MONEY MAREET,--(THIE DAL)

Two o'CLoos.

The stock markets to-day are better. A number
of investments in the funds have caused a rise of
I per oent., and the more favourable movement
extends to the other departments of the Stock Ex-
change. Several of the speculative foreign stocks
are higher, especially Spanish Passive. As
regards railways the advance is for the most part
confined to South Eastern.

The discount market is quiet, with a large
amount of money seeking employment for short
periods. The general rate for the best three
months' bills is still 9 per cent., although
exceptional transactions are reported at 81. In the
Stock Exchange the supply of money is super-
abundant, and the charge for short loans nominal,
at 4 to 5 per cent.

is in the watch and diamond trade, but is said
to have been connected with Messrs. Croskey

turday. Aalregards the assets, an unfavourable
impression is entertained.
A concession has been granted by the Chambers
of Bucharest for the construction of a system of
railways for the principality of Wallachia, starting
from Rustcbuk on the Danube, and Mr. Rumball
has just despatched a staff of engineers to make the
necessary surveys on behalf of the capitalists en-
gaged in the enterprise. Besides opening up the
large and productive agricultural regions bordering
on the Black Sea, these lines will be of commercial
importance to Western Europe, inasmuch as, in
connexion with the line in course of construction
between the Danube and Varna, they will constitute
llthe shortest route to Constantinople and the East.

proximo.

The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 20th
inst., for the supply of 2b,000 bushels of wheat.
The following financial memoranda are from the
Levant Herald of the 31st August :

It is earnestly said that a Credit ionise Company will b
established here shortly, and that it will be powerfully
supported not only in Europe but also in Turkey ; oo
doubt the establishment of such an aiwociatioe would
be advantageous to the government, end that them is a
floe field for its operations no one can doubt. Although
several propositions have been made of late to the imperial
'overstates with a view to the negotiation of a loan, we
have reason to believe that nothing has yet been dome in
this respect, there being an indisposition on the part of the
government to increase its liabilitim until absolutely geese
mry. We are informed on the best authority that ►he go-
vernment decree for the conversion of the Ow•Seaalika into
a enesolidated 5 per cent stock, with a sinking fund of
1 par mot., will be mootiaidered, and we have reason to
believe that in all probability the interest will be advanced
to 6 per cent.
