MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoca.
The funds to-day are steady, at former prices,
but as regards some other classes of securities the
tendency of prices is upwards. The principal ad.
vanoe is in Great Western and Midland Railway
stocks, Confederate Bonds, and Turkish Commbiles.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted
66fr. 25c., showing no change.
There is only a limited demand for money to-
day, and the tendency of the rates is downwards.
Transactions are reported in good three months
bills at 5 per cent., being k below the
Bank minimum. An impression appears to
prevail in some quarters that the director of the
Bank may soon reduce the rate, and bills are con-
sequently held back. In the Stock Exchange there
is a fair inquiry, at 4 to 5 per cent, for short loans
on English government securities.

out certain concessions granted by the municipality,
and to make improvements in the town and port.

arrangements for • further outlay of about
1,200,0001. The company has acquired about
430,000 square metres of building land at the price
of 14 francs per metre, and proposes to resell it in
plots. It will also make advances on merchandise
or other property. The French director is M.
Cezard. The directors are to be remunerated by a
fixed salary, and by a payment of 10 per cent. on
the company's profits, after payment of 10 per
cent. dividend to the shareholders. The capital is
fixed at 600,0001., witha first issue of 300,0001., in
15,000 shares of 201. each, but power is taken to

directors' report and statement of accounts to the
30th June, and to declare a dividend.
