MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoct.

The stock markets opened this mordng
with more steadiness, but there has since
been a renewal of agitation. Home railway
securities and the speculative foreign bonds
are now quoted at a moderate reduction from last
evening's prices. The funds are barely so good as
they closed yesterday, but the reduction in Consols
scarcely reaches } per cent.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Rental's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted
66fr. 05c., being nearly i per cent. worse than
yesterday.

Consols are now quoted 84 to 90k, both for
money and next Thursday's settlement, and 94 to
k for March. The official business report is u
follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 891,
90, 89/, 901 ; ditto, for account, 891, 90 ; Three per

tions. Greek, Mexican, Spanish Passive, and Turk-
ish Conaolido% are now quoted Ito per cent. lower

___

The majority of yesterday's sales appear to
have been for account of weak speculative
holders, but a strong disposition has at the
same time been evinced to press speculative
sales, and the effect of both these operations
must be to place the market upon a firmer basis.
Even bank shares have not escaped the effects of
the general depression, although, as need scarcely
be remarked, the profits of the majority of these
establishments, as well as of most of the other legi-
timate projects of the day, cannot be interfered with
by the present state of foreign politics. Moderate
amounts of gold continue to be oarried to the Bank
of England, and the position of the Bank of Prance
is stated to have improved considerably, but public
securities are at present solely regulated by the
course of foreign politics. The one question
which has absorbed attention is—ls the entry of
the Austrian and Prussian troops into Sleawig to
be regarded as the preliminary of a settlement of
the points in dispute, or as the first of a series of
steps leading to a general European embroilment 1
There was a good demand for money yesterday in
all quarters, including the Bank of England,
owing partly to preparations for the bills maturing
on the 4th, and the rate for good paper was not
below 8 per cent.
The annexed notification has been issued from
the Bank of England :

About 10,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
yesterday. Some sovereigns may be withdrawn
in a day or two for Alexandria.
The outward packet for the West Indies will take
14,0001. in gold.
The Africa, from Boston, has brought 11,7941. in
specie. The Magdalena, from Brazil, has reached
Lisbon with 19,2211.
About 242,5001 in gold is now on the way from
Melbourne to ringland The Suffolk (out 86 days)
has 115,5001. • the Water Nymph (oat 72 days),
56,0001 ; and the Omar Pasha (out 70 days),
740001.
It appears from the official report of the French
Minister of Finance, on the new loan, just pub-
lished, that although he admitted, concurrently
with specie and for important subscriptions, the
direct deposit, as a guarantee, of rente of the State
and of Treasury bonds, the sums actually paid in
as deposit reached 230,000,000 francs, or 9,200,0001.
sterling. It is no wonder, therefore, that the
French money market was rendered tight while
this gigantic operation was in progress. From the
day following that on which the list was closed—
i.e., on the 26th January—the minister authorised
the reimbursement of nine-tenths of the sums paid
in by subscribers for 3,000 f. of rente and upwards,
and this is doubtless the cause of the easier appear-
Luce of the money market reported in recent
advice& The negotiation of the loan altogether
must have added materially to the resources of the
Bank of France, u will doubtless be shown in the
next return of that establishment, to be published
on Friday week.
The Committee of the Stock Exchanga.have ap-
pointed Friday next a special settling day in the
shares of the Canadian Loan and Investment Com-
pany (Limited) and the Mauritius Land Credit and
Agency Company (Limited), both of which are to
be officially marked.
The proposed dividend on London and South
Western Raillery stock is officially announced at
the rate of 51 per cent. per annum, and that on
Dublin and Belfast Junctiou Railway stock at the
rate of 4 per cent. per annum. The dividend in
the former ease for the corresponding period of
1862 was at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and
in the latter 4.
The first ordinary meeting of the London Finan-
cial Association took place yesterday. The
accounts show a clear profit of 28,7651., out of
which a dividend and bonus equal to 15 per cent.
per annum (18s. per share) were declared, free of
income tax, leaving 10,2401. to be carried forward.
The chairman, Mr. Hackblock, remarked that the
chief feature was that the profit earned was nude
week by week by sound, legitimate, and every-day
business, and not by adventitious and extraordinary
circumstances, and there was every reason to expect
its eoutinuance. The new issue of shares (20,000)
will be distributed pro raid amongst the existing
shareholders at 41 premium per share. The amount
of premium (80,0001.) so realised is to be set aside
to form the nucleus of a reserve fund. From the
Ist of October next, when there will be 151. per
share paid up on each clam, the two issues. ill rank
equally. Mr. J. LC. Koch, hitherto the general
manager of the company, relinquishes that politica
so take his mat as the board as &direst:4r.

The following is from the report to be .übmittoi
by the directors of the Universal Marine Insurance
Company to the fourth annual meeting, which will
be held on the 11th February :

The directors have to submit to the shareholders the ac-
companying annual statement of the accounts<f this corn-
posy, closed on the 314 December, 1863, and embracing at
the company's transactions to that date. It is shown by
these aceocate that the net receipts of the pa.t tear for
premium, after deduction of all brokerage, disecatota, and re-
turns of premium, and of the expense of redosurances effected
by the company, amounted to 252,7621. ifs. i d.; while, os
the other band, the sum that during that periodircaire dna
sod has been paid out of the company's fan& for the &Oat-
meet of claims, woe 169,2061. la. 83,5621. 7s. 7d. remasned
therefore u net balance on the underwriting account 111
favour of the company on the 31st December last, and a
further rum of 4,4031. Bs. 7d., for interest to that date, has
also been received. From these soarers of revenue the in-
vestments of the company, which were shove by the per
Mena year's accounts, laid before the shareholders, to have
been on the 31st December, 1862, 91,11421. 9s. 10d., have is
the interval gradually ittemesad to 162.60 WV. Is. l al., while
also the large amount of 127,9011. 9a. then at the charge
of income and expeedithis amount, has oow diminished to
53,7151. 2s. 10d. In offering to their fellow shareholders
their coogratulations upon these gratifying results of the
badness of the past year, and the improvement that has
taken place in the general position of the company, the di-
ricZors point with unqualified satisfaction to the testimony
borne by the accounts which they now present to the
ur'aterrupted and large amount of confidence reposed in the
company.
