MONEY MARKET-MEMO DAL)

dOwcw.

The stock markets generally retain • very dull
appearance. Uncertainty with regard to the Polish
question continues to induce speculative sales.
The funds, however, are well supported at
Saturday's prices, being strengthened by con-
tinued investments on the part of the public ; and
the market for home railway stocks retains ita
position as one of the steadiest departments at the
Stock Exchange. Foreign securities, on the otber
hand, are still suffering severely, and to-day pre-
sent a further and almost general fall. A bad
effect has been produced by news of a fresh de-
cline this morning on the Paris Bourse.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at
66fr. 70c., being rather more than per cent. lower
than on Saturday.
Consols are now quoted 924 to 3 for money, and
92 11 16 to 1316, or 921, for the amount (Aug. 6).

Foreign stocks are generally lower, including
Greek, Egyptian, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, Pe-
ruvian, and Italian. Greek Bonds have declined
per cent., being now quoted 324 to 1. Spanish
Passive are last marked 31/, and the Certificates,
111. Mexican Bonds were in demand in
the morning, and improved, but have since re-
lapsed, and now show dulness. The Turkish Loan
of 1854 is steady at 921 to 93, but that of 1858 is

count, 56f.
The news from America, being regarded as very
unfavourable to the cause of the South, the Confede-
rate Loan has declined 31 per cent., the present
quotation being 74 to 61 die. Italian scrip is
quoted par to prem., and Venezuelan, 2to 1 dia

We have received a copy of the prospectus of the
Patent File Company (Limited} This undertaking
is formed with • very respectable board, comprising
every requisite practical element to manufacture
B'es by machinery in lieu of hand labour, thus
ensuring a material reduction of cost and improve-
ment of quality. Great advantages are claimed for
the machines to be used by the company, and are
attested by reports from many eminent manufac-
turers. The first works are to be erected in Bir-
miogbaro, where cheap fuel and materials, as well
as skilled artisans, are to be obtained in abundance.
A description is given of the contract which bas
been made with the proprietor, Mr. Allinson, for
the purchase of the patents. With the exception
of 3,0001. in cash, which is to be handed to him
upon the execution of the transfer, be is to receive
no further payment whatever until the company
shall have realised a net profit of 10 per cent. upon
the paid up capital. The capital is fixed at
103,000 i. in 10,000 shares of 101. each, of which it
is estimated that not more than 50,000/. will be
required to set the works in full operation.
Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's
