MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY Evaxisa.
The home stock market continues well supported,
though business is of course partially suspended dur-
ing the shutting of the boolts. Consols have been
steady all day at Saturday's quotation of 983 to 1 for
money, whilst for the account the price left off a
shade better at 981. Some discussion is now begin-
ning to be heard relative to the results that may be
expected to be shown in the forthcoming revenue
returns; and a report is afloat that they will prove
scarcely so satisfactory as might be desired, owing
to the interference with the customs receipts
caused by the easterly winds so long prevalent.
As this explanation is perfectly satisfactory, it is not
probable that any uneasiness will be manifested, even
should the alleged falling off be confirmed, since the
revenue of the ensuing quarter will be correspond-
ingly benefited. To day's official business list em-
braces :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 08a,
; ditto, foraecount, 983, 3,3. South Sea Stock, 1103.
Bank Stock, for account, 220.
The improvement in Exchequer Bills is maintained,
the quotation ruling at 68e. to 71s. prem. India
Bonds are very, quiet.
In the foreign stock market the settlement of the
account has commenced, and chiefly engages atten-
tion. For carrying over to the now account of the
15th April, the rates varied to-day from 3 to 8 per
cent.. With the exception of Spanish, which wears a
steady appearance, the more speculative descriptions
of bonds were rather fiat, though a quotable decline
can scarcely be said to have taken place. In Buenos
Ayrean and Peruzian the absence of confidence was
chiefly observable. The transactions officially re-
corded are as follows : Brazilian Old Five
per Cent., 102 ; ditto New, 1829 and 1839,
1003, 101. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents.,
72. Ecuador Bonds, 5. Granada Deferred, 103.
Mexican Three per Cents., 323, 3. Peruvian
Active Five per Cents., 1849, 1041 ; ditto,
Deferred, 613,1. Portuguese Four per Cents., for
account, 15th April, 36, 353. Reagan Five per
Cents., 1131. Sardinian Five per Cents., 933, 3,
1. Spanish Old Three per Cents., 44 ; ditto New
Deferred Three per Cents., 203, 20, 1 ; ditto Com-
mittee's Certif. of Coupon not funded, 23 per cent.
Venezuela Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 483, 46.
This was " continuation day" in the railway share
market, and the arrangements for the settling were in
full progress. The settling is very heavy and is re-
garded with much interest, owing to the activity
with which the dealings have been prosecuted, and
the marked upward movement in prices. The re-
quisite arrangements, so far as they have progresped,
afford evidence of a series of heavy " bull " opera-
tions, and the movement at present appears likely to
be prosecuted with spirit. The rates of "contsaigo"
exacted for carrying over to next account have been
rather heavy. At one period of the morning they
ruled as follows :

London and North-Western, Z to 1 continuation
ir
Midland, to Z continuation.
Great Western, to Z continuation.
South Western, A to 1 continuation.
Lancashire and Yorkshire, Ito continuation.
South Eastern, 1.16 to 1 continuation.
Great Northern, 1-32 to 3.32 continuation.

Caledonians, 1-18 to k continuation.
York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 1-16 to 1- continua-
tion.
York and North Midland, k to 1 continuation.
Oxford and Worcester, 1-32 to 3-32 continuation.
The rates per cent. per annum, shown in these
" contangos," may be calculated as under:
Per Dent. per annum.

South Nestani
Great Ikea= 4 to 12
Caledonian to 17
York, Newcastle, and Darwick to 17

In the afternoon, however, higher rates prevailed
in several instances, tho continuation on London and
North Westerns being as high as j, and on Great
Westerns ato 1. For carrying over French shares,
4 to 8 per cent. was given.

Eight hundred and ten forfeited shares of the Dutch
Rhenish Railway Company were sold on Thursday
last by public auction, by authority of the direction,
and realised 54 to 56 florins, equal to 4!. 10s. to
41. 12s. 6d. per share. The Stock Exchange price of
these shares this afternoon is 31 to 31(dis., whieh, on
shares with 81. paid, is equal to 41. 10s. to 41. 13s.
