MONEY MARKET.-(21118 DAY.)

Two °Two&

Great dulness continues to prevail in the stock
markets, the general tendency of which is still un-
favourable. The funds remain at the closing quo-
tations of yesterday, but home railways and
foreign bonds are generally rather lower. The
Confederate Loan and the shares of the Alliance
Bank Lave again fallen heavily ; the latter have been
marked this morning as low as 9 to 11 prem.
Other bank shares are likewise depressed, and
those of the financial companies are still quite out
of favour. This is the fortnightly settling day.

The demand for discounts is rather less
active to-day, but loans for employment
iu the Stock Exchange are in active request,
chiefly in connexion with the settlement, and the
rate from day to day on government securities is
7to 8 per cent. No transactions are reported in
bills below 9 per cent.

At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's tele-
grani, the Three per Cent. Pontes opened at
65fr. 75c., showing no change.

Consols are quoted 87, to for money,
and 871 to 88 for the account (October 11).
The official business report is as follows :
—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 871, a ;
ditto, for account, 871; Three per Cents. Reduced,
; New Three per Cents., 851, ; India Five per
Cent. stock, 1031, ; ditto Bonds, 21;s. die. ; Five per
Cent. "enlaced" rupee paper, 100 i, 101 ; Exche-
quer Bills, March, Ile., 4s. dis. ; ditto June, 235.
dis.

Foreign stocks in many cases are Ito per cent.
lower. Confederate Bonds have fallen 3 to 4 per
cent., and Mexican, 11. Some of the present quo-
tations are annexed, viz. :—Oretk, 22; to 231 ;
Mexican, 261 to 1 ; Confederates., 60 to 61 ; Spanish
Passive, 301 to ; the Certificates, 13; to 1 ;
Turkish Bonds of 1838, 681 to 1 ; ditto 1862,
691 to 70 ; and the Cobsolids, 50,1 to g.
Transactions are recorded as follows :—Egyp-
tian, 961 ; Greek, 231 ; ditto for account,
23 ; Mexican, 26i, # ; Portuguese, 1856,
kc., 46.0 ; ditto for account, 46;‘, ; Rus-
sian, 1830, 841 ; ditto 1859, 53 ; ditto 1862,

cantile, I to 11 prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 15 to
; Anglo-Egyptian Bank, to 1 prem. ; Ottoman

Forr. o'Ciocx.

Consols are fractionally better, at 87i to for
money, and 88 to for the account. 102,000 f. in
gold has been taken to the Bank.
In bank shares yesterday, au exceptionally
unfavourable effect was produced by the failure of
a member of the Stock Exchange, a dealer, who
has a large and confused account open in the
shares of the finance companies anti banks. It ap-
pears that be has dealt in the shares of as many as
tit) or 70 different undertakings, including Loudon,
Hamburg, and Continental Bank, Bank of Hindus-
tan, China, and Japan, English and Swedish Bank,
at.d a number of concerns in which transactions
are comparatively rare. The consequer.ce was
that during part of the afternoon the quotations
for the shares of many banks were little more than
nominal.

The October dividends are not due at the Bank
until the 10th of that month, and will not be pay-
able until Thursday, the 13th.
The following notices, relating, respectively, to
the debts of Venezuela, New Granada, and Mexico,
were yesterday posted in the Stock Exchange ;
Venezuela Debt—Mews. Baring Brothers and Co.'s
agents in Venezuela advise having received for 55 per emit.
of the import duties for two weeks from Cuatona.bonse of
La Goers, 21,608.70 dole. ; Puerto Cabello, 3,782.17 dole.;
total, '2,,390.87 dole.
Venezuela (1861) Loan.—The General Credit and Fissile,
Company are in receipt of advioes by this mail of the fol.
lowing collections on account of this loan :—From Custom-1
house of La Onayra, 10,159.03 dole. ; Puerto Cabello,
6,364.13 dole. ; total, 16,543.18 dole. Amounts previously

Now Granada Debt—Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.
have received by this mail on account of New Granada divi-
dends—From Custom-beanie( Banta Marta, 1,6721.9 e. 2d.•
San Joel de Cuenta, 6701. 16e. WI; Riohacha, 244/.; Carta!
gens, 1911. Os. 6c1.; Sabanilla, 391. 155.; total, 2,818/. la. 6d.
Mexican Debt.—Me s. Baring Brothers and Co. have re-
ceived by this mail on account of Mexican dividends-
-79,987.21 dole.—Loodon, Sept. 29, 1864.
The General Credit and Finance Company have
notified that the bonds representing toe Venezuela
Loan of 1864 will be ready for issue on the 4th
October.

The exports of August are 'shown by the
Board of Trade returns to hive been larger
by 2,185,4651., or 15 per cent., than in the
same month of 1863, and larger by 3,444,6421., or
26 per cent., than in August, 1862 ; while, as re-
garde the eight months' comparison, the in-
crease is 18,964,303/., or 21 per cent., over
18ti.3, and 26,440,1121., or 32 per cent., over 1862.
It will be noticed from the foregoing comparison
that although the exports continue considerably in
excess of those for the corresponding periods of the
two previous years, the ratio of Increase for the
month of August was less than that for the first
eight months of the year. The check to the upward
movement in the export trade is doubtless due
chiefly to the increasing disturbance in the money'
market. The shipments of cotton piece goods continue
very large, being 4,775,1851. in August, 1864, against
3,745,3321. in 1863, and 3,140,9371. in 1862. As
regards most of the ether staples of export, the
movement is generally favourable, but in some
cases some tendency to fluctuation is indicated. The
tables of imports show that we have placed our-
selves under an increased liability to the foreigner,
and this tends to explain the frequent exports of
gold. The "computed real value' of the principal
articles of import for the month of August is as
follows
1862 £16,803,965
le6
1664 2%438,253
And for the first seven mouths of the three years:
1862 266.153,539
1862 98.307,002
1864 119,063,429
Generally it may be remarked that the magnitude
of the general trade of the country, both import
and export, accounts for the increased number of
bills seeking discount during the last few mouths,
and fur the consequent pressure upon our pecuniary
resources.

Messrs. Ogle and Ca, East India merchants, of
Great at. Helens, whose difficulties have been
currently reported in monetary circles during the
last week, have notified their stoppage iu the
subjoined circular to their creditors. The failure
has been caused by that of the Leeds Banking
Company, and the liabilities are roughly estimated
at about 500,0001. As the firm is expected ulti-
mately to be relieved of the bills bearing the
endorsement of the Leeds Banking Company the
liquidation, it is thought, will prove favourable.
The corresponding house at Calcutta, which is
understood to occupy a very good position, will not
be involved by the suspension here :

21, Great St. Helens, London (EC.), Sept. 29. I,
Sir,—Owing to the Leeds Banking Company being un►ble
to meet their engagements it is with the greatest regret we
have meet unexpectedly found that we could not carry on
our business without jeopardising the position of our credi.
tors and constituents. We therefore (notwithstanding the
proffered assistance of oar fnends) in the interest of all
macerate', have deemed it advisable to place our affairs in
course of liquidation, and have called io Messrs. Coleman,
Turquaod. Youngs, and CO. to take charge of our books.
The result of oar liquidation will necessarily depend on the
careful realisation Of our estate. Requesting your kind is-
dulgenos and co-operation—We are, air, your obedient
servants, °GUI and CO.

It appears that the aggregate defalcations of Mr.
Robert Byrne, of the Liverpool Stock Exchange,
who has just absconded, do not exceed about
13,0001., and that about 8,000/. of this will be
covered by the profit on the sale of stock, after de-
duction of the advances made upon it.
At an adjourned meeting of the creditors of
Messrs. Newby, Carson, and Co., in the East India
and China trade, held yesterday, it was decided that
the estate shall be assigned and wound up under IL-
spection. Siuce the last meeting, held on the 16th
inst., the *setts have diminished to the extent of
31,00 u/., through the decline in the value of cotton
and of consignments to various parts of the East.
The Midland Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 2,6831. over last year ; the
North Eastern an increase of 5,8781.; the Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire an increase of 3,548/. ; and
the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire an in-
crease of 4.621.

The following letter has been addressed by a
director of the Leeds Banking Company to a
banker in Loudon, and is curious as showing how
persons who have proved themselves flagrantly in-
competent to the discharge of the duties which they
have assumed can take upon themselves to teach
other persons to transact their business.
Sir,—The present position of the Wain of this bank
readers the parties interested most anxious with respect to
the realisation of unpaid bills. We shall therefore feel
obliged by your taking immediatesteps against all partite
to bills which may be dishonoured in your Sands. K e need
scarcely remind you th►t the adoption of this comes may
result in a more speedy payment of your debt than wa:tiog
the liquidatioe of the attars of the bank, at the same time
materially relieving the shareholders. Our request applies
store particularly to bills of small amounts, ea we tad that
such bills negotiated by this bank are generally paid when
the pressure is immediate. We have to request that no
terms may be made with parties to the bills without the
consent of this bank. We shall be further obliged if you
will from time to time advise us of the discharp of such
bills as may not have been paid at maturity.-1 am, yours
respectively, FUR SELF sax, Co-Inalcrons.

The private securities have increased 503,12114.,
owing to the demand for money usual towards the
close of the quarter, but the draught thus occa-
sioned upon the Bank's till having been fully com-
pensated by the influx of government and private
deposits, the reserve in the banking department
shows an increase of 47,8361. The export and
import movement, SP reported from day to day,
showed, for the week, a gain of about 130,0001. in
gold by the Bank, and as the coin and bullion now
show a decrease of 49,9841., it is to be inferred that
some amount of coin has been withdrawn from the
Bank on provincial account.

ACCIDENT TO A Cams DEA Ltit.—A eery serious
waist occurred on Friday afternoon last to Mr. Ben.
Jamie Grieves, of Worksop, an intensive cattle dewier,
who, having been at Lincoln market, called at Gainshoree
on his way home, baring some cattle grazing at that
piece. He was turning away from inspecting a cow, when
it rushed upon him, knocked him down. and gored him
with Its bores most fearfully. On his attempting to rime
the beset again attacked him, and rolled itself upon him.
tweaking his collarbone and bruiting hint all over hi body.
Assistance wu rendered as soon se possible by two boatmen
who were on the river bank, and owing to their aid Mr.
(heaved life was saved. He was afterwards conveyed to
his home at Worksop, and the assistanos of Mr. H. N.
Hatt, surgeon, celled in, under whose treatment hopes are
entertained of his recovery.--Stantford Mercury.
