MONEY MARKIIT.-(THI6 DAY.)

To-day, being Good Friday, is • close holiday.
There was a good but not pressing demand yes-
terday for money at to 4 per oent. for good bills.
The scrip of the new Confederate Loan was again
very heavy yesterday, and gradually declined, closing
at 2} to 2 dial- Some of the sales were said to be
attributable to an impression that Mr. John B.
Spence, merchant, of Liverpool, who hu just
stopped payment, is identified with the financial
agent of the Confederate government. This, how-
ever is not the case. Mr. John B. Spence, who
has been fifteen years in business, and is well
known, is a brother of Mr. James Spence, the Con-
federate agent, but is entirely unconnected with
him in business.

The scrip of the Italian Loan has risen to HI to
1; prem. Danish was quoted to prem.
The accompanying letter from the Under Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs materially affects
the interests of the Poyaisian Land and Bondhold-
ers, as well as those claimants under the Black
River Land Grant (Mosquito). The next step to
be taken for the recovering of this land should be
by application to the Honduras Government :
Foreigmofftos, Muth 17, 1863.
Sir,—l am directed *FAA Russell to state to you, in
reply to your letter of the 9th ult., that hie lordship has
received the final report of the Honduras COlnlniblaoo, and
that it appears on referent* to that document that the claim
which you have represented for grants of laud in the Black
River hes been ooesidered. and rejected by the commission.

The deivand for money having been active, as is
shown by the large addition to the private secu-
rities, there is a decrease of some amount in the
reserve. During the week to which this return
refers a total of 540,0001. of newly imported gold
is known to have been sent into the Bank, and, as
the increase shown in the shove return is small, it
is evident that a considerable amount of coin must
have been carried into the provinces by the govern-
ment payments usual at the end of the quarter.
