MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY EIIRITIIII.

Although the English funds showed steadiness at
ths opening, flatness soon became observable, and
prices gradually declined, finally closing per cent.
lower than on Saturday. Stock is more abundant in
the market, and, in view of the probability that
government will bring forward a loan in the event
of the Vienna conference being attended with no
pacific result, some of the recent operators for higher
prices have shown a disposition to close their
accounts. Business continues very doll throughout
the Stock Exchange. Late in the afternoon a
rumour circulated that the allied forces had gained a
victory, but it remained without subsequent con-
firmation.

At Paris to-day the French funds closed rather
higher than on Saturday. It is stated that the
Emperor of the French, who is to arrive in this
country on Monday, the 16th inst., will return to
France on the following Saturday, and that. his Ma-
jesty proposes to leave for the seat of war in the
Crimea about the beginning of May. These state-
ment., however, have now less effect on the bourse,
owing to the repeated erroneous assertions which
have previously been made upon this latter subject.
At Vienna the late improvement in the money mar-
ket is fully maintained. On the Amsterdam bourse
the chief feature is a renewed inquiry for Venezuelan
and Grenadian bonds. At Frankfort Austrian stook
has declined 1 per cent.
Consols for the 11th April were first marked 93,
and closed at 921 to 1. For money the final quota-
tion was about 921. The official business report is
as follows : Three per Cent. Console, for money,
93, 921 ; ditto, for account, 11th April, 93, 92.1, 1.
India Stock, 2281. Three-and.a.Half per Cent. Ex-
chequer Bonds, falling payable in 1838, 991, : ditto,
18,59, 991.

Exchequer Bills closed at 86. to 9s. prem., but some
purchases were effected at Bs. prem. India Bonds
were dealt in at 10e. to 14s. prem.

The foreign stock market was steady, except as
regards Turkish, which had receded at the close to
801 to being per cent. lower than on Saturday.
Granagian and 'Venezuelan Bonds and the Spanish
Committee's Certificates for the unfunded Cos-
pone continue to meet with some inquiry. Chi-
lien stocks experienced an improvement, the
Six per Cents. closing at 100 to 102 ex div., and the
Three per Cents. at 68 to 72 ex di,. Business is
marked in the scrip of the last French loan at 8 prem.
At 4 o'clock Russian Five per Cents. were quoted 99
to 101; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 89 to 91.
French shares showed an improving tendency this
afternoon. The shares of several lines are favour-
ably affected in anticipation of the opening of the
Pans Exhibition.

about last Monday's rates.

last week were 11,25311, being 7341. more than in the

corresponding week of last year.

to-day, and experienced a farther decline of about
30s. per share. The South Australian Land Com-
pany's stock, on the other hand, rose 10s. Bank
