MONEY MARKET.

FILIDAT
After showing an Improving appearance during a
portion of the morning, the English stock market
became heavy this afternoon, and closed to 1 per
cent. lower than yesterday, owing chiefly to simu-
lative sales, partly on continental account. A lees
favourable impression appeared to prevail with regard
to the Vienna Conferences, and to the future policy
of Austria. Statements from Paris that the Emperor
persists in his intention to visit the Crimea had also
some effect. The market has been chiefly supported
by the withdrawal this week of a large amount of
stair, estimated at 300,0001. or 400,0001., on banking
and other accounts. In conscquence money is very
abundant in the Stock Exchange, and may be ob-
tained at the low rate of 21 to 3 per cent. on govern-
ment securities.

Sonic uneasiness seems to have been excited by the
fact that, since the death of the Emperor Nicholas,
there has been an absence of the usual telegraphic
despatches from St. Petersburg.
The discount market is easy, the various Lombard-
street establishments being well supplied with money.
Accommodation can be obtained on first-class paper
at a slight reduction from the Bank of England's
minimum charge of 5 per oenL
At Paris to-day the French funds closed much the
same as yesterday. The Vienna bourse continues to
present an unfavourable appearance. The Austrian
funds are declining, and the exchange on London bas
advanced to 12.18. At Amsterdam prices are also
generally lower.
Consols opened at 93 to 1 for the 11th April,
advanced to 934, and had receded at 4 o'clock to 921
to 93. Subsequently the quotation was 93 exactly.
For money the 4 o'clock price was 921 to t.
The official business report is as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 921, 93, 921,
931, 1, 921 ; ditto, for account, 11th April, 93, 931,
1, 93. Three per Cents. Reduced (shut), 931, 921.
New Threo per Cents. (shut), 93;,1. Bank Stock
(shut), 215. Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer
Bonds, falling payable in 1859, 991.
Owing to the more easy position of the money
market, the Jane Exchequer Bills advanced ls.,
closing at 6s. to 911. prem. India Bonds ruled at lls.
to 11s. prem.
The foreign stock market was very inactive, with
the chief transactions in Turkish, which closed at

791 to 1, or about 1 per cent. lower than yesterday.
Other stocks present no material alteration.
The corn market to-day was rather firmer.
The Admiral was telegraphed to-day as having
arrived off Falmouth from Port Phillip, whence she
sailed on the 11th December. Her accounts are con-
sequently about five days later than those previously
to hand. The amount of gold brought in by this
vessel remains to be ascertained.
' The foreign exchanges maintain their more favour-
able appearance, and in some cases this afternoon
the tendency was still upwards. The chief transac-
tions were on Hamburg as high as 13.61; Amster-
dam at 11.161 to ; Paris, at 25.371 to 40 for 3
months, and 25.15 for short bills; Frankfort, at 1181
to ; St. Petersburg, at 351 to f,; and Vienna and
Trieste, at 12.35 to 45. The transactions were
limited.

Commercial letters from St. Petersburg, dated the
let inst., quote the exchange on Loudon at 36 3-16 d.
200 casks of tallow had been done at 117, on the spot.
There were sellers for August at 112.101 cash.
The tallow market was rather firmer yesterday
afternoon, and to-day a °further improvement took
place. The closing quotations were, Petersburg
Y. C. on the spot, new, 605.; old, 485.; March,
495. 3d. ; April, 495. 9d. The panic caused in the
market by the death of the Czar is passing off.
The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 15th
inst. for the hire of good coppered ships of from 500
to 800 tons each, to be employed as horse transports
for four months certain.
The Emigration Commissioners will receive ten-
ders on the 16th inst. for the hire of a ship, to pro-
ceed to Adelaide, and to be ready to receive passen-
gers between the 26th of April and the 4th of May.

At a meeting of a number of shareholders of the
South Eastern Railway Company, held at Manchester
two or three days ago, resolutions were passed
pledging the meeting to oppose the election as direc-
tors of those gentlemen " who have merely purchased
stock during the present year of sufficient amount to
give them a qualification, and to support the can-
didature of Messrs. Rich, Beattie, Gilpin, Hoyes,
Mellor, and Gordon Thomson.
The Van Diemen's Land Company's shares to-
day were rather better, other land stocks remaining
steady. In Bank shares the only feature was a rise
of 10s. in Oriental Bank. Crystal Palace shares
remain steady. The stock of the Electric Telegraph
Company was better. Australian Royal Mail !Steam
shares have been dealt in at 3; to 3,1 ; General
Screw Steam at 141 to ; and Peninsular and Ori-
ental at 68.

The subjoined weekly summary of the produce
markets is extracted from the circular of Messrs. W.
J. and H. Thompson :
The transactions in the produce markets have been
limited, owing to the small quantity of goods on offer.
The sugar sold has been at full rates, but some importers
have held for an advance. There has been a speculative
demand for the native kind of Ceylon coffee, which has risen
fully le. per cwt., and there are not now any sellers at
47.. per cwt. ; very little Plantation has bees brought for-
ward, and the tales show a rise of le. per cwt. Saltpetre
has met with full purchasers at higher quotations. Rice
has declined 3d. to 6d. per cwt. There has been a good in-
quiry fer tea, and some of the new arrival have brought
fair prices.

The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Saturday, March 3, when compared with the
previous return, shows the following results :

Circulation issue
Circulation active 19,098,255 Increase 36,385
Public deposits 6,033,184 Increase 177.729
Other deposits
Clevernment securities in

Seven day and ether bills 903,059 Increase 19,209
The Rest

The subjoined exhibits the extent of the week's
variation, at one view :

Public deposits
Other deposits increase.. 167,876
Notes and bills in circulation

Bat increase.. 331,283

On the other side of the account :
Government seetuitits increase

Other esenrities increase ..

86,923
490,360
146,208

Coin and bullion increase . ,

Total
The chief change here exhibited is the increase of
nearly half a million in the private securities, caused
by the demand for money incidental to the 4th of the
month. The continued increase in the bullion is
satisfactory. As the period for the half-yearly divi-
dend on Bank stock approaches, the directors " write
up," and add to the " Rest " the profit accruing from
various departments of the business of the insti-
tution.
