MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAL)

Two o'Ciocz.

The funds to-day are dull. Consols axe quoted
barely so good as they closed yesterday, but the
price is scarcely a fraction lower. The other mar-
kets are likewise very dull and inactive, and in some.
owes a drooping tendency is observable. The set-
tlement in sharesand foreign stocks has commenced.
The scrip of the new Turkish Loan has re-
lapsed to 2} to 2} prem. ; and that of the Egyptian
Loan, to to 11 prem.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at
70fr. 12c., being fractionally better than yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 94k, 931, 94k,
and 94 for money, and 94k for the account.
The present quotations are 931 to 94 for cash,
and 94 to k for the Bth of May. The
official business report is as follows —Bank Stock,
237 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, 1, },l; New
Three per Cents,, 921, k, ; Thirty Years Annuities,
1885, 181; India Stock, 226, 228 ; ditto Five per
Cent. stock, 1081, 1, 1 ; Five per Cent. " en-
faced " rupee paper, 1021 ; Exchequer Bills,
18s. preen.

Foreign stocks are quiet. Mexican has fallen,
being last marked 321, for money. The Spanish
Certificatesare still rising, and havebeen purchased
es high as 8. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is flatter, at
84 to L ex div., while that of 1858 is quotedl7ol
to 71 ; Buenos Ayres Bonds are inquired for.
Sales are recorded as follows : —Brazilian Old
Five per Cents., 1001, ex div. ; ditto
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1880, 921; Buenos
Ayres Six per Cents., 94 ; Dutch Four per Cent.
Certificates, am ex div. ; Italian Five per
Cents., 86* (exchange, 25fr.) ; Mexican Three
per Cents., 33f, 1, 321 ; Peruvian Four-and-
s-Half per Cents., be ; Russian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents., 931 ; Spanish Three per Cents.,
521, 53f, 621; the Committee's Certificates,
71, 1,8; Turkish Six per Cents., 1864, 801, ex div.;
ditto Six per Cents, 1858, 701, 1 ; ditto Gua-
ranteed Four per Cents, 1021,103 f.
As it was considered very desirable that, after
the questions which have been raised, the position
of the Egyptian loan should be examined and pro-
nounced upon by the highest authority in such mat-
ters—the Stock Exchange Committee—that body
went into a full investigation of the matter yester-
day, instead ofdeferriug it until the period when the
usual application for the appointment of a settling-
day would come before them. Mr. Giischen, of the
eminent firm who act as Loudon agents to the loan,
was present, as was also Mr. Freahfield, the solici-
.tor. After full explanations had been given, the
committee unanimously came to the following re-
solution, which stamps the position of the loan in
the Stock Exchange beyond further cavil : " The
attention of the committee having been drawn to an
ambiguity in the wording of the prospectus of the
Egyptian Loan, Mr. Giischen, the agent for the
contractors, and Mr. Freshfield, their solicitor,
attended to give all necessary explanations, and it
is the opinion of this committee that the explana-
tions so given by these gentlemen were perfectly
satisfactory."
The final instalment of 20 per cent, fell due yes-
terday on the Moorish Loan of 428,0001. sterling,
brought forward on the 13th of January last.
Only a small amount of gold-B,oool.—was pur-
chased by the Bank yesterday. The 241,0001. by the
Great Britain reached London yesterday, and is ex-
pected to be taken to the Bank after being refined.

The position of the market for American secu-

dition of trade, an addition of nearly equal amount
was made to the private deposits. Thu reserve is
thus scarcely trenched upon at all. Thecoin and bul-
lion have increased, notwithstanding the with-
drawals of coin usual at this season.
