MONEY 114REBT.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'Cioar.

The stock markets to-day are dull. A cer-
tain check is given to them by the occur-
rence of holidays to-morrow and on Tuesday,
by the absence of business which this occasions,
by the simultaneous activity in the demand for
money, and by the expectation of the speedy issue of
• large Italian loan. The funds, however, are not
quoted lower than they closed yesterday. Some
of the principal English railway stocks have re-
ceded. The foreign stock market is likewise in-
animate.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented were quoted
70fr. 20c., showing no change.

The scrip of the new Danish Loan has im-
proved to 2} to 2i pram.

Consols are now quoted 921 to I for money, and
924 to 1 for the account (Bth April). The
official business report is as follows :—Three

Business in the foreign stock market has not
revived, and little change has occurred in prices.
Turkish securities are firm. Spanish Passive
Bonds are dull, and the Certificates have
declined. Italian Five per Cents. are quoted
scarcely so good as they closed yesterday. Greek
Bonds have receded 1 per cent. Other stocks

We learn that Messrs. Rothschild have
agreed to bring out the new Italian Loan.
The details will probably transpire within a few'.
days. Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, the eldest'
son of the Paris house, is now at Turin, and it
would appear that there has been much competition
on the part of other influential firms for the con-
tract. The total amount authorised to be raised by
the Italian parliament is, we believe, as much as
twenty-eight millions sterling of cash, but according
' to one rumour in circulation this afternoon, one-
ball of the Loan will probably be brought
forward in the present instance. The terms
will doubtless be so arranged as to ensure the
success of the transaction, if only for the very
sufficient reason that the Italian government has
imperative need of the money. An important com-
bination, of a European scope, will be formed to
carry the Loan through, but chief reliance will of
course be placed on the markets of France, England,
and Italy. As the new stock will thus be widely dif-
fused, its weight on each market will be the less
felt.

The Etna, from New York, has brought 18,5001.
in specie.
The specie and bullion by the Mexican packet
are not expected to be delivered to the bullion
brokers until Thursday next, owing to the delay at
the Bank of England.
The stoppage is announoed of Messrs. Samuel Hood
and Fon iron merchants, &c., of Upper Thames-
street. The books have been placed in the hands
of Mr. 13. Lowell Price, the accountant.

The farewell meeting.of the Ottoman Bank, pre-
vious to its becoming the National Bank of Turkey,
took place yesterday. The report and statement of
the chairman were received with marked and
unanimous approvaL

With reference to the market for American se-
curities Mr. K T. Satterthwaite reports as follows :

We have had an excited market in Loudon, since our last,
in American securities, with a large business doing, parti-
cularly in United States Five per Cent. (1874) Hoods, and
Six per Ceuta. (1881). The demand has been almost entirely
on Dutch account ; the Five per Ceuta. advanced to 624,
since which they have declined to 581. and close steady at 59
to 80. Virginia Six per Cent. Dollar Bonds and Sterling
Bonds continue in good demand. In Railroad bonds the
business is restricted, from the few now offering, so large •
portion of those held in this country having been sold, to be
returned to America. Steady investments continue to be
made in Atlantic and Greet Western First Mortgage Bonds.
Illinois and Erie Shares have been freely sold ; they close at
a decline of 2 dole. per share from last week's quotations.
The return of the Bauk of England for the week
ending Wednesday, March 4, compared with that
Lir the previous week, shows the following changed :

These changes are of an unfavourable character,
the pressure for money havint caused a heavy in-
crease in the securities, and a considerable decline
in the reserve. The bullion is slightly lower.
