MONEY MARKET.

TUESDAY Eviamm.

The English stock market to-day was again heavy,
the aspect of affairs at Vi,nns, io conjunction with
the statement that the conference has been adjourned
for some days, being less favourably received. The
anticipation that our government will shortly require
a loan is also operating on the market, which is at
present mainly supported by the easy condition of the
money market. After • further fall of /percent.,
prices closed with more steadiness, but still j per
cent. lower than yesterday. Money stock continues
very abundant, and business extremely dull. The
rate of money in the Consol market is about 31
per cent.

The discount market continues quiet. Accommoda-
tion can be ()Major," on first-clue paper at 41 per
cent. The dividends will be payable to the public on
Tuesday next, and will further tend to ease the
market.

At Paris to-day the Three per Cents. closed rather
lower then yesterday, owing to a preponderance of
money sales. The pace fur the account, howevermas
a shade higher than yesterday. At Vienna thermals,
of the bourse is rather less confident, and the ex-
change on London has recovered from 12.06 to 12.09,
whilst the premium on gold and silver comes quoted
rather higher. At Frankfort, Austrian stock has
recovered SaturdWe decline. The Amsterdam bourse
is slightly Satter, except for Grenadian Bonds, which
continue to advance.
Consols opened at 921 to for the 11th instant,
receded to 921 to 1, and closed at 921 to a. For
money the closing quotation was 92j. The " eon-
tango" to the-new account of the 10th May was 3 16
to 5-16 per cent. The official business report is

Ralf per Cents. at 78.
Exchequer Bills declined le., closing at fn. to Bs.
prem. India Bonds mark 11s. to 14s. prem.
The foreign stock market was dull, with the chief
transactions in Turkish, which declined to 80, and
closed at 801 to 1. Other stocks were nominally
much the same as yesterday. At 4 o'clock Russian

The Amethyst, which sailed from Geelong in De-
cember, has arrived, but is not known to have any
gold on freight. With • favourable wind, however,
several arrivals from Australia may be shortly ex-
pected.

ampton on the 9tb, with the heavy portion of the
Overland Mail, has on board Australian gold-dust to
the value of about 40,0001.

Alexandria to-morrow, is 150,8771., of which 29,5741.

besides 5,6001. worth of jewellery.
The foreign exchanges this afternoon ruled much
the same as on Friday, the only change worth
noticing being a slight improvement in the rate on
Hamburg. BIN on Paris were in good demand, and
the quotation on that city consequently did not
recover from the decline of the last few days. At
present rates, however, there is no inducement to
ship gold to the continent. The transactions in bills
were -limited.

sugar went off with fair spirit, except for the very
low kinds of Mauritius and crystallised Demerara,
which were scarcely saleable.

dated the 3rd-15th March. It affords farther evi-
dence of the designing civility of the Russian govern-

that the Russians will permit the bee navigation of the
Danube only to Austrian vessels laden with breadstuff's, pur-
chased by Austrian subjects, prior to the prohibition of ex-
ports, provided, however, that such cargoes be destined for
Austrian porta in the Adriatic
