MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'Cwoz.

The Bank of England Directors have to-day raised
their minimum rate of discount to 61 per cent. The
effect of this announcement upon the English

funds has been a further decline of 3 to
to a per oent. Consols for the 12th inst. ruled
at 871 to' during a portion of the morning, and have
since declined to 871 to 1. For money the present
quotation is 87i. Exchequer Bills have been dealt
in at 4e. to le. die. ; Exchequer Bonds at 98; to 99 ;
and India Bonds at 2a. die. to par.

Foreign stocks are heavy. Turkish Six per Cents.,
have filled to 831 to 1; the new Four per Cent.
Guaranteed Scrip to 21 to 2i discoun'; and Buenos
Ayres Bonds to 53 to 55. Spanish Old Three
per Cents. have been dealt in at 38; ditto
New Deterred Three per Cents., 191; Russian Four-
and-s-Half per Cents. at 88 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 741 to 75 ; Chilian Six per Cents.

Cents. at 99 to 99i ex div. _

Asa feature of the Stock Exchange yesterday, it was
noticed that railway guaranteed stocks were heavy,
and difficult of sale. This fact is significant of the
state of the money market.
Any gold that may arrive under present circum-
stances is expected to be at once absorbed for account
of the Bank of France. Considerable sums, it ap-
pears, had their way to Vienna.
Owing to the sustained demand for silver for India
and China, the amount of specie end bullion shipped
on board the Ass, which leaves Southampton
for Alexandria today, is no less than 505,8594,
of which 65,4381. is in gold, and 440,4211. silver.
The destination of these heavy sums is shown below,
viz.: For Alexandria, gold, 31,4171 ; for Aden, sil-
ver, 3,4721.; for Bombay, silver, 123.2041.; for Cey-
lon, gold, 7,1001.; Madras, gold, 1,6201., and silver
11,0731.; for Calcutta, silver, 184,5121. • for Penang,
silver, 3,5171.; for Singapore, silver, 6,2001., and gold
2881.; for Hong Kong, gold, 25,0151., and silver
66,671/.; for Canton, silver, 35,0911. ; and for Shang.
hai, silver, 16,6791.
The Atrato has taken out for the West Indies,
&c., 5,1201. in silver and 2,5401. in gold—in all
7,6601.
We regret to have to announce the failure of the
old-6 a' ablished house of Messrs. Delisle, Janvrin, and
Delisle, of 16, Devonshire-square, Bishopsgate. This
firm have been reputed of high character, and have
carried on a considerable bueiness for many years as
commission merchants, chiefly in connexion with
British North America, the Emile, the Channel
Islands, &c. Their determination to suspend, it is
stated. has been adopted in spite of the fact that they
have a_ present in hand available assets to the
amount of about 100,000/. Foresee log, however, a
very heavy loss, owing chiefly to advances to the
house of Messrs. Le Mesurier, Tilstone, end Co. of
Quebec, and considering other liabilities, it has been
deemed more just to all parties concerned
to suspend payment at once. With regard
to the Guernsey and Jersey Hanks, for
which they are agents, arrangements have been
made with their bankers, Messrs. Hankey, who will
interfere for the protection of all bills drawn by the
banks on Me sea. Deli le, Janvrin, and Co., for the
honour ol the drawers. This failure was the more
unexpected as the house were generally lenders of
money, and, not being in the habit of burrowing upon
credit, owe nothing to their bankers, in whose hands,
as already stated, they have a large balance. The
liabilities are es'imated at present at about 400,0001.
The corn market yesterday was quiet, at last Mot-
day's rater. The supply of home grown corn at mar-
ket was small, and from foreign ports the arrivals
into London since Monday comprise only 2,686 qrs.
of oats, 1,440 sacks of flour, and no wheat or barley.
At ports of call there have arrived since Mon-
day only three cargoes of wheat from Egypt,
and one of maize from New York. The de-
mand for flour for France and for barley for Holland
is slacker. Old kilo-dried Danish oats are in demand
for government contracts, and the price for such sorts
is dearer. In floating cargoes several transactions
are reported since the close of Monday's market, and
more business would be done it suitable cargoes could
be met with, but the choice at present is much re-
stricted. It is satisfactory to notice that in France
the price of corn and flour continues to show a down-
ward tendency. The price of flour in Paris, which
recently reached 120 f. (equal to 78s. per 280 lbs.), is
now 108 f. (or 70s. per 280 lbs.).
The seine market yesterday was flat ter, and rather
easier prices were occasionally accepted.
