MONEY MAREBT.--THIS DAY.

Two oVzolez.

The English fends aro again flatter to-day, at a
further decline of I per cent. Business continues
dell. Consols have scarcely varied throughout the
morning from their present quotation of 881 to
t ex div. for the 10th of January. The Three
per Cents. Beduosd have been dealt in at 88i
to 881; the Now Three per Cents. at 88j to
891; Exchequer Bills 4e. die. ; Exchequer Bonds
at 971 ; sad Bank Stook at 205.

The foreign stook market is very inanimate.
Turkish Six per Cents. are slightly lower, at 631
to 1; sad the New Four per Cent. Loan at 31 to
3 dia. Spanish stocks maintain their rise, the
New Deferred Three per Cont. marking 211
to 22 ; and the Naive Bonds, 7i. The only
other stock in which business is recorded to-day is
Dutch Two-ead-a-lialf per Ceuta. at 631 to 64.

The public will probably be sitissdto learn that,
of the total amount of 4,000,0001. which has been
paid upon the Turkish 5,000,0004 loan, only
1,500,0001. has yet been applied to the service of the
Ottoman government. The remainder, or 2,600,0001.,
is lying at the Bank of England, comprised under the
head of "other deposits." The total amount of this
item, as stated in the last published Bank return, was
11,719,1801. The aggregate of the coin and bullion
held by the Bank, it will be remembered, was also
stated at 11,079,6781. The knowledge that the heavy
amount of 2,600,0004 (in addition to the 1,131,2501.
which has yet to be paid upon the loan) must ere low
be remitted in gold to Constantinople, is calculated
to render the Bank directors very cautions, and points
decidedly to a continuance of the tightness of the
mosey market. We understand that the degrease of
147,6291. exhibited in the coin and bullion in the hal
balance•sheet, in face of the purchase by the Bank of
a large amount of Australian gold, wan occasioned by
a remittance on account of this loan.
At a meeting of the Canada (Land) Company, held
yesterday, a distribution of 71. per share was autbe•
rimed, payable on the 10th of January, out of the
Wanes of assets. The 1 receipts of the sew
pany were stated at 129,669!. 2s. 4d., against
164.6141. 10s. bd. last year, being a decrease
34,965 e. 17s. ld.
A dividend of 7i per cent. is to be payable on the
stook of the Scottish Union Insurance Company on
the gad of January.
The half-yearly interest on the obligations of the
Great Luxembourg Company is advertised for pay-
ment on the 15th of January.
The market for American securities is repotted by
Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., as inactive.

TEO/OMT Zymase.
The money market maintains the less favourable
appearance which has been presented during the last
two or three days. The general demand is very
active, with a diminished supply. Discussions are again
heard as regards the probability of a further advance
in the Bank rate of disoount.
The English funds opened rather flatly this morn-
ing, but soon rallied, and after attaining a fresh rise
of) per cent., finally closed the same u yesterday.
The prejudicial effect produced upon prices by any
revival annualises@ as regards the state of the Ducey
market appear@ to be counteracted by the hope still
entertained in some quarters that the Reagan peers-
meat will not reject the terms of peace proffered to it
by Austria. Pending the receipt den answer from
St. Petersburg, operations in the Stock Exchange an
involved in much uncertainty.
Consols were first marked this morning 881 ex
div., for the 10th January, rose to 881 to 89, and
closed at 88) to 1. Bank Stock has declined. The
