LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1852.

MONEY MARKET .

TUESDAY EVENING.
The markets for all descriptions of securities con-
tinue to exhibit a remarkable aoconsional movement,
which is of course mainly traceable to the present
extraordinary position of our money market. IV°
are in a position to announce that, although the
Bank of England returns for the last week are not
yet eonipletely made up, the actual increase shown
so far in the stock of the precious metals is lull
half a million sterling over the previous large re-
turn ! Meanwhile the directors, equally with the
managers of the other banking institutions of the
country, experience daily increased difficulty in
plating out the funds at their disposal, so much
so, iu fact, that the value of money may positively be
considered almost nominal. The unparalleled influx
of gold is regarded with the utmost earnestness, and
those who were disposed to view with a species of
apathetic indifference its probable effect throughout
Europe, so long as California alone was the great
gold producer. aro now odiously shaken in their
views since the treasures of Australia have been
thrown open. The appreciation of convertible in-
vestments of every description, noticed for months
past, is now more sensibly shown than ever, and
holders of stocks and shares are generally sanguine
of a great rise. At the same time the absence of
what may be termed purely speculative projects
upon a large scale is a peculiar feature of the pre-
sent time. As to the quarter to which speculative
attention will eventually be directed, groat diversity
of opinion exists. There is a general impression,
however, that all the elements requisite for the pro-
duction
of a great speculative epoch are abundantly
at hand, the only want felt being that of a channel
into which the surplus wealth of the nation can be
rolled. There are, however, strong indications of
caution cn all sides, and chiefly amongst those in
whose hands the guidance of the course of the money
market principally rests.
The rise in Consols to-day was rather more than
per ant., which makes the advance since this day
last week 11 per cent. With a brisk inquiry for
stock, the market went steadily up from 1001 to
1004, and finally left off with a firm aspect at 1001 to
101 ex div. for the 16th July. This rise shows how well
founded were the views of those who expected that the
amount of the Consul dividend would be fully reco-
vered during the mouth's shutting of the books.
The go% eminent broker has renewed his purchases,
and took a parcel of Reduced Threes at 1014. As
this stock is of course liable to reduction at any
period when the government could carry such a
measure through, and as dissentients would merely
have the option of being paid off at par, surprise is ex-
pressed at the investments of the Sinking Fund being
carried on at 14 prem. Even making allowance fur
the dividend that has accrued, this stock is at a
premium. The Three and-a-Quarter per Cent. Stock
was in demand, and will, doubtless, see a much better
price. Bank Stock rose to 221. The business re-
corded is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for
the opening, 1001, 1,4, 1,1, -ex div. Three per
Cent. Reduced, 101, New 'Three-and-a.Quarter
per Cents., 103 j, 104, 31, 41, 31, 41. Long Annui-
ties, 1860, 61. Bank Stock, 224, 223.

Exchequer Bias are firm, and will probably ad-
vance further. The March bills were quoted at Is.
higher to-day, at 769. to 795. prem. The June issue
is worth 699. to 725. prom., and is generally consi-
dered to present a mere eligible investment than that
dated earlier in the year.

In the foreign house the rise was not great, except
in Spanish &Aids, which were in great favour. Mexi-
can, Peruvian, Venezuelan, and Russian stocks are
gradually advancing. Austrian scrip, which ycster.
day showed signs of weakness, fell to 4 prem. As
already iutimated by us, it is probable an attempt
will be made to tank, the market swallow
some more of this scrip, upon the pre.-
Ilya of its having attained so high a pre-
mium as 5. The means by which the price has
been nursed, however, are pretty well understood.
The following is the list of to-day's sales:
Austrian Five per Cent. Scrip, 4, 43
Fem. Austrian Five per Cent. Old Bonds, 83, .1,
83 (exchange fixed at 10 fl. per L'.) Brazilian Old

nada One-and-a-Half per Cent, ex. December, 1849,

Old Bonds, for account 30th June, 334, „1; ditto
New Three per Cents. 271, 27, 1. Peruvian
Deferred Three per Cents., 663. Russian Five
per Cents., 1173, 118 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 1031, 41. Sardinian Five per Cents., 943,
1. Spanish Passive Bonds, 53, 6,3, 6 ; ditto Old

ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 223, 3,3,
; ditto Committee's Certifs., 3,3, 3 per cent. Ve-
nezuelan Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 403, 42.
Shares in the Madras Railway Company were
dealt in in the house to-day at 25 prem.; Crystal
Palace shares are quoted 3 to 4 prem.; Ebro Canali-
sation, to 3 prem. Shares in the New National
l'2:ent Steam Fuel Company were bought at 1 prem.
for the settlement.

From the committee of Spanish American bond-
holders we have received the following relative to the
debt of Venezuela:—

VENEZVELAN DEBT.

Committee of Spanish American Bondholders,
8, Broad-street-buildings, June 72, 1852.

Tho following is from Mr. Lord's letter, dated "La
Guayra, 25th and 26th of May, 1852," received: to-day by
the committee :

"To the foregoieg duplicate of my respects of the 10th
inst., I now beg leave to add that the extraordinary session
of Congress closed on Sunday, the 23rd, without the least
notice having been taken of the agreement since the sth of
April, the day on which the Chamber of Representatives
postponed the further consideration of it for four days, and
thus it remains neither approved nor disapproved, to abide
the course of events between this and the Congress of nest
year. Meantime, is the law of " Ways and Means" for
the ensuing financial year, commencing on the Ist of July
west, there appears this item, For the paymez t of the
dividends on the foreign debt. 700,000 dollars.' The pro-
ject of law, so sanctioned by the Lower Chamber, provided
as follows: ' For the current interest on the ctivo Debt
at 31 per cent., and for interest on the Deferred
at 1 per cent., the sum of 495,651.24 ; on account
of arrear dividend., 200,000,' and it was altered
as above in the senate. The former of the just
mentioned sums was composed of: Interest on active debt
at 3i per cent. 61,0481. 101. at 6j dollars-400,306 dollars;
ditto, on deferred at 1 per cent., 15,2391. 17s. ed. ; ditto,
95,26.28 dollars ; total, 495,554.26 dollars ; but as
the latter commences from October 1, 1852, clear is it
that the half year's interest due on April 1, 1853
should alone find place in the ensuing financial year. I
intend shortly passing another note to the minister, simply
to state that, under existing circumstance'', I shall not
again trouble him with my remonstrances, until I receive
fresh instructions from the committee so to do. On the
22nd Messrs. Frederick Iluth and Co. were named by the
executive Racal Argenta of Venezuela in London. Late yes-
terday afternoon (May 26), I received a note from the
minister dated the 21st, of which I beg to enclose a copy.
The dividend of April 1847 was duly paid by Messrs. Reid,
Irving, and Co., and yet the minister again includes it for
payment in his order to Memo. Frederick Huth, and Co.
It was to obviate, as I thought I should do, the possibility
of any mistake of this sort, that I furnished the minister
in May of last year with full particulars of the debt (ride
my letter of May 24th, 1831, to the committee), but it seems
111 attention whatever boa been paid to my information.
(Bigned) " 11. J. Lunn."
The Finance Minister's letter referred to in the
above is to the effect that Messrs. Frederick Huth
and Co. have been appointed financial agents for the
republic, and to them the bondholders will have to
look fur the payment of the dividends. The
Minister states that, owing to the assent
to the agreement not having been given,
the firm above mentioned are authorised to
begin with the payment of the overdue dividends,
viz., those of April and October, 11417. Thus the
creditors will receive at once two dividends instead
of one, as the government has remitted by this
packet the necessary funds. Senor (lellineau further
affords an assurance that " the government will sub-
sequently do all in its power to pay the dividends re-
gularly."

The Quito was to-day reported as having arrived
off the coast with another large remittance of Aus-
tralian gold.
From Liverpool we arc advised of the failure of
Messrs. Dixon, Walne, and Co.,
_a firm in the 'trifle
trade,
trade, with liabilities estimated ut about 20,1100 f.,
This house was of old standing, and at one time
transacted an extensive business; but its dealings
are understood to have been more limited of lute.
We have also a small f.qure in this market. Messrs.
Thomas Alt and Co. having suspended. This firm
are linseed crushers' but the particulars are not
known. The Riga advices mention that two more
mercantile failures had also taken place at that
port.
The demand for bills on Paris to-day was consi- '
derable, and the prim experienced a sensible decline.
Short paper was done at 25.35 to 37! ; ditto three
months ut 25.50 to 52i, leaving off offered at 25.50.
Amsterdam was in demand at 12.11. Hamburg
opened 13.0,1 to 10, and closed 1:1.10 to 1. Frank-
fort was much inquired for at the lower quotation of
121,1 to a% little paper being in the market. The
rates for bills on Italy and Sicily did not vary mate-
rially; they were, however, decidedly in favour of
sellers. For Spain and Portugal the market was
dull, and buyers commanded more favourable prices.
An amount on St. Petersburg was negotiated at 37;.
Vienna declined to 11.52 to 54, whilst Trieste ruled
at 11.54 to 58.

Large buyers of silver are in the market, and the
price of this metal is consequently firm. The de-
mand for India continues, and as much as 100.0001.
worth is understood to be required for the remittance
of the Austrian loan. Meanwhile the stock of this
metal in the market is little more than the supplies
brought in by the West India steamer Magdalena.
These will probably change hands on Thursday.
The receipts by the next West Indian and Mexican
steamer will be extraordinarily large, as they will
include a large portion, if not the whole of the two-
millions and a half of dollars of the American indem-
nity, consigned to Messrs. Barings. According to
the advice, received via New York 1,700,000 dots. of
this amount had already reached Vera Cruz. The
bullion brokers have their hands full of business,
owing to the large imports of Australian gold, which
are rapidly finding their way into the Bank.
Advice, from Bogata of the 14th May state that
Congress was then sitting, by prorogation, princi-
pally to consider the passing of a decree to sanction
an inter-oceanic communication by the llaricn route;
a subject to which we lately referred. A new privi-
lege for the Atlantic and Pacific Junction Company,
of Lime-street, which had recently been warmly re-
commended by the President, was, at the departure
of the mail, in its second reading before the Chamber
of Deputies ; and a bill had been introduced at the
same time by the Minister of Foreign Affairs author-
ising Congress to remit that privilege to the execu-
tive, with certain powers to deal with it, from time
time, lest Congress should be prorogued previouly to
the final passing of the bill. Great interest is telt in
the progress of this scheme, which promises to prove
a very effective means of developing the resources of
that rich and important country.

In addition to the other joint-stock schemes now on
the lapis for the junction of the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, an association is in muse of formation here
under the title of the "Chiriqui Road Company."
The object is the construction of a plank road across
the province of Chiriqui, situated in Terra Firma
I'roper, in the republic of New Granada, a grant from
the government of which has already been obtained.
The length of this road will not exceed fifty miles.
The capital is fixed at 200,0001. in 40,000 shares of
31. each. The grant of a charter of incorporation is
stated to have been already secured, but until it is
actually obtained the deposit of 1/. per share will not
be called for.

Hamburg letters mention that the weather had
continued cold and wet till the afternoon of the
17th, since which time the rain has ceased, and it
has become gradually warmer, though without much
sunshine. fhc crops are stated to have not suffered
as yct,although they may possibly be retarded. The
rye on light sands is described as thin, and the rape
is suffering from a maggot. Tho wheat is just
coming into ear. The barley and oat crops promise
well, but the accounts relative to the potatoes are
contradictory.
