MONEY NARKBT.-(THIS DAY.)

I
,dd di 7zd

Two o'Cioez.
A fresh decline of 4 per cent. has taken place
to-day in the funds, owing chiefly to the
state of the money market. English rail-
ways are dull, but prices have scarcely
varied, attention being chiefly directed to pre-
parations for Thursday's settlement. Foreign stocks
were heavy at one period of the morning, but now
show more steadiness. Business in this department
is leas active.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renton opened at
69fr. 70e., being sc. lower than yesterday.
Italian Loan scrip is rather lower, at 13 to 11
prem. Confederate is without change, at 1 din. to
par, and Turkish at 13 to 24 prem.
Consols are now quoted 934 to 3, cum div.,
for money, and 911 to 92, ex div., for the ac-
count (June 9). The official business report is as
follows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 933,
4, 3 ; ditto for acoount, 911, 92 ; Three per Cents.
Reduced, 913, ; New Three per Cents., 913, 3, ;
New Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 76} ; India Five
per Cent. stock, 110, 1093 ; ditto Four per Cent.
Debentures, 1001 ; ditto Bonds, 20s. prem. ; Five
per Cent. "enfaoed" rupee paper, 1074 ; sad Ex-
chequer Bills, 2s. die.
Greeks Bonds, Turkish Consolidifs, and Vene-
zuela Six per Cents. are all flat to-day. Greek
Coupons, however, after declining, have recovered.
There have also been some variations in Mexican
Bonds, Spanish Passive and Certificates, all of
which are now steadier. Some of the
present quotations are annexed :-Turkish
1854 Loan, 884 to 89 ; ditto, 1858,
704 to 71 ; ditto, 1862, 713 to 72 ; the Con-
solidi% 644 to 3 ; Greek; 313 to 3,
being lower than yesterday afternoon ;
and Venezuela Six per Cents., 54 to 4.
Transactions are recorded as follows :-Austrian,
681 ; ditto 1859, 84 ; Buenos Ayres, 94;
Greek, 313, 4, 3 ; ditto Coupons, 143, 15 ;
Italian, 711, 3 ; ditto Marem mane Rail-
way, 791, 784, 80 ; Mexican, 361, 373,
37 ; Moorish, 94} ; New Granada, 163, ; Por-
tuguese, 1863, 493 ; ditto, 1862, 491, 4, 3 ; Russian,
1860, 91, 3 ; ditto 1862, 921, 931, ex div. ; Sar-
dinian, 881 ; Spanish Passive, 34, 3; ditto
Certificates, 12, 113, 121 ; Turkish, 1858, 701,
ditto, 1862, 721, 72, 4 ; ditto, for account, 714 ;
Venezuela, 234, 4; ditto 1862, 544, 54, ex div.
The shares of the International Financial Society
have been in great demand to-day, and are now
quoted 94 to 104 prem. Those of the London
Financial Association are steady, at 14 to 13 prem.
The demand for money yesterday at the Bank of
England was good, and an active business was done
in the general market, where the lowest rate for
choioe bills was 3 per cent., though many dis-
counters asked an advance. Under these circum-
stances a rise of f per cent. in the Bank of Eng-
land minimum will become probable should the
demand continue.
At Vienna on Saturday the Five per Cent. Me-
talliques rose 1 per cent., and the exchange on
London declined to 110.35.
The numbers are published of bonds representing
58,5001. of the Turkish Guaranteed Loan of
5,000,0001., which were drawn on the sth instant,
and will be payable at the Bank of England on the
Ist of August neat
The final instalment of 10 per cent., lea the
dividend, falls due on the Russian Loan to-day
(Tuesday).
Another auction of the foreign redeemable (Pas-
sive) debt of Spain is to take place at Madrid on
the 30th inst. The sum nominally assigned for the
purpose is 10,014472 realest or upwards of
100,0001. sterling, the fund having accumulated to
this amount through the persistent neglect of the
government to apply it to its proper object.
The Ellora will take to-day 39,5001. in gold
for Alexandria, and 17,2001. in gold and t 3,000/. in
silver for Bombay, making a total of 64,7001.
The prospectus has just been issued of
one of the most important undertakings ever
launched in this or any other market. h bears
the title of the " International Financial Society
(Limited)," and presents the most powerful combi-
nation of the kind known. The directors
are Mr. J. S. Morgan, of the firm of Peabody and
Co.; Mr. Herman Stern, of Stern Brothers ; Mr.
Robert A. Heath, of Heath and Co.; Mr. John
Fredk. Fleiniiiich, of Fredk. Huth and Co.; Mr.
W. E. Quentell„ of Frithling and Gtischen ; Mr.
Robert Benson, and Mr. Bouamy Dobree, jun.
The relations established with the Continent
are likewise of the highest possible influ-
ence, the society being in direct connexion
with the Credit Mubilier Societies of Paris,
Spain, Italy, and Amsterdam, and through
them with all the first bankers in those places. On
the face of the prospectus appear, amongst the
Paris names with which the society is identified
those of Messrs. Emile and Isaac Pereira, Hot-
tinguer and Co. Fould and Co., Fillet, Will, and
Co., Mallet Brothers, the Duke de Galliera, dre.
The combination is thus one of European weight
and importance, and must command immense in-
fluence, for there is no financial enterprise, how-
ever vast, which could not easily be carried through
by it.
