MONEY MARKET.

•

TUESDAY ZYZNIXO.

The English stock market to-day was inanimate,
but steady. After one or two trifling variations,
prices closed the same as yesterday. Throughout
the Stock Exchange business is extremely restricted,
but on balance the public continue to invest, and
thus the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three
per Cent. stocks are wanted by the dealers for
transfer.

At Paris to-day the French funds closed much the
same as yesterday. The other continental stock mar-
kets remain quiet.
There was a more general demand for money to-
day in Lombard-street.
Consols ranged between 901 to 91 and 911 to
and closed at 91 to 1 cx div. for the 10th July.
In the foreign stock market the only movement
was in Turkish. The closing price of this stock yes-
terday was 811 to 82, and the opening quotation
this morning about 80, this serious fall being caused
by the evasive reply of Lord Palmerston last night to
Mr. Ricardo's question respecting the allege& Mew.
lien of government to guarantee a new loan for
Turkey. Subsequently, however, the appearance of
large buyers on foreign account caused a recovery
to 811, and the closing quotation was 811
to a. Other stocks were quiet and steady.
At a general meeting of the representatives of the
private banks in the city, held to-day, at the Clearing
House, the following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
That, in consequence of a paragraph having appeared in
the Times newspaper, to the effect that it would be thought
improper if anyone demanded from his bankers the examina-
tion of securities deposited with them by him for rale cus-
tody, the bankers unanimously declare their opinion that
the contrary is the cue, and that they have always consi-
dered such examination u a most proper and business-like
proceeding.
The foreign exchanges this afternoon were gene-
rally steady. On Hamburg and Amsterdam the
rates were a shade higher than on Friday. The quo-
Cation on Paris was scarcely altered, but there was
some inquiry for short paper. This unfavourable
feature is attributed to the operation of the forthcoming
loan. The transactions were limited.
There is still some inquiry for gold for exportation
to the Continent.
Land shares to-day were dull. The stock of the
Australian Agricultural Company was quoted lower.
In Bank shares the only feature was a decline of
about 11. in those of the South Australian Banking
Company. The shares of the English, Scottish, and
Australian Chartered Bank were flat. General Screw
Steam shares were dealt in at Ib3 to 16; Peninsular
and Oriental at 611 to 62 ex div.; and New York
and Erie Railroad Third Mortgage Bonds, 1883, at
87i (exchange, 4s. 6d.)

THIS DAY, Two o'CLocit.

The English funds to-day are perfectly stationary
in price, and business is almost at a stand-still. Con-
sole have not varied from yesterday's closing quota-
tion of 91 to lex div., for the 10th July. The
Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 92
to 921; the New Three per Cents. at 921 to ' ;

prem. ; ditto June, at 14s. to 17e. prem. ~omnium

The foreign stock market is equally inanimate.

nominally quoted 211 to 22 ; Spanish Deferred Three
per Cents., 181 to t ; and Russian Five per Cents.,
98 to 100. Sardinian Bonds have been dealt in at
