MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Ozaz.

The sleek markets opened this morning with
increased firmness, but have since become flat The
funds are now quoted barely so good as they closed
yesterday. The only fluctuation of impor-
tance has been in foreign stocks, which, after
improv;ng, have given way. Some of the more
speculative descriptions, especially Mexican and
Greek, are now quoted worse than yesterday after-
noon. _ .

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. 13entes opened at
67fr. 15e., being sc. lower than yesterday.
Consols are now quoted 93, "buyers," for
money, and 931, "buyers," for the account (Nov.
5). The official business report is as fol-
lows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 931,
93 ; ditto for amount, 931; Three per Cents.
Reduced, 911, ; New Three per Cents., all, I;
India Five per Cent. stock, 109, ; ditto Four per
Cent., 1001; Five-and-a-Half per Cent. "eufaced"
rupee paper, 1161; and Exchequer Bills, 2s. prem..
1L dia.

Mexican Bonds opened at an improvement, and
were marked as good as 431. Bales were then
pressed as low as 42, and the present quotation-42g
tof—is worse than yesterday. Spanish Passive
Bonds, after advancing, have likewise fallen, and
are last marked 351. Greek are 1 lower
than yesterday, at 301 to sq. The Twkish
Loan of 1854 is quoted 92 to 93, ex div. ;
ditto, 1868, 701 to 711, being better ; ditto 1862,
711 to 1 ; and the Consolides, 531 to 54.

Transactions are recorded wk follows ::—Braxilian
Old Five per Cents., 1001, ex div. ; Dutch Two-
and-a-Ralf per Cents., 641, 1 ; ditto Certificates,
1001, ex div. ;Egyptian, 1001, 101, 100; Greek, 311,1,
301, 31/ ; ditto Coupons, for account, 15, 141;
Italian, for account, 721 ; ditto Maremmans Rail-
way, 811 ; Mexican, for account, 431, 1, 42,

ditto, 100/. Bonds, 73*; ditto, 1862, for account,
711, I,}; Venezuela, 1862, for account, 61f,
62, 611.

Brazilian scrip is quoted I to 1 prem., and Por-
tuguese, to 1 prem.
International Financial shares are now quoted
51 to 1 prem. ; London Financial, 51 to 1
prem. ; General Credit and Finance,
to 31 prem. ; Hudson's Bay, Ifl to dis. ;
Discount Corporation, 9to prem. ; Pri-
vileged Bank of Austria, par to prem. ;
Anglo-Austrian Bank, a to a prem. ; Land Mort-
gage Bank of India, 31 to prem. ; and Egyptian
Trading, 21 to a prem.
Both Mexican and Greek Bonds are at the moment
peculiarly liable to be acted upon violently by
speculative influences. Should the money market
become easier the position of the numerous specu-
lators who hold these bonds on borrowed money will
be proportionately strengthened. As regards the
new banks and financial and miscellaneous companies
there is still a strong disposition on the part of the
public to invest ; and thus the current premiums
are not only, as • rule, fully maintained, but in
some instances exceeded. That the surplus of
unemployed money at the disposal of the public
must have been extraordinarily large may fairly be
inferred from the readiness with which the enor-
mous mass of new securities created during the
currentyear has been taken up. The most remark-
able feature of all consists, perhaps, in the indica-
tions that the appetite is still unsatisfied—this
being, at least, the inference suggested by the
favour with which projects of the very latest
creation are still received and supported at con-
siderable premiums.
There was a steady demand at the Bank of Eng-
land discount office yesterday ; but iu the general
market the indications of an increase in the supply
of money were again apparent, and in some
instances, especially for short periods, transactions
took place in good bills • fraction below the Bank
minimum. . .

About 300,000/. in silver has already been en-
gaged for transmission to Bombay by the steamer
of the 27th inst.

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon pre-
sented scarcely any alteration from last post's rates,
being quoted as follows ;
Amsterdam, 3 mouths, 11.19} to a ; ditto, 3 days,
1117 to a; Itoawdam. 3 months, ILI9I to ; Antwerp,
3 months, 25.55 to 60; Hominy& ma. tone°, tame months,
13.83 to f ; Paris,3 days, 23.221 10 30; ditto, 3 months,
25.55 to 60 ; Fraakfort-on-the-Ilaine, 3 menthe, 1191 to
; Petersham (psr rouble), 3 months, 36/ to 1 ' • Vienna,
ea. &a, 3 monthNll.4s to 50 ; Trawl*, *ff. 60., 3 months,

Naples, 3 months, 25.65 to 70; Palermo. 3 maths, 25.65
to7o ; Ifeanna, 3 months, 23.65 to 70; Lisbon, 90days,

We understand that the Loudon and Middlesex
Bank are making arrangements for an amalgama-
tion with an old-established bank. The London
and Middlesex Bank, it will be remembered,' was
formerly known as the Unity Bank.
The °woof the stockbrokers, to which reference was
made two days ago, continues to attract attention.
The Stock Exchange rule prohibiting members to
transact business for clerks in mercantile or public
establishments without the knowledge and sanction
of their principals, is one of so salutary a tendency
that the committee can hardly be too strict in
enforcing its bond fide observance. Had all the
members of the Stock Exchange been as care-
ful as they ought to have been, it is probable
that neither Redpath nor Pullinger would ever
have achieved their infamous notoriety. At the
same time it is evident that there are few rules in
the infringement of which such various degree,
and even shades, of blame may be involved. It is
understood that this holds good in particular in the
eau of the mercantile clerk, for permitting whose
irregular transactions several members of the hoese
are now under arraignment before the committee.
In one or two instances it is said severe blame
attaches to the brokers concerned, but in another—
where the chief partner in the inculpated brokers'
firm is a man of position, and himself a member of
the Stock Exchange Committee—much sympathy
is expressed, the irregularity having occurred
through extending a too good-natured indulgence
to one of their own clerks, who was allowed to
execute commissions for the young man re-
ferred to. It is not for us to prejudge
the case, or to attempt to auticipete the
well-weighed decision of the committee, who
will doubtless admiuister justice with an even band,
and uphold in its integrity a most wholesome rule,
at the same time that, enjoying the advantage of
complete acquaintance with the facts, they will
draw a just distinction between various degrees of
culpability. The wilful infraction of a rule and a
mere inadvertence ere widely different cases ; and
justice requires that they should be dealt with
accordingly.
The allotment of the Discount Corporation shares
is not expected to be issued until about the middle
of next week, although the " letters of regret" will
doubtless be sent out sooner. It appears that the
number of applicants is no less that 2,500, so that
an allotment of only four shares to each of them
would absorb the whole of the first issue of
1,000,0001. of eapitaL
