MONEY MARKET.

TUESDAY EVIIININO.
Eadijat;.-.ns still continue to offer in the English
stock market, the rise of Consols to par being consi-
dered by many as affording a good opportunity for
1" getting out " of their stock and the market has
to-day closed at a further decline of j. Consols
opened at yesterday's range of 991 to 3 for cash, at
which they were supported for some time, the
government broker investing at 991, but sales were
subsequently made, for cub, as low as 991, and the
price closed only 993 to 3

Foreign stocks were also flat. Buenos Ayrean
Bonds fell from 1 to 2 per cent.; Sardinian receded
from yesterday's rates; and Mexican showed a down-
ward tendency, especially after the regular hours of
business. Spanish stocks were scarcely supported. A
notice was issued in the Stock Exchange that, on the
settling of the Spanish Committee's Certificates of un-
hada coupons, those who are not prepared to deliver
them shall (if required) pay the differences of price
up to that day, but that these certificates shall not be
brought in until a resolution to that effect shall be
passed by the Stock Exchange Committee. The

The following notification was posted up in the
Stock Exchange to-day:
Notice.—An application having been made to mark " the
Spanish Three per Cent. Interior Debt," the committee
will meet specially on Friday neat, the 23rd inst., to take
the same fate consideration.—(Signed) G. Wass, Sec.
This application confirms our remarks as to the
introduction of these local Threes into the London
Stock Exchange having been always a pet idea of
the Spanish government. The decision of the com-
mittee will, of course, be governed by the re-
quirements of Stock Exchange business, and the
rules of the house. Considering the position in the
market of the Certificates issued by the Spanish
bondholders' committee for the half of the coupons
confiscated by the late decree of the government,
which aro now worth 21. 10s. per cent., and consi-

confiscation has been adhered to, it is difficult to per-
ceive what new claim the Spanish government can
have for placing their home stock on the London

Amsterdam was more freely taken than of late, and
was done at 12.11 to /. Hamburg was negotiated
at 13.10/ to 11; ditto, short, at 13.71 to 8, the wide
margin being due to the high rate of sto 61 per
cent. discount now ruling at Hamburg. Frankfort
advanced a shade, leaving off at 122. Amongst
Italian places, Leghorn was in demand at 30.76 to
771. DIV!. on Spain were dull, but bills on Lisbon
were done in favour of sellers. The rate on Vienna
and Trieste did not fuotnate today, remaining as last
