MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two &ewer.

The funds to-day are steady, at the recent im-
provement, with very little business. Al] the
other markets are likewise quiet, and the chief
business has consisted of the adjustment
of the account, which will be completed
to-morrow. English railway stocks are well
supported, while foreign securities, in several
instances, have experienced an improvement.
The steamer Persia, from New York, is tele-
graphed, but her news has not yet traespired.

About 8;0001. in gold was taken to the Bank on
Saturday.

An instalment of 10 per cent. falls due on the
Venezuela Loan to-day.
In preparation for the settlement, the rates for loans
on foreign stocks on Saturday were various. On the
Turkish Loan of the present year about 5 per cent,
was charged, but on that of 1868, which seems to
have been somewhat oversold, only about 3 per
cent. On the more speculative and non-dividend
paying securities, inch as Spanish Certificates,
Spanish Passive, and Greek Bonds, the terms were
sto 6 per mut. The same rate was charged oa
Venezuelan scrip, Portuguese scrip, Italian stock,
the Turkish Loan of 1854, and New Grenadian
securities. As regards Turkish Consolidle as muck
as 6 to 7 per cent. per annum was in some cases
demanded. Of the English railway stocks London
and North Western and Midland were the beet
supplied, the "continuation" on most of the others
being light.
