'MONEY- NARIET,-(17118 D 47.)

Two o'Crocz.
The result of the weekly court at the Bank of
England has been awaited to-day with a good deal
of interest. After a long sitting, it has been
announced that the directors have resolved not to
alter the rate of discount, which therefore remains
at 7 per cent. During the whole of the morning
the stock markets have been quiet, and
attention has been chiefly concentrated upon
the share and foreign stock settlement.
Since the Bank announcement, rather more
firmness has been shown, yet the general tone of
the markets is still dull. Some of the principal
home railways, and a few of the foreign stocks, are
rather lower than yesterday.
The discount market is quiet to-day, and the
supply of money good. The rate for choice three
months' bills ranges from 7 to 8 per cent.,
but there appears to be an impression
in some quarters that somewhat lower charges will
prevail during the next few days, many persons
having apparently over-supplied themselves, in ex-
pectation of a further rise in the Bank minimum.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
66fr. 05c., showing no change.
Consols are now quoted 84 to 90 for money, and
soi for the account (August 9). The official

Cent. Stock, 104, 1,1 ; ditto for account, 1051 ;
ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1866, 981 ;
and Exchequer Bills, June, 6e. die.
Foreign stocks are dolL Greek Bonds are /to
per cent. lower, at 234 to 4, and Mexican 1 lover,
at 281 to 1. Other stocks have not vaned
much. Spanish Passive Bonds are quoted
281 to ; Confederate, 75 to 77 ; and Turkish

- Owing to the rise in the value of money the rates
of " continuation " at the settlement in shares and
foreign stocks yesterday were in many instances
rather higher than on the last occasion, yet they
were not heavy. It would appear that the out-
standing transactions, as usual at this period of the
year, are not extensive. The account now com-
mencing is an unusually long one, consisting of 18
days. The following shows the terms generally
current :
