MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoci.

The stock markets to-day are better, the pro-
spects of foreign politics being regarded more
hopefully. A good effect has also been produced
by the arrival of a very large mass of specie. The
funds have risen per cent., and some of the chief
home railway stocks 1. The principal improve-
ment, however, is in the speculative foreign bonds.
This is settling day in shares and foreign stocks.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted
66fr. 35c., being sc. lower than yesterday.
Consols are now quoted 94 to # for money, and
90# to for the account (February 4). The official
business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 90/, 3 ; ditto for account,
901, # ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901, 1, ;
New Three per Cents., 94, 1, ; India Five per
Cent. Stock, 1541, #, 104 ; ditto Bonds, par ; and
Exchequer Bills, 45., 10s. dia.
Foreign stocks have improved. The Confede-
rate Loan is 1 per cent, better, at 47 to 49 ; Mex-
ican and Turkish Consolid4s better, at sig to
36/, and 4611t0 1, respectively ; Greek, I) better,
at 213 to I ; and Spanish Passive Bonds
higher, at 321 to 331. Transac-
tions are recorded as follows ....Brazilian
Old Five per Cents., 101.4 ; Danish, 1864, 93 ;
Dutch Certificates, 101/ ; Egyptian, 101 ;
Greek, 21 ; ditto, for account, 211, 1 ;
ditto Coupons, ; Italian, for account,
671 ; Mexican, 34 ; ditto, for account,
36, 351 ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 84 ; Portu-
guese, 1856, dm, 471 ; ditto, for amount, 47# ;
Russian, 1862, 88; Spanish Passive, for account,
321, 33, ; ditto Certificates, for account, 131 ;
Turkish, 1858, 74 ; ditto, 1862, 671; ditto, for
account, 671 ; ditto Guaranteed, 102 ; Vene-
zuela, 23.

International Financial shares are quoted 71
to prem. ; General Credit, 21 to prem.; Lon-
don Financial, 101 to prem.; Egyptian
Trading, 21 to it prem.; Consolidated Dis-
count Company, 1 dis. to par ; Mauritius
Land Credit and Mortgage, to prem. ;
Diaoonnt Corporation, 31 to prem. ; Austra_
lien and Eastern Steam, 34 to 1 prem. ; Land
Securities, 1 to 11 prem. ; and Mercantile Credit,
31 to 41 prem.

The steamer Atrato, from the West Indies, has
brought as much as 755,500/. in specie, chiefly silver.
Letters from Paris state that the money market
has suddenly become easier.
The letters from Calcutta state that for loans on
government securities, with a margin of 3.) per
oent., 25 per cent, per annum interest is offered.
The severe pressure for money at Calcutta and
Bombay is of course calculated to attract capital
from this country for employment at the tempting
rates there offered, and this movement will natu-
rally have some effect upon our financial position.
Thus, for instance, the Land Mortgage Bank of
India are upon the point of sending out 200,0001.
So far, however, as regards our money market, a
certain counteracting influence will be exercised by
the paralysis of boldness in the great Indian
ports. The advice, published this morning
show that merchants in India are now prevented
from exporting produce by the complete absence of
the requisite monetary facilities. There is, in fact,
a dead lock in the Indian export trade, and this
signifies a certain check to speculation in cotton.
The steamer New York has brought 40,0001. in
specie from New York for England.
At a general board of directors of the Thames
and Mersey Marine Insurance Company, held yes-
terday, it was determined to propose to the share-
holders at the forthcoming meeting, a dividend at
the rate of 10 per cent. per annum.
We understand that the applications already re-
oeived from the shareholders in the National Dis-
count Company for the new shares are largely in
excess of the number to be allotted, and that there
will, therefore, be none to offer to the public.
The Midland Railway traffic return shows this
week an increase of 5,286/. over last year ; the
North Eastern an increase of 4,845/. ; the Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire an increase of 3,501/. ; and
the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire an in-
crease of 3,132/.
A special meeting of the Channel Islands Hotel
Company (Limited) is called for the 18th February,
at Weymouth, to decide upon the dissolution of the
company.
The half-yearly meeting of the Midland Railway
Company will be held ou the 10th February, at
Derby.
The directors of the London, Italian, and Adriatic
Steam Navigation Company have intimated that,
" being desirous of giving, as far as possible, an
allotment of shares to every applicant, they are
unable for a few days to issue the letters of allot-
ment."

Mr. Philip Vanderbyl, of the firm of Redfern,
Alexander, and Co., of Great Winchester-street,
has joined the direction of the Financial Corpora-
tion (Limited).
We are requested to mention that the share list of
the International Race Course Society will be closed
on Saturday, the 30th inst.
The half-yearly interest, due the lat February,
on the bonds of the Havana and Marianao Railroad
Company, is advertised for payment in due course
by Messrs. Cavan, Lubbock, and Co.
The ship Eastern Empire has been taken up for
the conveyance of government emigrants to Ade-
laide, S.A.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Jan. 27, compared with that for
the previous week, shows the following changes :
Circulation issue 47,001,010 Increase (46,520
Circulation active

These changes are of a more favourable character
than those lately presented. The coin and bullion
have increased 48,1111., while the addition to the
reserve—caused chiefly by the increase in the go-
vernment deposits, combined with the decrease in
the private securities—is as much as 588,2311.

provement in Alliance, Bank of Egypt, Imperial,

able statements which have been circulated with
regard to the report to be presented at the meeting
on the Ist of March. The market, however, sym-
pathised in the afternoon with the general licovi-
nese of the Stock Exchange, and closed at hi to 7
pram. It is understood that the figures given is
our impression of t..is morning, as representing this
company's profits, are rather under than over stated,
but it is hardly necessary to remark that the exact
rate of dividend to be paid has yet to be fixed by
the vote of the board.

MINEB.--(THIS DAYJ

Two o'CLoot.

In the mining market to-day the fortnightly
settlement almost exclusively engages the atten-
tion of the dealer!, and prices exhibit little change
compared with thuee last current yesterday. Bast
Lovell shares have risen 10a., the present quotation
being 91 to 10k. Wheal Seton are quoted 160 to
165 ; and West Seton, 190 to 195. No trammeling

At Wheal Kitty St. Agnes meeting yesterday the
accounts showed a credit balance of 1,8801. A
dividend of ss. per share was declared.
At Wheal Hope meeting, held yesterday, the ac-
counts showed assets over liabilities of 1071. la. a;
but as a steam-whim, crusher, &e., have been pur-
chased, and may cost 5001. for erection, etc., lam
committee recommended a call of Si. per sham,
which was agreed to. The report was considered of
a favourable character. The shaft has now been
cleared to the bottom 31 fathoms below the 7.) level.
The ends of the shaft are valued at 81. per fathom,
and the sinking will be at onommenced on a
good lode, and every exertion ado to get down to
the 85. The 65 has gone 15 fathoms through a con-
tinuous course of ore, worth 91. to 121. per fathom;
the end still rich, with every prospect of improving,
as 15 fathoms a-head of the end there was a rick
lode in the 48. The 75 end is now close upon
where the 65 came into ore, and here an improre-
meat may be looked for. The lead ore sold pasta,
day realised 7731. 7a. ; thirty-four tons of No. 1
realised 201. ss. 6d. per ton ; No. 2, six tons, 144.
per ton.

.. . .

The 10 fms level out of engine shaft on the No. 6 101 ti
is in about two fathoms, the lode during the past 6 feet bee
greatly improved, both in Mae and character. It is our
fully 33 feet wide, beautifully made up of quarts. copper
pyrites, carbonite of lime, and occasional spots of lead sad
blends, indeed, it is a strong and promising lode, and
samples, which are being washed almost dail►, never fad to
show gold. In the No. 2 edit level, the lode is still small
and poor. Sinee our last we have taken the men from the
No. 2 A end back to enlarge the shaft, in order to fix a
lift of pumps ; this being done weaken at once commence to
send down our pitwork, den, and hope by oar nut we
shall be in a position to report this shaft to be resensed
slaking, sod as well the water wheel to be at work. le
this shaft the lode has shown some very fair sarnelie of
gold on being washed. coeseqoantly we are very aazioes
put it through to the No. 2 adit le►el. The Welliogtos and
North Vigra lodes are mach the sum sa when last reported.
