MONEY MARKET.-(IBIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoow.

The stock markets to-day are generally steady.
The funds remain at yesterday's quotations. Pre-
parations for the settlement in Console continue to
engage some attention. Home railway stocks have
not varied much. Metropolitan stock continues in
demand. As regards foreign bonds, Greek have
declined, while Mexican have risen. Business in
bank shares is less active, yet still large.
Console are now quoted 911 to; 1 for money and
to-morrow, and 911 to for May. Trpusaztions are
recorded as follows :—Three per Cent. Console, for
money, 911, 1 ; ditto for present account, 914 ; Three

ex div. ; India Stock, 218, 220 ; ditto, Five per
Cent. Stock, 105 ; Exchequer Bills, 75., 3s. dip. ;
India Bonds, 45., 3s. dis.

Telegrams from Paris announce an important
statement in the Moniteue to the effect that the
Archduke Maximilian will receive the Mexican
deputation on Saturday next, and leave for
Mexico on the following Sunday. Mexican Bonds
have accordingly risen 6 per cent., being now
quoted 456 to 1. Greek are Ito worse, at 241 to
; Spanish Passive steady, at 35 to 6 ; and Con-
federate 1 per cent. better, at 52 to 54. Turkish
Bonds of 1858 are firm, at 69} to 70, and those of
1862 at 716 to 724. Transactions are recorded as
follows :—Brazilial Old 5 per Cents., 102, 104, ex
div. ; ditto, 1863, 886,1, ex div ; Egyptian, 100 1, ;

There vies a good demand yesterday at the Bank
of England Discount-office. In the general market a
fair amount of business was done, and, pending the
release of the dividends, 6 per cent. continues to be
asked on good bills. In the Stock Exchange, as
usual just prior to the dividends, the supply of
money is rather limited, and the terms for short
loans on English government securities today were
6 per cent.
No bullion transactions were reported at the
Bank yesterday. Sovereigns are expected to be with-
drawn, however, for transmission to Brazil by the
steamer of the 9th inst. No gold has been sent
into the Bank during the week, but 97,0001 has
been taken out for export.
The steamer Great Britain has arrived at Liver-
pool from Melbourne with 244,5001. in gold, which
will be sent to the Continent, the demand for that
quarter being strong.
The Mexican dollars by the last packet were sold
yesterday for China at be. 31d. per ounce, being id.
lower than the price obtained for the previous
remittance. In the interval very little business
has occurred. The market for bar silver is quiet,
' and the price for bars unaltered at 58. lid.
I The bindings for 40,00,000 rupees (400,0001.) in
bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of
England. The proportions allotted were—to Cal-
cutta, 22,24,000 rupees ; to Bombay, 16,00,000 ru-
pees ; and to Madras, I,76,ooorupees. The minimum
price was as before, viz.—L. llid. per rupee on
Calcutta and Madras, and le. llfd. on Bombay.
The applications within the limits amounted to
426 lace (4,200,0001). Tenders on Calcutta at 2a.
will receive about 18 per cent., and above that price
in full ; on Bombay, at 2e. Old., about 76 per cent.;
and on Madras at 2s. Old. in full. On the last
occasion the applications within the limits reached
only 2,300,000 L, so that a considerable increase in
the demand for remittance to India is indicated.

Several new projects are announced. The most
important is the "international Land Credit Com-
pany (Limited)," the capital of which is fixed at no
less than 8,000,0001., with a first issue of 6,000,0001.,
In 300,000 shares of 201. each, but the force of this
announcement is greatly diminished by the fact
that 250,000 of the shares are subscribed for on the
Continent, only 50,000 being reserved for this
country, and of these only 35,000 are now offered
to the public. It further appears that the actual
money demand upon the market will, after all, be
unimportant, the prospectus stating that "there
will be two calls of 2/. each during the present
year, after which it is not expected that further
calls will be made." The board of directors, both
in England and on the Continent, is very respect-
ably composed. The project is introduced by the
General Credit and Finance Company, two of
whose directone--viz., Mr. George Worms and Sir
8. A. Donaldson (the former being the chair-
man)—.re on the board. The other English
names ate Lord Robert Cecil, M.P., Colonel
the Hon. Patrick Talbot, and Sir James Emerson
Tennant. The founders of this company have
previously established societies of a similar kind in
Belgium, Holland, and Austria, all of which are
highly successful, the " Banque Hypotbecuire
Beige" having paid a dividend of 111 hares on
shares with 150 francs paid. The object is, broadly,
to place bonds, &0., on the money markets of
England, France, Holland, Germany, and Belgium,
and employ the proceeds in purchases of laud or
loans upon real property. With the "Banque
Hypothecaire Beige" a complete fusion has been
effected, and a treaty has been concluded with the
" Banque de Credit Fonder et lodustriel" of Brus-
sels, by which " a minimum dividend of 11 percent.
on the paid-up share capital is secured in any event
se the result of the first year's working."
Another new project is the " Telegraph Con-
struction and Maintenance Company (Limited)."
The object is to unite the business of the Gutta
Percha Company with that of Messrs. Glass,
Elliot, and Co., thus combining the two estab-
lishments which have hitherto had the principal
share in the manufacture of submarine telegraphic
cables. The company's business will be to make
sod maintain telegraphic lines of communication in
every part of the world. The names connected
with the undertaking are of the highest respecta-
bility, the board being composed as follows—viz. :
Mr. Henry F. Barclay (of the Gutta Perch& Com-
pan;), Mr. Thomas Brassey, Mr. Alexander H.
Campbell (of Finlay. Campbell, and Co.), Mr.
George Elliot (of Glass, Elliot, and Co.), Mr.
Alexander S. Finlay, M.P., Mr. Richard A. Glass
(of Glass, Elliot, and Co.), Mr. Daniel Gooch, C. E.,
Mr. Samuel Gurney, M.P., Mr. John Pender, M. P.,
and Mr. John Smith (of Smith, Fleming, and Co.).
The personal superintendence of Mr. Barclay, of
the Gotta Pendia Company, and of Mr. Glass, as
managing directors, is arranged for. The broken
are Messrs. Seymour and Co. and Cazenove and
Co. The capital is 1,000,0001., with a first issue of
750,0001., iu 37,500 shares of 201. each.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 7,8061. over
last year ; the Great Eastern a decrease of 1,776/. ;
'the London and South Western an increase of 8381. ;

the Great Northern an increase of 4,4341.; :11,1 the
Great Western an increase of 3,0511.
We understand that the dividend to be an-
nounced at the meeting of the Antwerp and Rotter-
dam Railway Company, on the 28th instant, will
be 12ft franca per share.
It is intimated that on Monday, the 18th instant,
the head office of the But London Bank will be re-
moved from No. 124, Fenchurch-street, to No. 40,
Lombard-street, where on and after the above data
the business will be carried on during the building
of the bank in CornLill.

The following paragraph, relating to the newly
announced "English and Foreign Credit Com-
pany," has been forwarded to us for publication :
The prospectus of the English and Foreign Credit Com.
piny, which has appeared in the newspapers of this day,
having been inberted prematurely before the arrangements
for the formation of the company were formally enrupleted,
the directors have determined to withdraw it for the
present.
A special meeting of the shareholders of the
London, Hamburg and Continental Exchange Bank
(Limited) is called for the 21st inst., to autl.orise
the directors to issue the remaining 5,000 shares of
the present capital.
A call of V. 10s., making 7/. 10s. paid. is to be
paid on the shares of Munta's Metal Company
(Limited) by the 10th of May.
The first general meeting of the South Kensing-
ton Hotel Company (Limited) will be held on the
14th inst.
It is notified that the interest warrants are now
ready for delivery to the shareholders of the Medi-
terranean Hotel Company (Limited).
Formal notice is given that a petition for the
winding up of the lice Hotel Company (Limited)
is to be heard before the Master of the Rolls on
the 14th inst.

We are informed that the allotment letters of
the City Offices Company (Limited) were posted
last evening to upwards of 1,590 applicants.
The subscription hat of the Oriental Financial
Corporation will be closed to Loudon applicants on
Monday next, the 11th instant, and to those from
the country on Tuesday, the 12th. It is imituated
that " arrangements have been made by which
one of the directors who has resided many years in
India, will proceed there by an early mad to carry
out the necessary arrangements for the commence-
ment of business operations."
The share list of the North Australian Company
will be closed to London applicants on Tuesday
next, and for the provinces on Friday, the 15th inst.
With reference to the market for American secu-
rities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaito reports as follows :
Transactions in London in Amensus securities bass,
during the past week. been few and unimportant ; the ten-
dency of prices is towards lower quotations, coeaequent
upon the increasing premium on gold lately reported from
New York. The time expires to-day for application for the
Second Mortgage Bonds of the Atlantic and Groat Western
Railroad. Nearly all the holders of the First Mortgage
Bonds have exercised their privilege of subscribing for the
second, in addition to which, large application. have bees
sent in beyond the amount to be allotted ; the price of the
new is steady at Id to premium.
With reference to the paragraph given yesterday
relating to the stoppage of Mr. Thomas Freeman,
timber merchant, we are requested to state that his
suspension in 1861 was only a temporary one, and
that all his creditors were then paid in full.
Some attention has been directed during the last
few days to the rumoured formation of a company
having for its object to facilitate blockade run-
ning in the Confederate ports. A copy of the
prospectus has come into our hands. It is said
that of the present proposed capital of 200,0001.
certain firms or parties have put down their names
for one-half, but it is questionable whether any
importance is to be attached to statements of this
nature, seeing that—doubtless from prudential
motives—not a single name is attached to the
"prospectus," and that the " oompany " abstains
even from stating publicly where its odice is.

Wenersnar Emmen.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 91+ to fi
both for money and Friday's settlement,
opened and closed to-day at the same quotation.
For the May account the last price was 91Uto
