MONEY MARKET.

THURSDAY EVIINIXO.
The Consol market opened firmly this morning,
but after it became known that the Bank board had
made no change in the rate of discount, stock was
more freely offered, and prices closed at a slight
reduction. In the railway share and foreign stock
markets, however, the feeling of the dealers was
strong throughout the day, and it does not appear
that the soundness of the security markets is at all
affected by the prudent adherence of the directors to
their present terms, az the confidence generally
shown is founied upon ths flourishing condition of
the general monetary and commercial affairs of the
country.
Consols opened 981 to for money, and 98: to 1
for account, and after receding to 981, closed at 96
sellers for cash, and 981 buyers for the 13th Aprtl,
being a shade worse than they left off yeste
The government broker again inveb'ed at 981.

amount as was expected, comes in confirmation of
remarks previously offered by us, and will give re-
amed activity to the bullion market next week.
The said business list embraces Consols only, at

Buenos Apes Bonds were again some 3 per
cent. higher to-day, the price advancing to
81. There was also a decided movement
in Venezuelan and Peruvian. Possibly our
readers may require reminding that Peruvian Active%

mentation of 1 per cent. till April, 1853, after whirl

Bonds were steady. It appears from the proceedings
at the meeting of Sir John Fitzgerald's committee
to-day, that that body will continue its labours

The committee of Mexican bondholders have received
letters, dated Mexico, the 3rd ult., from Mr. Brenan, the
gentleman in charge of the interests of the bondholders in
Mexico during Mr. Faleonet's absence, announcing the
several amounts which have come forward from the Cue-
tem-honaes, in conformity with the arrangements entered
into between Mr. Faloonnee and the Mexican government,
and handing a copy of the communication from the Finance
Minister of Mexico, notifying officially to the Treasury of
as Whington the assignment of the last 280,000 dais., in
addition to the former assignment for the 2,500,000 &b.
A fair amount of business has been done in United
States securities this week, at about former prices.

The total receipts upon the corresponding lines
being 189,0141. , against 174,6791. in the same week
of last year, the increase shown to be 14,4361. or
81 per cent. The number of miles open on the
above lines is this year, 4,0971, against 3,9701 last
year, showing an increase of 1261 miles, or 3 per amt.
The aggregate average return per mile per week is
this year, 461. 2s. 7d., agapist. 431. 19e. 3d. in 1861,
so that the difference remains in favour of the present
year to tho extent of 21. 3s. 4d. per mile per week.
The return of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Com-
pany has been particularly good for some time put,
generally averaging 2,0001. above that of last year,
a circumstance that has doubtless tended to bring
this stock into increased favour on the Stock Ex-
change. The Midland, Eastern Counties, Brighton,
and -South Eastern, returns are also extremely
favourable.

THIS DAY.

Two o'Czocz.
The prico of Consols is well supported, though
little business is doing in this department to-day,
attention being diverted to the foreign stock and
railway share markets, in which extensive
transactions have taken place. Consols opened a
shade flatter, at 984 to for money, but have since
returned to yesterday's rate of 961 to both for
money and the 13th April.
Foreign stocks are very firm, and Peruvian and
Venuezelan are again higher. Peruvian Actives mark
105; to 1081; ditto Deferred, 61 to 1. Venezuela*
Actives, 4434 to 47; ditto I)eferred, 18} to 19. Gre-
nada Actives, 241 to 26. Mexican, 324 to I. Buenos
Arlan, 784 to 80.
