MONEY MARKET.

MoxDAT ETsinrii.

The English funds attained an additional rise of
to Z per oent. this morning, owing chiefly to the
news of further sucoesees of the allies in the East,

coupled with the steady influx of specie. Subse-
quently, however, upon some sees, and news of a
reaction at Paris, the advance was lost, in spite of
the satisfactory feature involved in a decline in the
corn market. Consols finally closed about the same
as on Saturday. Exchequer Bills (March) have
declined to 14s. to 17s. prem., owing to sales on
account of the South Sea Company, whose musts are
in course of realisation, preparatory to distribution
amongst the proprietors. It may be pointed
. _

out, however, that the bulk of this money
will have to be re-invested in the funds, no
that the operation is, in the main, merely an ex-
change from floating into fixed securities. The rate
of money in the Conant market is only about 2 per
cent. on government securities. The discount mar-
ket continues abundantly supplied, with but a limited
demand.

The Three per Cent. Renter closed at Paris to-day
at a decline of to per cent., so that Saturday's
advance is almost neutralised. At Vienna the money
market continues to show an improving tendency.

12.08, and the premium on gold and silver is rather
lower.
