MONET MARKET-(TIII8 DAY.)

Two o'Cioci.

The tendency of the stock markets to-day is less
favourable than it was yesterday, the rumour of
ithe acceptance of the proposed conference by Den-
mark being without confirmation. But, although the
funds have declined per cent., much steadiness
is observable in most department+, of the Stock
Exchange. Some support has been derived from
the announcement of the arrival of an enormous
mass of specie from the West Indies. Attention
continues to be chiefly occupied with the adjust-
ment of the account in shares and foreign stocks.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted
66fr. 75c., showing no change.
Consols are now quoted 91} to for money, and
911 to 1 for the account (April 8). The official busi-
ness report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Con-
sols, for money, 911, *; ditto, for account, 911 ;
Three per Cents. Reduced, 89f, i; New Three
per Cents., 891, 1, # ; Bank Stock, 239, 240 ;
India Five per Cent. Stock, 1041, ; ditto Bonds,
fla. dia. ; Five per Cent. "aniseed" rupee paper,
104 ; and Exchequer Bills, par, Is., 3a. dia.
In the foreign stock market the settlement is in
full progress. Mexican and Spanish Passive Bonds
are rather dull, while Greek and Turkish Consolides
continue in favour. Some of the present quota-
tions (which are for the new account), are sub-
joined, viz :-Turkish Consolides, 521 to 534 ;
Greek, 234 to 4; Mexican, 421 to 431 ; Pas-
sive, 364 to 2; and Confederate, 48 to 50.
Transactions are recorded as follows:-Brazilian,
1839 and 1859, 994 ; ditto 1852, 1858, 1860, 874 ;

The steamer La Plata, from the West Indies, has
brought the enormous sum of 1,045,000/. in specie.
The Water Nymph has also arrived from Mel-
bourne, with 56,00 W.
The discount market yesterday was easy. Good
bills were taken at 51 per cent., with exceptional
transactions at 54. The demand at the Bank of
Englaid was moderate. In the Stock Exchange
the terms for short loans on English government
stocks were only 3 to 34 per cent., although higher
rates have prevailed at the settlement on more
speculative securities.
During the last two days the tendency of the
Vienna Bourse has been more favourable.

About 14,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank
yesterday, and 50,000 sovereigns were withdrawn
for Alexandria.

The following gold ships are now on the way
from Melbourne to England, viz.:—Great Vic-
toria with 73,0001., Essex with 93,0001., Calliance
with 55,0001., Moravian with 17,000/.' and the
Agincourt with 12,500/. The aggregate 6306,5001.,
of which about 130,000/. is due.
The French mail steamer Louisiana has arrived
at St. Nazaire from Vera Cruz with 129,000/. in
specie, of which 64,0001. is on English account.

The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed
Friday next a special settling day in the shares of
the National Provincial Aerated Bread Company
(Limited), and in the new shares of the London
Financial Association (Limited). Both are to be
marked, but the former in the bi-weekly list only.
The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows
this week a decrease of 2,9121. compared with last
year, when the receipts were exceptionally aided by
the royal wedding, and the Brighton a decrease of
2,1521.
Another new undertaking is announced under
the auspices of the General Credit Company.
It bears the title of the British Columbia
and Vancouver Island Investment Company
(Limited), and has for its object to transact in those
colonies a similar class of business to that success-
fully carried on by accredited associations in other
dependencies of the British empire. The company
will raise money on its debentures at British
rates of interest, and employ it on mortgage
of real estate or other substantial securities at
colonial rates. The prospectus points out that iu
British Columbia and Vancouver Island the ordi-
nary terms on good securities are 12 to 16 per cent.
per annum. The company also proposes to transact
agency business between home and the colonies,
and itself to purchase landed property to a limited
extent. The capital is 500,001.1. (subject to in-
crease), but the first issue is to consist of 250,000/.,
in 10,000 shares of 251 each, ou which "it is ex-
pected that not more than 51. per share will be re-
quired to be called up." The direction is composed
of gentlemen already identified with enterprise in
the colonies, comprising the following :—Mr. James
Anderson, director of the Bank of British Colum-
bia ; Mr. James Caird, M. P. ; Mr. George Camp-
bell (of Messrs. H. N. Dickson and Co., London,
and Dickson, Campbell and Co., Victoria, Van-
couver Island) ; Mr. Joseph Fry, director of the
Canada Agency Association ; Mr. T. W. L.
Mackean, chairman of the Bank of British Colum-
bia ; Mr. Alexander Morrison, director of the
Bank of Otago ; and Mr. Prideaux Selby, director
of the Vancouver Island Laud and Coal Mining
Company.
At the pending settlement in shares and foreign
stocks, the rates of interest have generally been
moderate ; but in some instances, including certain
of the speculative foreign stocks, as much as 8 to
12 per cent. per annum has been paid. The fol-
lowing shows the terms generally current :
