MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)
ADVANCE IN THE BANK RATE OF DIS-
COUNT.

Two o'Ctoci.

The directors of the Bank of England, at their
weekly meeting to-day, have raised the minimum
rate of disoount from 8 to 9 per cent. The
measure has taken most persons by surprise. It is
believed that the general condition of the Bank
accounts is not worse than it was last week, but
the directors are evidently actuated by a desire to
produce a decided improvement in it.
There is no increase in the demand for money
to-day upon the rise in the Bank rate,
and the supply is large. The quotation,
for good bills, however, is fully 9 per cent. The
charge in the Stock Exchange this morning for
short loans on government securities was 5 to 6 per
oent., but is now 6to 7, owing to the advance in
the Bank minimum.

The discount establishmente have not yet
announced any alteration in their rates for money
at call or at notice, and it is believed
in some quarters that no change will be made,
none having taken place on the last occasion when
the Bank rate was raised to 9 per cent.
The telegrams from the Paris Bourse have not
yet come to hand.

The effect of the Bank movement upon the stock
markets has been unfavourable. The funds have
fallen about g per cent. Foreign stocks and finan-
cial shares have also suffered. Home railway
stocks are comparatively steady. The general tone,
as we write, is heavier than at any previous period
of the morning.

Consols are now quoted 87 for money, and 871
to 1 for the new account (Oct. 11). The official
business report is as follows :—Three per Cent Con-
sols, for money, 871,1 ; ditto, for account,BBl,BB,B7/,
I. Three per Cents. Reduced, 851, 1, 1 ; New
Three per Cents., 84, ji, 1 ; India Five per Cent.
stock, 1031, i ; and Exchequer Bills, June, lris.
dia.

A general decline has taken place in the speculative
foreign stocks upon the Bank movement. The re-
duction, in moat cases, varies from Ito per cent.
Transactions are recorded as follows :—Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 61 ; Egyptian, 98, k,
ex div. ; Greek, for account, 23k, 241 t ;
ditto Coupons, for account, 10k ; Ita-
lian, for account, 66k ; Mexican, for ac-
°omit, 28k, 27k, ; ditto 1864, 25k,
26, 25k ; Russian, 1862, 88k ; ditto
1864, 89 ; Spanish Passive, for account, 31k ;
ditto Certificates, 131 ; Turkish, 1838, for ac-
count, 683, ex div. ; ditto 1862, for account, 701 ;
ditto 1001. Bonds, 701.

Fora o'CLocK.

Console are rather better, at 871 for money,
and 871 for the account. 25,0001. in gold bas been
sent into the Bank, and 73,000 sovereigns have
been withdrawn for Brazil.

The demand for money in some of the continental
markets in increasing, the latest proof of this oon-
slating in the rise in the rate of discount of the
Bank of Frankfort from 34 to 4} per cent.
The amount of gold taken to the Bank yesterday
was 4,000 L, making a total of 163,0001. for the
week, while no withdrawals have been reported.
The City of Baltimore, from New York, has
brought about 13,0001. in specie.
The amount of gold shipped from Melbourne for
England during the month now reported upon is
210,1500/.
It appears that the large amount of Mexican
dollars which recently arrived by the Shannon will
be sent to China by the steamers which will leave
Marseilles on the 12th and 19th inst., together with
• considerable total in bar silver.

_ ..... _
Telegrams just to hand from Shangbae announce
an important decline (211.)in the rate of exchange
—a movement in fivour of England. On
the other hand, the Calcutta exchange has risen
ed., and the Bombay, ed., so that the export of
silver to India (whither most of the recent large
remittances have been sent) will probably still
further increase. The announcement by this after-
noon's telegrams that the rate of discount at Cal-
cutta has risen 2 per cent is also calculated to
induce increased caution here.

—ii;tiiiing;io;s6,iiikooo rupees in bills on
India took place yesterday at the Bank of England.
The proportions allotted were to Calcutta 18,00,000
rupees, and to Bombay 12,00,000 rupees. The
minimum price was as before, yin 16. 1171 d. per
rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. 111 d. on
Bombay. The applications within the limits
amounted to 130 lac& Tenders on Calcutta at
26. Bd. will receive about 91 per cent., and on
Bombay at 2s. fd., about 33 per cent. No allot-
ment was made to Madras. On the last occasion
the applications within the limits amounted to
2,280,0001., and before that to 2,380,0001., so that
a diminution in the immediate demand for remit-
tance to India is now indicated. It is probable,
however, that the advice* above referred to as just
received may cause a revival.
The last mails from Canada having brought the
accounts of the Grand Trunk Railway Company
for the half-year ended June 30, and which are
now being audited, the directors have announced
that the net profits, after paying all leases, rents,
and interest on land charges, as well as a sum of
about 8,0001. as " compensation "in consequence
of the serious aocident at Beloeil-bridge, are suffi-
cient to pay not only the interest on the first and
second preference bonds and stocks, but also the
interest on the third preference stock. The report
and accounts will be issued some days prior to the
half-yearly meeting, to be held on Thursday, the
13th of October. _ _ _ .

With reference to the East of England Bank, it
appears that the prospects of the liquidation are
very favourable, and tthat almost an immediate
first dividend of 10s. may be expected. It is not
yet finally decided whether the liquidation will
take place out of court, as there are two petitions
pending, one for an absolute windingup, and oue
to confirm the voluntary winding up resolved upon
at present by the shareholders only. These peti-
tions come on to be heard early in November be-
fore Vice-Chancellor Hindersley, but in the mean-
time the voluntary liquidators are preparing for the
first dividend. It appears that the value of the
goodwill will not be wholly loot to the shareholders,
as, in addition to taking all the busine,s premises,
fixtures, and furniture at a valuation, the Provin-
cial Banking Corporation (Limited) have to pay for
the business introduction. according to a sliding
scale dependent upon the amount of business ac-
tually retained by that bank, and it is computed
that between 10,0001. and 15,0001. will be coming
from that source, owing to the Provincial Blink
having, it is supposed, secured more than half of
the business. This sum will go in relief of the
estimated deficiency of 120,0001. which the share-
holders have to make up.
At an extraordinary meeting of the Mediter-
ranean Hotel Company, held yesterday, it was re-
solved to voluntarily wind up the undertaking. This
resolution, however, has to be confirmed at a second
meeting, and meanwhile it is proposed to re-con-
stitute the company by a portion of the share-
holders, who offer to pay out dissentients at 21. 10s.
per share for every 51. paid. This proposal will be
considered at the adjourned meeting to be held on
the 29th inst.

A second call of 10s. is to be paid on the shares
of the Worthing Royal Sea House Hotel Company
(Limited) by the 30th inst.
The third call of 21. Ns. is to be paid on the 254
shares of the London, Buenos Ayres, and River
Plate Bank (Limited), by the 3rd of October.
A general meeting of the Scinde Railway Com-
pany will be held on the 28th inst.
The directors of the London and Southwark In-
surance Corporation have given notice that they
will be prepared to grant insurances against fire and
on lives on and after the 29th inst.
The letters of allotment and of " regret of the

Colonial and General Gas Company (Limited) Ism
posted on Monday evening.
The screw steam clipper, Sea King, built for tie
China trade, has just arrived from Hoakow sad
Shanghai, with the first new season's teas, baring
made the passage from Shanghai to the Downs sa
seventy-nine days, against the south-west monsoon.
and including five days spent in coaling.
The first arrival of new foreign hops took plans
yesterday, being six bales of remarkably °beim
colour and quality, consigned to Messrs. Woollotaa
and Son, of the Borough, and sold by them at 6/
per cwt.
Mr. Thomas Armstrong, the well-known banker
at Buenos Ayres, has joined the board of the Cen-
tel Argentine Railway Company as resident direo-
tor of the company, and its representative at the
seat of government of the Argentine Republic.

WIDIFINDAT EVIIIIIIIO.

Consols, which closed yesterday at 874 to 1, for
money and to-morrow's settlement, opened this
morning at 874 to and, after being marked as
good as 871, closed at 87 5-16 to 7-16, or 874.
For the 11th Oct. the last price was 874 to 88. The
official business report is as follows :—Three per
Cent. Consols, for money, 874, 4, j, 4,1, ; ditto,

854, 4,4, a, ; New Three per Cents., 854, 1, 4,4 ;
Bank Stock, 2421, 242 ; India Stock, 211 ; ditto
Five per Cent. Stock, 1034, 4 • ditto Bonds, 22a.
die. ; Five per Cent. "enlaced" rupee paper, 10L
The India Five per Cent. stock was dull. India
Bonds were dealt in at 22e. die.

The Confederate Loan wax well supported at the
late rise, a number of purchases taking place at,
and a fraction over, 80. Greek Bonds and coupons
improved per cent., and the scrip of the New
Mexican Loan nominally 1 per cent., but, with
these exceptions, the foreign stock market was
dull, and in some cases prices gave way. Peruvian
Bonds of 1862 declined 2 per cent., Venezuela of
1864, J, Turkish of 1854, It, Spanish Three per
Cents., and Mexican, per cent. The tendency
in the afternoon was more unfavourable than in
the morning.
A further recovery took place to-day in Alliance
Bank shares ; Imperial Bank, London Joint Stock
Bank, and Midland Bank, were also quoted better ;
but Bank of Auld:ramie, Bank of Victoria, London
and South African, National Bank of Liverpool,
and City Bank, have declined. There were in-
quiries for Joint Stock Discount and Loudon
General Omnibus shares. Australian Agricultural
and Universal Marine Insurance were flat. . .

Hudson's Bay shares closed at 16 to /, sho
little change, and Egyptian Trading at 1/ tot

Egyptian Bank,ll to 1# prem. ; Imperial Mexican
Railway, diz to / prem. ; Ottoman Societ4
nfrale, 1/ to 1/ prem. ; Chilian Mining and

MINES.-(THIS DAYJ

Two o'Czoci.

The mining market is extremely quiet to-day.
and prices present very few variations, coot=
with those last current yesterday. Wheal
shares are in exceptional request, and have
risen to 2121 to 215. East Grenville are quoted
7i to 3 ; East Lovell, 7
to 84 ; and East Caradon.
274 to 28. Great Vor shares are officially
marked 284.
Foreign and colonial mines are unaltered.
