MONEY MARKET—TaIS DAY.

Two o'Czoon.
The tendency of the stock markets oontinues down-
wards, bat die English funds maintain their price with

1 .
comparative steadiness. Present quotation; are only
1 per ant. lower than they closed yesterday. Con-
sole are quoted 801 to i for money, and 80i to a for

the 12th of October. India stook has bsen ;leak
in at 230 to 231; Bank Stock, for amount, at 218;

Ikehequer Bills, at be. to 10e. prem.; and India
Bolds at 16e. prem.
Turkish stocks show a heavy fall, the Six per Cents.
having been sold se low as 901, and the Four per
Cent.. at par. After recovering to 914, the
Six per Cents. are now quoted 90/ to I. and the
New Loin, to prem. Spanish Deferred Three
per Ceuta. are quoted 19/ to 20. Equador Bonds

have been dealt in at 4i ; Mexican at 211 to I;

Smith Old Three per Cents. at nt,; French scrip
at 21 to 21 prom.; end Dutch Four per Cent. Certi-
ficates, at 96 to 96i.

The efflux of gold from the Bank has not yet
maned, further parcels having been withdrawn yester-
day.
ne amount of specie brought in by the Tagus,
es Portugal, is only 6,8361.
The foreign exchanges this afternoon generally
showed a further improvement, the supply of bills'
being considerably in excess of the demand. The
quotations for Austrian paper, however, ruled lower,
owing to the firmer feeling reported ss prevailing at
Vienna. The current rates are annexed, vie., cm
Paris, at short, 26.20 to 26; ditto, three months,
26.471 to 621; on Amsterdam, short, 11.17 to 3;
ditto, three months, 11.19 to 1; Hamburg, 13.81 to
9 ; Frankfort, 118/ to 119 ; Vienna, 11.16 to 29 ; and
Trieste, 11.17 to 22.
The corn market yesterday was firm at last Monday's
rates, but several parcels of wheat realised an ad-
vance of ls. to 2a. per qr. The demand for certain
kinds of wheat and Spanish flour for exportation to
France continues very active. The arrivals of foreign
grain in London are still very small, amounting this
week to only 6,880 qrs. of wheat, 670 of barley, and
6,100 of oats. Off the coast, at "ports of call," only
nine cargoes of wheat and three of maize have arrived
sines Friday week. A large business has been done
this week in floating cargoes, chiefly for the United
Kingdom. The latest reports from abroad confirm
the impression that is a considerable portion of
western Europe, including France, Belgium, Holland,
and part of Germany, the result of the h is not
satisfactory. The demand to supply this continental
deficiency will tend to check the hoped-for fall in
corn in the Loudon market. At Paris a fresh rise in
the price of flour has taken place.
The Emigration Commissioners will receive tenders
on the 20th inst. for the hire of two ships, to proceed
respectively to Sydney and Portland Bay, and to be
ready to receive passengers between the Bth and 16th
of November.
Advice. from St. Petersburg to the 6th inst. quote
the exchange on London at 36 3-16 to 6-16 d. The
tallow market was quiet, but 700 casks had been
taken for transmission westward. The rest of the
overland transit wits still rising. The weather was

rainy.
The Midland Railway Company have just issued a
notice inviting tenders of loans on debentures, in
sums of 1001. and upwards. It is a pity that this ne-
gotiation could not have been carried out a week or
two ago, before the late rise of 1 per cent. in the rate
of discount.
The Australian Agricultural and Peel River Corn-
panies' shares to-day were flatter, but those of the
Canada Land Company continue in favour. Bank
shares were quiet. The stock of the new City Bank
was better, at sto 7 rem. General Screw Steam
shares were dealt in at 15 to 1; Peninsular and
Oriental at 691; Royal Mail Steam at 791 to 80;
and New York and Erie Railroad Third Mortgage
Bonds, 1883, at 86 (exchange, Bs. 6d.).
The remarkable rise in the sugar market continues.
The following weekly summary of the produce
market is extracted from the circular of Mews. W.
J. and R. Thompson :
A good amount of businees has been done during the
week, and in many instances at embalmed quotations. The ,
public sales of sager have not bean extensive, but privately
urge mammies, have occurred, and prices generally show
a rise of about le. 6d. per cwt. The native sorts of Ceylon
coffee have been in request,and sales have been made at 604.
to 615., being an enhancement of le. to Is. 6d. per cwt.
and an advance of le per cwt. has been paid for Pl.ntaties
Ceylon. Several sales of spice have been held, at white
black pepper has advanced id., and white pepper id. to I.d.
per lb., but eaasia lignea bee declined Is. per cwt. Saltpetre
dull of sale, and of the parcels offered ealy a few less
sold on lower terms. Rice continues steady. A moderate
business has bee. effected in tea, and quotations rale as last
week.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Saturday, Sept. 8, when compared with the
previous return, shows the following results :
Cireolation issue
Circulation active 20,142.106 laczeam 37,476

Seven day and ether bills 991,666 Increase 11,705
The Rest

The subjoined exhibits the extent of the week's

Rest femme.. 8,817
On the other ride of the account:
Goverment' securities iceman .. No change
Other securities •• 975,242
Coin and bullion decrease .. 711,742

Total
These changes, especially the increase of nearly
one million in the private securities, and the decrease
of nearly three-quarters of a million in the bullion
and of 769,2171. in the reserve, indicate a great pres-
sure for money, and fully account for the rise in the
rate of discount. The increase in the Treasury
balances is not large. Next week's return is ex-
pected to exhibit changes similar in tendency.

FRIDAY BYRNIII

The English funds maintain gnat comparative
steadiness, but closed to day 1 per cent. lower then
yesterday. In the other departments of the market
the downward tendency is more apparent. The
chief feature in the Stock Exchange to-clay was con-
siderable prfteure for money, which commanded at
one period of the day as much as five per cent. upon
deposit of government seconds% Some large parcels
of Exchequer Bills have been thrown upon the
market for realisation by bankers and others, who
are now able to find more profitable employment for
their funds. '1 he price of Exchequer Bills stood
yesterday at 10s. to lbs. prem. ; to-day sales
were reseed as low as 3s. prem. and the closing
quotation was 6s. to lOs. prem. These
sales, coupled with the recent heavy realisations of
stock on account of the Bank of England, and the
instalment on the Turkish loan, which appears to be
largely held by the dealers, sufficieatly accent for
the pressure in the Stock Exchange. The discount
houses to day raised their rate for money "at call"
to 31 per cent., and, at a short notice, to 31 per cent.
The various joint stock banks have also raised the
rate for deposit accounts at ten days' notice to 31 per
cent. The rates of discount are maintained at the
enhanced range lately established by the Back, and a
good general demand for accommodation is still este-
' deuced. •

Consols were quoted during a part tithe m:crislnei
at 903 to g for the 12th of October, bet-had ro
at the close to 903 to 3. For money the final quo-
tation was 903 to I. The difference between the
price for money and that for aebount is now more
considerable. The official business report is u fel-
lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for meet 903,„
3, ; ditto, for account, 12th Oct., 90 3,3, 3;
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bon s, falling
payable in 1869, 1003, 1003; India Stock, 229, 230;
India Bond., 20s. prim.
The New Thirty Years Annuities, expiring in
1886, were dealt in at 17 per 11. annuity.
The foreign stuck market was rather Batter, but the
decline was mainly confined to Turkish securities,
which appear at present to eager chief speculative
attention in this department. The biz per Cent.
Bonds marked 93 in the morning, but had defined
at the sloes to 92 to 3, or upwards of 1 per
cent. lower than yesterday. The new Four
per Cent. guaranteed scrip ranged between 3 and I
rem., and closed, with a dull appearance, at g to
prem. The rise in the vales of money renders the
position of weak holders of this stock more difficult,
owing to the rapidity and heaviness of the accruing
instalments.
