MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoos.

The stock market remains dull, notwithstanding
the somewhat favourable character of the Bank of
England return, published this morning. Consols are
unchanged for money, but have declined 1-16 per
cent. for the account. English railway shares and
foreign securities are also lower in several in-
daunts. Confederate bonds have been unfavourably
affected by the news just received from America.
As usual on Friday, there is rather more demand
for money, and the supply is somewhat smaller.
Good three months' bills, however, are still taken
at Ito 1 per cent. In the Stock Exchange the
rate for short loans has advanced to 5 to 6 per cent.,
some considerable sums having been withdrawn.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
66fr. 30c., showing no change.

Consols are now quoted 89 to 1 for money, and
891 to 1 for the account (September 8). The offi-

Foos o'CLocs.

Consols are quoted 89 to I for money, and 891
for the account, being fractionally better in the
latter instance compared with the quotation cur-
rent at 2 o'clock. No bullion operations are re-
ported at the Bank.

Attention continues to be directed to the large
amount of specie due by the Weet India steamer
Shannox, on Monday, and the estimate is still
plaoed by competent authorities at over 1,000,0001.
The greater part of this remittance is silver, chiefly
it is believed Mexican dollars.

The silver market is quiet, with an absence of
business pending the receipt of telegrams giving
the quotation of the Bombay exchange.
The stoppage is announced of Messrs. Gunther
and Muller, merchants, of Mincing-lane, but their
liabilities are understood not to be very large.
Extraordinary meetings of the Imperial Bank of
China, India, and Japan, and of the Bank of Hin-
dustan, China, and Japan, were held yesterday,
when resolutions were passed in favour of the amal-
gamation of the two undertakings.
The following railway dividends are officially
announced, viz., Great Western at the rate of 3 per
cent,
per annum, South Wales 3k, Oxford 2i, and
Newport 11.
A special meeting of the Charing-cross Hotel
Company is called for the let of September to con-
firm the resolution passed at the ordinary meeting
amending the articles of association.
The ship Spitfire has been engaged for the con-
veyance of emigrants to Adelaide.

The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Aug. 24, compared with that for
the previous week, shows the following changes :

The most satisfactory feature in the above ac-
count is the rather large increase in the reserve.
Coin appears to be still withdrawn for the pro-
vinces the augmentation in the bullion being again
below the amount of Australian and other gold
known to have been purchased. A further decrease
has taken place in the other deposits. The difference
in the rest arises from the adjustment of the
accounts preparatory to the declaration of a
dividend.
