MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Twe o'Osoom.
lllRealisations continuing to be effected for amount
of lopeculaton who bought at the low priors lately
current, and the value of money having as yet ex-
perienced little actual relapse, the stock markets
to-day are flatter. The funds have declined Ito I
per cent., and the reduction extends to home
railways, foreign stocks, and some other classes
of securities.

There is more demand for money to-day, but an
absence of pressure. The rate for choice three
months' bills is 9to 91 per cent. In the Stock
Exchange this morning there was a strong demand
for short loans on government securities
at 7to 8 per cent., but the quotation is now
6to 7, with a larger supply of money.

The English money market being easier, and the

especially Pane, having advanced, bills on the Con-

the recent rule of the Stock Exchange requiring a
payment of 10 per cent. on the nominal amount of
the shares thus complied with.
