MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoox.
In the Stock Exchange to-day attention is
almost exclusively directed to the completion of
the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks. The funds remain at the prices which were
current yesterday afternoon. English railway stooks,
in two or three instances, are slightly lower. In
;be foreign stock market prices generally are well
supported, except as regards Turkish Consolidds,
which have fallen ; the chief feature is a consider-
able rise in Spanish Certificates.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentea opened at
68fr. 45c., being sc. lower than yesterday.
Consols are now quoted 92 to 1, ex div., for
money, and 921 to 1, ex div., for the account
(July 9). The official business report is as follows :

and have risen considerably, being last marked 134
and 121. The Passive Bonds, as well as
Mexican, are also better. Italian and New
Granada "ex all " Bonds are inquired for.
Greek, after being sold as low as 351,
are quoted much the same as yesterday afternoon,
at 361 to 4. Turkish Consolideis have fallen 4 per
cent., being quoted 503 to 4, and the Loan
of 1862 is dull at 701 to 711, while that
of 1858 is steady at 691 to 701 ; and
that of 1854 better, at 92 to 93. Venezuela
Bonds of 1862 are rather firmer, at 564 to 574.

Only a trifling amount of gold-3,0001.--was
sent into the Bank yesterday.
The Edmund Graham has arrived from Mel-

bourne with 75,5001. in gold.
The steamer Shannon, from the West Indies,
has brought as much as 793,0001. in specie ; of
which 542,0001. is silver and 251,0001. gold. The
Mexican dollars represent about 340,0001., and are a
much smaller supply of this coin than was expected.
The tone of the market for Mexican dollars is con-
sequently decidedly firmer, but there is au absence
of business, further news from Japan being rather
anxiously awaited. A large portion of the oxten-
I sive supplies of this coin recently sent from
England to Shanghai, was in reality destined for
Japan. Bar silver is fiat, at 50. ld. to ss. lid.
per ounce, there being no inquiry whatever for
the East.
About 56,0001. of the bar silver by the Shannon
is from the mines in Mexico of the heal del Monte
Company. About 1,500,0001. in bar silver has
been received from the mines of this company since
October, 1880.
The Union Bank of Australia invite tenders up
to Friday, the 10th of July, at lo'clock, for 25,0001.

1001. each, and become due the Ist July, 1877
It is reported that the Hudson's Bay project will
be announced through the International Financial
Society at the end of the present week.
The 1,000,0001. of capital of the Scinde Railway
Company, for which subscriptions have recently
been invited, may be regarded as virtually all
placed. The 350,0001. of Scinde Railway shares
will doubtless be taken by the existing proprietors
in view of the premium at which the stock stands
in the market, while the 150,0001. of Scinde
Railway Debentures, and 500,0001. of Panjaub
Railway Debentures, have been fully subscribed.
As regards these latter issues theexisting proprietors
have an option in the event of their making appli-
cation at once.
A circular to the shareholders in the London and
South American Bank (Limited) intimates that the
directors have made arrangements for commencing
business at Lima, where there is no establishment
of the kind at present. The company's officers left
by the last West India mail packet for their desti-
nation. In view Nf this early commencement of
business, a call of 21. per share has been made. The
directors state that they continue to receive assur-
ances of success from persons well acquainted with
the proposed locality of the company's operation..
From a circular recently issued to the share-
holders in the Standard Bank of British South
Africa (Limited) we make the following extracts :
By the articles of association the directors are empowered
to Uses 15,000 'bares, which they have thus appropriated :
—let luaus of 5.000 'harm to orignial allottece; 2od issue of
5,000 shares offered to, and accepted by, the holders of the
first issue ; 3rd issae of 5,000 shuns aleorbed by the amal-
gamation of the Commercial Bank of Port Elizabeth, fcc..
And they now propose. under your emotion, to make •
fourth issue of 5,000 shares, to be employed in acquiring
the bueinees of two or three of the mioor banking cetablish-
menu in the South African Colonies, the arrangements for
the amalgamation of which are already far advanced. The
result of this the directors feel assured will be the consoli-
dation of the Standard Bank upon au extended but 'unites.
tial basis, alike beneficial to its present shareholder. and
profitable to those of such institutions as may be amalga-
mated with it.—l remain, Sic., W. F. SALIM& SIC

MINES.--(THIS DAYJ

Two o'CLocc:

will be concluded to-day, there is little business
going forward in the mining market. Bast Caradon

21, being dull ; Drakewall, 11 to 2 ;

Cobre Copper shares have been dealt in at 33,
being firm. Banta Barbaraare dulL Other foreign,
as well as colonial mines, are without variation.
The Cobre Mining Association have received
further advice' with respect to the important dis-
covery recently made in their "great mine" in
Cuba. The company's manager, writing on the
7th of June, states that the accounts with regard to
the lode in the 120 crosscut are still more flatter-
ing, and that there was a great improvement
in the lode going west. A transvoree section of the
lode has been forwarded to the offices of the com-
pany from Cuba. It was proposed to prosecute the
driving of the two upper levels, and at least one
level below, so as to open the lode as soon as pos-
sible ; and it was anticipated that rich ores
would be met with in the upper levels, as was the
case on the north lode west of the slide. It is,
perhaps, not forgotten that the shares of this com-
pany were dealt in some years ago at upwards of
701. per share.
