MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoom.
The &Wish stock market to-day continues flat,
with only a dull business. After declining j per
cent., priors have returned to the closing range of
yesterday. Consols receded this morning to 87k to
1, =flare now quoted 871 to 3 for money and the
Bth November. The Three per Cent. Reduced have
been dealt in at 861 to I; the New Three per
Oasts. at 87k to 1; Bank Stock at 207 k to 209; and
India Bonds at 3s. die. to Is. prem. _ .

--- .
Government have raised the rate of interest on
Exchequer Bills to 21d. per ant. per day. This
announcement has caused little recovery in the price,
which is marked 3s. dia. to 2a. prem.
The Foreign stook market is very quiet. Turkish
Six per Cents. are clouted 781 to 79; Ditto,
Four per Cents. Scrip, 31 to 31 die.; Rus-
sian Five per Cents., 95 to 98; Spasish Deferred,
19 to 1; and Mexican, 191 to 20 ex div. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been dealt in at
84 to 1; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates at 93;
Austrian Five per Cents., 1862, at 81; and Brasilian
Old Five per Cents. at 981.
The Walter Hood has arrived from Sydney, whence
she sailed on the 19th July, with 9,308 os. of gold,
and 30,2881. in sovereigns. Including the 98,855 or.
brought in by the Mermaid, and 125,000 oz. by the
Marco Polo, the aggregate of the Australian arrivals
reported since Saturday morning is no leu than
962,0001. The supply ex the Mermaid and Marco
Polo was already in hand today, and a portion of it
was taken for exportation. Further sums will be
absorbed a. the week progresses, but, owing to the
magnitude of the total amount, it is not certain that
some quantity may not be sent into the Bank. The
demand for the Continent, however, is u yet evi-

dently unsatisfied.
The latest dates brought by the Marco Polo are
as follows, viz.:—From Melbourne, July 21 ; Syd-
ney and Launceston, July 18 ; Hobart Town, July
16 ; Adelaide, July 17; and Auckland, June 16.
The Ballarat was to leave Port Phillip for London
at the end of July, and was expected to take a con-
siderable quantity of the precious metal.
The Echo has arrived at Deal from Vera Cm
with a considerable quantity of silver on freight.
In the corn market yesterday factors began by ask-
ing an advance of 3a. to 4s. per qr. over Monday
week's prices, but these rates, coupled with the degr-
ee/I of money, checked the demand, and the sales
effected showed au advance of about 2s. This rise, it
will be remembered, was established last Friday.
The arrivals of foreign grain into London last week
were small, comprising only 8,326 qrs. of wheat, 274
sacks of flour, no barley, and 6,844 qrs. of oats.
Since last riday 17 grain-laden vessels have
arrived at ports of call, viz., three of wheat, ten of
maize, three of beans, and one of peas. The demand
for floating cargoes continues unabated, and in exams
of the supply ; importers are thus enabled to realise
full prices. Of barley there are again buyers for
Holland. Moat of the English and Irish markets
held on Saturday report an advance in the price of
wheat. At Pans the market has become dull and
drooping, the rise in the rate of discount having ap-
parently the effect of forcing many holders into the
market. At Antwerp, however, the demand has
revived, and prices of wheat have advanced within a
week as much as 6s. to 6s. per qr. The Amsterdam
advisee also report a rise.
Commercial advices from St. Petersburg of the 13th
inst., answering telegraphic accounts from this side
to the 12th, state that 850 casks of tallow had been
taken. The quantity despatched this sewn to the
above date from St. Petersburg and the interior was
45,088 casks, against 63,838 to the corresponding
period of last year. To the same date in 1863 the
actual shipments were 86,649 casks, and in 1862,
87,621 casks. The exchange on London was quoted
at 36 7.16 to f d.
From Paris it is mentioned that the Bank of France
has not rescinded its resolution affecting commercial
bills having more than 76 days to run. As regards
the resolution limiting advances on railway stock to
30 per cent., instead of 40 per cent., one writer ob-
serves :—" The impression prevails very generally,
that the Bank should abstain entirely from making
such advances in prosperous times, as it feels itself
compelled to diminish its facilities so fearfully at
moments when they are most required."
A call of 31. par share is to be paid on the First
Extension shares of the Madras Railway Company
(71. paid) by the 27th November.
Land and Bank shares yesterday exhibited no ins-
portent change. City Bank sharer, however, were
quoted 11. higher. Peel River Land shares were
flat. St. Katharine Dock stook was dealt in at 86;
Australian Royal Mail at 4f; and Peninsular and
Oriental at 63.

MONDAY ETZKINO.

The English funds showed steadiness this morning,
but became flatter as the day advanced, and closed}
to 1 per cent. lower than on Saturday. The heavy
bullion arrivals from Australia have thus produced
little effect upon prices, although they will certainly
afford considerable relief, by checking the drain upon
the metallic stock of the Bank of England. So long
ea the continental demand continues, however, no
confidence can be felt that the money market will
become permanently easier.
The discount market remains as last reported. For
long dated bills heavy rates are exaoted. In the
Stock Exchange to-day money was rather more
wanted, and commanded 4 per cent. on government
securities.
At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Itentes closed
about 1 per oent. lower than on Saturday. The other
continental bourses exhibit no striking change.
Consols, which closed on Saturday at 871, opened
steadily this morning at 871 to 1 for money and the
Bth Nov., advanced to 871 to 1, receded to 871 to 1,
and were finally quoted 871 to 1. The Bank of Eng-
land continues to lend stock in the market, with-
drawing notes. The official business report is as fol-
lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, fly mono)', 871, to
