MONEY MARKET.---(THIS DAY.)

Two o'OLooz.

The stock markets to-day have been unusually
quiet. Some hesitation has prevailed amongst the
speculators in consequence of uncertaioty sst to
whether the Bank of England rate of
discount would be raised to-day, but, the weekly
court having broken up without announcing any
change, the markets are now steady. The funds
remain at yesterday's prices. Foreign bonds are
dull, while home railway stocks are rather better.
The dealers are chiefly occupied with the fort-
nightly settlement.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted
66fr. 76c., being sc. better than yesterday.
Consols are now quoted 901 to 1 for money,
and 91 to 1 for the account (Feb. 4). The official

per Cent., 991 ; ditto Bonds, par.
Foreign stocks are generally quoted the same
as yesterday, and, apart from the settlement, very
little business has been done. Some of the present

solider, 464 to 1 ; Greek, 24 to 1 ; Mexican,

The steamer La Plata, from the West Indies, has
brought 353,000/. in gold and silver. The amount
of specie by the African mail steamer Armenian
is 7,0001.
The demand yesterday for oar silver for the East
was again extremely strong, and an important ad-
vance (about id. per ounce) took place, the last price
being ss. 2411. to se. 24d. A heavy amount has been
bought for transmission by the Bombay and Cal-
cutta steamers from Marseilles on the 18th and
19th inst. respectively, as well as by the Calcutta
packet from Southampton on the 20th. As the
supply here is very inadequate, a large sum will
have to be imported from the Continent, and gold
will probably be sent from this side to pay for it.
The amount of government bills on India, for
which tenders will be received at the Bank of
England on the 20th inst., is 40,00,000 rupees
(400,0001.)
