MONEY MARIBT.--(THIS DAY.)

Two olhool.

The stock markets today are decidedly dull, and
badness is very languid. The general tone, conse-
quently, is rather flat, but it cannot be said that any
further reduction has occurred in prices, nearly all
classes of securities—including the English funds—
being now quoted almost precisely the same as they
closed yesterday.

At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentee opened at
86fr. 10c. for the account, being sc. lower than
yesterday.

HALT-PAST Two o'CLoci.
Consols are now per cent- better, at 904 to
for money, and 90li to 4 for August.
From the indications presented by the money
market and the Bank returns it seems to be con-
sidered that any additional pressure upon the Bank,
either for discounts or bullion, would cause the
minimum rate of discount at that establishment
to be raised at ones from 6 to 7 per cent.
No bullion operations of auy importance were
reported at the Bank yesterday, but the 87,600/. by
the City of Loudon from New York, and 16,0001. by
the Lady Ann, from Melbourne, came to hand,
and were taken for abroad.

The tightness of the money market yesterday after-
noon tended to render the foreign exchanges some-
what more favourable for this country. The rates
were as follows :

Astatordus, 3 swaths, 12.01 to : ditto, 3 days,
ILI7 to 18 • Rotterdam, 3 wombs 12.01 to 1 ; amt.
weep. 3 months, 25.60 to 65; Hamburg, ma. bases, S

The weekly return of the Bank of France shows
• recovery of about 115,0001. in the coin and bul-
lion, accompanied by a decrease of 168,0001. in the
note' in circulation, land a decrease of 1,120,0001.
in the discounts. Th. pressure upon the Bank is
thus sht.wn to have diminished.
At Paris, Vienna, and Turin the rate of discount
in the open market is 6 per cent. ; Amsterdam
and Berlin, 4} ; Hamburg, n; Frankfort, 3 ;
Brussels, 54 and St. Petersburg, 5 per cent.
