MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocw.

The English fends have again risen 1 to Iper
cent. to-day, owing to the satisfactory news from the
seat of war, coupled with the splendid weather.
Consols for the 6th September have ranged between
911 and and 911, and are now quoted 911
to 1. For money the present quotation is 911 to a.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at
921; the New Three per Cents. at 921 to 93; the
New 30 Years' Annuities at 16 15-16 per IL; Ex-
chequer Bills, March, at 12s. to 13s. prem. ; ditto
June, at 12s. to 15.. prem.

The foreign stock market is very quiet, but
Turkish Six per Cents. continue to meet with atten-
tion, and have risen to 93 to 3. The scrip of the New
Loan is quoted 3 to 31 prem., and that of
the New French Loan, 23 to 31 premium.
Buenos Ayres Bonds are firmer, marking 57. Granada
Deferred have been dealt in at 73 ; Sardinian at 87;
and Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. at 933
(exch. 25fr.)

Owing to the sustained improvement in the ex
changes, there is at present scarcely any inquiry
for gold for exportation to the continent. The accu-
mulation of gold here, however, is checked by the
smallness of the recent arrivals.
The Emigration Commissioners will receive tenders
on the 23rd inst. for the hire of a ship to proceed to
Moreton Bay, and to be ready for passengers between
the 11th and 19th of October.

The Mexican financial agent in London has issued
a notice to the holders of the unconverted Mexican
Deferred Bonds of 1837, inviting them to send in the
particulars of their claims by the 16th of September,
" the Mexican government being desirous of coming
to a settlement with the holders" of these bonds. A
suspicion is entertained in some quarters that, under the
plea of converting these bonds, another attempt is
about to be made to introduce the over-issue of Li-
zardi'a bonds on the market. A project of this kind,
'should such be entertained, needs only to be exposed
to be overthrown. Hopes are expressed by some of
the Spanish American bondholders, and are encou-
raged by the threatening tone adopted towards the
government of Buenos Ayres by the British Vice
Consul, that the financial iniquities perpetrated by
several of these states will receive a check. The out-
rage recently detailed in letters from Mexico, accord-
ing to which the officials of the government had
forcibly broken open a box and abstracted a portion
of the Customs revenues that had been handed over
to the agents of the British bondholders, ie likely to
induce prompt intervention on the part of our govern-
ment, in defence of the property of its citizens.
The transfer books of the South Eastern Railway
Company are to be closed from the Ist to the 14th
September.
It was decided at a meeting of the Scottish Austra-
lian Investment Company to continue the under-
taking for one year longer on its present Weis, in
order to ascertain the effect of the new Limited
Liability Act.
