MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLooi.

The English funds continue to decline, and a
gloomy feeling pervades the entire Stock Exchange
today. Consols are now quoted 891 to 1 for money, and
89} to # for the 12th of October, being 1 per cent.
lower than they closed yesterday. Exchequer BBL
have been dealt in at par to 2s. prem.; and India
Bonds at 7s. Fem.

In the foreign stock market Turkish securities oon-
dune to show great heaviness. The Six per Cents.
have fallen to 881 to 89, and the New Four per Cent.
gut:eased Scrip to 1j to 11 dia. Granada Active
Bonds have been in great demand, and mark
191 to 20. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been dealt in at 781 ex div.; Spanish Old Three
per Cents. at 38; ditto New Deferred Three per
Cents. at 191. Venezuela Active Bonds at 27; and

The demand for gold for exportation continues ac-
tive. Farther sums were yesterday taken from the
Bank. The large supplies lately reported as having
arrived off the coast have not yet come to hand, but
a considerable portion of them is expected to be at
once absorbed for the Continent.
The amount of specie brought in by the Canada,
from New York, is stated at 611,618 dole., or about
102,3001. The exchange on London still showed
some symptoms of weakness. The Madrid has
brought in 6,29 W. from Lisbon.
In the corn market yesterday, new English wheat
was sold it a decline of Is. to 21. per qr. from the rates
of Monday week. Old and foreign wheat was held at
former prices. The supply of homegrown corn at
market is increasing, but the foreign arrivals continue
small. A large quantity of wheat and flour is atilt
being exported to France and Belgium. Since last
Friday 11 floating cargoes of maize and two of wheat
have arrived off the coast, but only a few are offered
for sale.
Some interest has been excited by the publication
of an official notification of the Turkish government
relative to a projected @Mem of railways for that
country. Companies proposing to tender for the
construction of the first line, from Constantinople to
Belgrade, are allowed;a period of six months, dating
front the Ist October next, at the expiration of which

The half-yearly meeting of the Imperial Gas Com-

A large business was again done yesterday in the
stock of the Canada Land Company, which continues
to show a strong upward tendency. Other land and
bank .hares were quiet. The Electric Telegraph
Company's stock was flatter. British American Land
shares were dealt in at 60 to 60i, and Royal Mail
Steam at 75.
The subjoined weekly report on the freight mar-
ket is furnished by Messrs. Offor and Gammen :
The tendency to firmness in the freight market continues,
the fresh demand on the part of the government for trans.
poets having materially twisted the tone. A large lumber
eif vessels were offered to the goverment oa Saturday, and
sera have been ordered for survey. The rates at which
the tenders aro made range from 144.6 d. to lbs. per register
ton per month, or Ms. to 60s. per ton of stores, delivered in
the Crimeai at the option of government. It is worthy of
remark, that at the eimereeneement of the wet the rate
paid for the same *anise reached 36.. per ton, considerably
men thus doable the freight at which vessels are now diet-
ing. Steen transports are also in demand at Ms. per register
me.
East India freights are still plentiful, and chartering very
active. The present current quotations ere—Akyab, 965. ;
Rangoon, 914.64., with option of continent at 100..; Bom-
bay, 70s. ; Calcutta, 975. Bd. ; Singapore, 70s , er 655. for

Aden, 29e. ; Bombay. 15e. • Catcalls, 20e. ; Singapore, 16.. ;
Ceylon, 18e. • Sues, 664.,
The Austrillan trade continue very dull, with no ten-
dency to improvement in freights. The tonnage on the
berth is suasive, the clearances last week being again
exactly seueterbefesead by the tonnage put on the berth.
The goverment demand may probably relieve this trade of
a good deal of saperabundant tonnage. Daring last week
the mule entered out and cleared comprised the following :

MONDAY EVINLWO.

The English stock market to-day was spin fiat
in character. After declining 1 per cent. prices
closed per cent. lower than on Saturday. Sales of
stock by the Bank of England are continued, and
are reported to average about 50,0001. daily. In the
Stock Exchange money rules at about 3 fo 31 per
cent. on government securities. The discount mar-
ket continues to wear a quieter appearance, but a
fair demand for accommodation is experienced, and
the rates are maintained. It is significant of the as
yet unsettled state of the money market, however,
that Exchequer Bills are no longer saleable, unless
at a discount. The price quoted this afternoon was
2s. discount to 2s. prem. Exchequer Bonds have at
the same time fallen to 991 to t.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rotten closed
at 66.20 for money and 66.40 for account. The latter
I quotation shows a trifling improvement since Satur-
day afternoon, owing to speculative purchases. At
Ir Vienna, the money market exhibits an increase of
, distrust. The exchange on London oomee quoted at
11.7, whilst the premium on gold and silver Morten
