MONEY MAREBT,-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Oaoai.

Owing partly to the continuous influx of gold to
the Bank, a generally better feeling prevails in the
stock and share markets to-day, and prioes
have advanced in most instances. English
railway stooks are in especial request, and have ex-
perienced an important rise. Consols have also im-
proved i to / per cent., and the favourable movement
extends to foreign securities and bank and finance
shares.

The demand for money is moderate to-day, and
the supply large, yet there is no disposition at the
moment to transact business in the best three
months' bills below 9 per cent., the;Bank minimum.
In the Stock Exchange the charge for short loans
has receded to 6 to 7 per cent.
The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have
not yet oome to hand.

Consols are now quoted 88 to 1 for money,
and 88? to f for the account (October 11).
The official business report is as follows :- -
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 871, 88 ;
ditto, for account, 88k, 88, 1; Three per Cents.

stock, 1031 ; ditto Four per Cent., 96 ; Exchequer
Bills, March, la, 4s. dis. ; ditto June, 15e. , 13s.
dia.

The foreign stock market is better. Confederate
bonds are in prominent request, and have risen 21
' per cent. Turkish of 1858 and 1862, Consolidds,
Spanish Passive and Certificates, Mexican, and
Greek have also improved 1 to 1. Subjoined are
some of the present quotations :—Turkish, 1858,
681 to 1 ; ditto 1862, 694 to 70 ; Consolidis,
501 to 1 ; Greek, 234 to ; Spanish Passive, 31

Consols are unaltered, at7BB to f for money, and
881 to; for the account (Oct. 11).
The settlement on the Stock Exchange, after the
late severe decline in the prices of most kinds of
securities, bas necessarily been a difficult one, and
has resulted in the failure of three members
of the house—viz., two brokers and one dealer. In
the two former cases the failure is stated to be
owing to the default of some of their principals
who were unable, in the present state of the mar-
kets, to raise money to meet their engagements.
There is, however, good reason to anticipate, in
at least one ease, a favourable liquidation.
' On the whole, the settlement is considered to have
passed off satiafactorily.

A large portion of the recent gold arrivals from
New York and Melbourne was taken to the Bank
yesterday, viz., 102,0001.

The tendency of the exchanges yesterday after-
noon was favourable to this country, bills being

The Bootie has brought 67,0001. in specie from
New York.

The quotations of exchange just received from the
East by the French mail steamer exhibit move-
ments in favour of England, with the exception of
the exchange at Calcutta, which is unaltered. At
Shanghse a decline of apparently no less than 20.
has occurred. At Canton the reduction is Id., and
at Bombay id.
Owing to the absence of demand for the East,
the silver market is flat, at 5a lid. per ounce for
bats.

On the continent the value of money is gill in
most cams greatly below that current here. At
Paris the rate is 6j per cent. ; Vienna, Hamburg,
Amsterdam, and St. Petersburg, 6 ; Frankfort and
Brussels, lik ; and Turin, 74 per cent.
Another failure is announced through the stop-
=the Leeds Banking Company, viz., that of
Early and Smith export clotiers, of
lioundeditcb. Their liabilities are computed at
about 80,0001., and a satisfactory dividend is looked
for. The house has been established about half •
century, and its credit was good until recently.
The circular issued to the creditors is subjoined

Houndaditch, export clothiers, have bees compelled to sus-

The suspension is also notified of Moors. Hall
and Jones, sugar-brokers, of Liverpool. The
liabilities in this case will probably reach 500,0001.,
but a favourable liquidation is anticipated, as will
be seen by the subjoined circular, which has been
issued to the crediton :

The interest on India Bonds is raised from 4 to
5 per cent, per annum, dating from the Ist OCtober.
The foreign stock market was dull in the morn-
ing, and though more firmness was observable in
the afternoon, the closing quotations were still, in
many cases, below those of yesterday. Confederate

—but at one period were as low as 60 to 61.

the other hand, Brazilian Bonds of 1863 improved

and Egyptian Trading to I to f prem. National
Discount fell about 11., and Joint Stock Discount
have descended to Ito Of din Discount Corpora-
