos Ayres Bonds
were in demand, at 59 to 60, being a further advance.
Land and bask shares to-day were generally
fairly supported. Netherlands Land, Berlin Water-
works, and the new shares of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company were firmer. Canada Land shares
were firm, with transactions at 120 to 121. General
Screw Steam shares were dealt in at 141 to 1, being
