MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'OLoow.

In the Stock Exchange to-day attention is almost
exclusively occupied with the comiletion of the
settlement of the unusually heavy account in shares
and foreign stocks. In the absence of fresh trans-
actions of magnitude, there is scarcely any variation
in prices. The renewed dulness of the Paris Bourse,
where the settlement is about to commence, and the
tightness of the money market on this the last day
of the quarter, contribute to check any tendency
to animation. The fonds and the principal railway
and foreign stocks are quoted the same as yesterday
afternoon. The general tone is steady.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renee opened at
67fr. 85c., being nearly per cent. lower than
yesterday.

Consols are now quoted 931 to i for money, and
93] to } for the account (Oct 8). The official
business report is as follows :—Three per
Cent. Consols, for money, 931, g ; Three per
Cents. Reduced, 914 ; New Three per Cents., 92,
911 ; India Five per Cect. Stock, 108,, ti ; ditto
Bonds, 16e., 204., 16s. prem. ; and Exchequer
Bills, Is. di.., 2s. prem.

Apart from the settlement, little business has
been done in foreign stocks, and the only alteration
in prime worth mentioning is a slight improve-
ment in Mexican Bonds and in the Venezuelan
Loan of 1862. Some of thepresent quotations are an-
nexed :—Turkish, 1854 Loan, 95 to 96 ; ditto, 1858,
704 to 4 ; ditto, 1862, 71 to ; the Consolid6s,
544 to 4 ; Greek, 374 to 384 ; Mexican, 474
to 4; and Spanish Passive, 364 to 4,
Transactions are recorded as follows :—Egyptian,
1014, 101 ; Greek, for account, 38 ; ditto
Coupons, for account, 184 ; Mexican, 474,
484, 471 ; ditto, for account, 474, 4, 4 ;
Moorish, 95 ; Portuguese, 1836, 1857, 1859, 1860,
and 1862, for account, 494 ; Russian, 1862, 934 ;
Spanish Passive, for account, 364, 4 ; ditto,
Certificates, for account, 14, 4, I ; Turkish,

ditto for account, 714 ; Venezuela, for account,
264 ; ditto, 1862, for account, 614, 4.
The Confederate Loan is firmer, at 28 to 28 die.

International Financial shares are without altera-
tion, at 51 to 6 prem. ; General Credit and Finance
are better, at 31 to prem. ; while London
Financial have receded to 4i to I prem. Hudson's
Bay are quoted #to dia., being firmer ; and
Egyptian Trading, 21 to 2} prem.
The extent of the outstanding transactions in
shares and foreign stocks, and in the financial and
other new companies' shares is very large, and has
led to a corresponding pressure for money in the
Stock Exchange. The rates for loans on the more
speculative non-dividend paying foreign stocks were
decidedly heavy yesterday, ranging from 6 to 12 per
cent. per annum, while in exceptional instances,
where the borrowers were of weak credit, still
higher terms were required. Heavy rates of " con-
tinuation" were also demanded on the shares in
the new financial companies. This is not sur-
prising, considering the comparative youth
of these companies, it being notorious that
shares in new undertakings are rarely well
placed until after a lapse of time. As another
reason for the high terms of "continuation," it
may be mentioned that these shares are at present
in much speculative favour. At the same time the
public continue to make boas fide purchases ; thus
there is a steady absorption of the shares into the
name of the best elms of investors, the supply
being derived from original holders, who have becu
induced to realise by the high premiums.
The following notices from Messrs. Baring
Brothers and Co., relating respectively to the debts
of Venezuela, Mexico, and New Granada, were posted
yesterday in the Stock Exchange. The small-
ness of the remittance from New Granada is partly
attributed to the scarcity of bills an Loudon. The
collections on account of the dividends on the
Venezuela Debt are regarded as satisfactory :

is to be 60,0001., with a first subscription at
30,0001., in shares of 61. each. When the remaining
30,0001. is distributed the original shareholders are
to ha re a preferential claim. The object is to' erect
a first clans hotel on the beach of Southsea, Dear
Portsmouth, one of the most riain•• towns in the
south of England. The site proposed faces theses, •
is freehold, and borders on the common, which is a
mile in extent, and where all the reviews take
place. A large amount of the capital having beet
secured, it I. thought no difficulty will be found ia
obtaining the remainder.
