MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two *Must.
The stock markets at the resumption of bu-
siness this morning, after yesterday's holiday, were
a good deal prejudiced by the rise in
the Bank rate of discount, and by the
generally uncertain prospects of the money
market. Prioes opened at a general and rather
severe fall. From this there has since been a
partial recovery, and the markets are now steadier
than they were at the opening, but prices gene-
rally are quoted worse than on Saturday. The
fall in the funds, however, scarcely exceeds I per
cent. Home railway stocks have declined fto f
per cent. Foreign stocks, with the exception of
Mexican Bonds, have borne the shock with a good
deal of steadiness.

Consols are now quoted 921 to 4, both for money
and the 4th inst., and 93 to for the new
account (December 3). The official business re-
port is as follows:-Three per Cent. Consols, for
money, 921, 4; ditto, for account, 921; Three

now quoted 291 to 1. Mexican, after being sold
at 404, have returned to Saturday's quotation of

potted at 35 to 4. Turkish Con-
solidi% are only h lower, at 491 to 50 ; ex
div., while Anglo-Turkish Bonds are steady, those
of 1854 at 92 to 93; 1868 at 70 to 4 ; and 1862
at 71 to 4. Italian and Egyptian stooks have receded.

The advance in the Bank rate of discount
is not likely to have any bad effect : on the
contrary, considering the strong inclination which is
evinced for large commitments in the shape of
new enterprise, together with the decidedly un-
favourable tendency of the bullion current, the
majority of prudent persons will be disposed to
regard the step as likely to have a salutary and
conservative effect. In the foreign direction the
influences operating to disturb oar money market
are of a twofold character. First, there is e
heavy demand for gold for account of the Bank of
France. The most recent advioes affirm that that
establishment is still losing specie. In this case it
will probably find itself under the necessity of
raising its rate of discount from 5 to 6
per cent. The causes of the French drain
are various. Amongst the most prominent are
payments for cotton, the expenses of the military
expeditions in Mexico Rome, and Cochin China,
and of the troops in Algeria, as well as the demands
in connection with the large amounts of new stocks

and &hares, including the Italian Loan, taken by
French capitalists. But the demand for money
abroad is not confined to France, most of the other
continental markets being similarly affected. This
may arise in part from the generally increased
activity of trade. As another cause of disturbance,
though one having a less general effect, it may be
mentioned that large amounts of silver are under-
stood to be in course of transmission from Berlin to
St. Petersburg.
The second leading cause of the demand for
bullion appears to be the payments to the sew
cotton countries. The American supply being
entirely cut off, and the rise in the price of cotton
enormous, a great stimulus has naturally been
given to the cultivation of this in India,
pt, Brazil, and many other countries, to all of
w 'eh specie must be sent from this aide in pay.
meat, there being no corresponding demand for our
goods, as was the case in America. To the large
increase in the demand for both silver and gold for
India and gold for Egypt attention has repeatedly
been celled. The effect is seen even iu yesterday's
operations at the Bank, where 40,000 i. in bar gold
was withdrawn for the continent—probably to
pay for silver for India—and 120,000 sovereigns
have also been taken out for Alexandria—probably
to pay for Egyptian cotton. This withdrawal of
167,00 W. in gold has, it is believed, contri-
buted to yesterday's decision at the Bank. It
is also understood that large amounts of gold will
be sent by the next outgoing mail to Brazil—
another new cotton field—wheuoe the exchange
comes very unfavourable for this °pantry.
In view of these considerations, and also of the
only moderate amount of the Bank reserve, the
directors are doubtless justified in their present
course. Whether the rise in the value of money
here will proceed farther depends to a considerable
extent upon the condition of the Bank of France,
and upon the question as to whether that establish-
ment will have to take auy additional action. As
we have reported for some days past, the bulk of
the gold which reaches this country is bought up
for the French Bank as fast as it arrives. The
demand for the means of specie remittances to other
quarters is consequently thrown upon the Bank of
England, whose metallic store may thus yet be
touched upon to some extent.
The annexed notice, relative to the transfer books,
has been issued from the Bank of England :

gold ship known to be now at sea.
Two more new companies, framed upon a scale
of mnnitude, have been announced. One is
the Merchant Banking Company of London
(Limited), with a capital of 2,000,0001. sterling, in
20,000 shares of 1001. each, but with a tint issue
limited to 10,000 shares. The company has a board
°proposed of highly respectable and practical iner•
amide Haines. The clam of business to be carried
on, briefly described as that of " merchant bankers,"
in really what hail long been conducted with mimes
by many of our mercantile firma. It es to a
considerable extent of the character op foreign and
colonial banking, but embraces some features which

involve the operations of the merchant rather then
the banker. The company, it is explained,
" will grant negotiable or other credits, by and
upon their foreign agents, to importers of prodess
in this country, on the oontineot of Europe, and is
America." They will also make advances on the
manufactures of this country under documentary
bills, or consigned to their agents abroad, fur soak
periods as may be necessary to realise the sale el
such goods. They will undertake to execute orders
for produce through their agents abroad ; and they
will further undertake "the monetary agency of
foreign and colorial gorernments, and other (*insti-
tuted public bodies." Depoeite at interest will be
received by the company in London, and employed
through their agents abroad, the intention being at
the same time to avoid costly foreign establish-
ments. There is no promotion money. It is net
proposed to call up more than 251. per 1001. share.
Another nee undei.aking is the London and
Caledorian Marine Insurance Company (Limited).
The capit .l in this case is 5C3,000/. (with power is
increase to 1,0C),0001.), in 20,000 shares of
each, the deposit being fixed at 1/. per share on ap-
plication and 21. on rllotment. The direction con-
sists of two boards, one for England and one for
Scotland, both being respectably constituted. It
is explained that this company is formed to supply
the want of a new memo insurance company for
Scotland, where a number of the first films have
already promised their support to the undertaking.
It is intended to haves head office in London, and
offices in Glasgow, Greenock, Dundee, and other
Scotch towns as well as at Manchester, where like
support has been secur:d. It is mentioned that,
"provision having 1 ien made by the directors for
the preliminary expenses, the company will be
cxurod against the payment of any promotion
money," and it is aeded that more than half the
number of shares bare been already applied for.
The brokers in London are Sir R. W. Csrden and
Son.
