MONEY MARKET -THIS DAY.

Two *Twat.

The English funds opened quietly, but a premium
of sales was soon observable, and a rapid fall of } per
cent took pleat. The market is now somewhat Armen
but pries. are still quoted } per cent. lower than
they closed yesterday, Oonsola were quoted
861 to 87 early in the morning, fell
to 88} to I, and have since rallied
to 88} to } for money and Friday next. For the
November account the present quotation is 861 to j.
Exchequer Bills murk Bs. to 2e. discount, and India
Bonds 3s. die.

Turkish Six per Cents. have been in increased de-
mand, and have touched MI. The present quotation
is 844 to 4. The new Four per Cent. Loan has fallen
to 34 to 31 die. Peruvian Four•and-a-Half per Cents.
have been dealt in at 73, being lower; do., Three per
Cents., at 35 ex div. ; Dutch Four per Cents., at 984
to /ex div. ; Mexican, at 214 to i ; and DrasWan
Old Five per Cents., at 99 to 994 ex div. _ . .

The amount of specie brought in by the Africa
from New York is stated at 666,316 dols., or about
111,2001. It is satisfactory to notice that remit-
tances from that quarter have not yet ceased. In-
cluding 7,005 ounces of gold and 20,2651. in sove-
reigns brought in by the Speedy from Sydney, the
arrivals of the precious metals reported yesterday
amount to nearly 160,0001.
There is still a demand for gold for exportation to
the continent, which appears likely to absorb any
immediate arrivals.
In the wheat market yesterday only a partial clear-
ance was effected, but Monday week's prices were sup-
ported. Flour was in little or no demand for export.
The foreign arrivals last week were very moderate,
consisting of 1,630 qrs. of wheat from Chriatiansand,
700 from Moricq, 460 from New York, and 700 from
Seville, besides 4,161 barrels and 700 sacks of flour
from New York, 223 sacks from Oporto, and 1,219
sacks from Requejade. The exports during the same
period comprised 4,395 qrs. of wheat, 2,026 qrs. of
oats, and 2,463 owls. of flour. Since last Friday no
less than 67 cargoes of grain have arrived off the
coast at ports of call, of which 18 are wheat, 36
maize, 2 rye, and 1 beans. Nearly all of these were-
sold previous to arrival, and for the few remaining
cargoes full pries' are asked.
Advice@ from Paris mention a report that some
extensive sales of stock have been effected in that
market by a well-known Dutch house, which is pre-
sumed to contemplate raising a loan for Resole. It
is remarked u singular that the Lyons and Mediter-
ranean Railway Company should select the present
period of depression for the issue of 30,000 fresh
bonds. As an illustration of the speculative feeling
prevailing in that market, it is also mentioned that,
despite the critical state of the money market, a dis-
position has been evinced to deal in securities in
which no business had taken place for a long time
past. Thus numerous transactions are stated to have
occurred in shares in the Napoleon Docks, at 191 tr.
and 195 fr. These docks have a capital of about two
millions sterling, in 200,000 shares of 250 fr. each,
with 123 fr. paid. The highest price they have ever
touched is 305 fr. The shares of the Flax Spinning
Company, known as the "Lin Cohen and Co., were
also inquired for at 605 fr., the par being 5001 r., and
the highest point ever attained 660 fr.
According to the latest advice. from St. Petersburg
the tallow market was 'toady, the current business
being chiefly on German account, with deferred pay-
ments. The quantity of tallow despatohed overland
was 43,000 ea4cs this year against 65,269 to the cor-
responding period of last year.
The following is from the Committee of Mexican
Bondholders :
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have bad a sem-
mastication from B. 0. Faris., Esq., to the effect that his
government has accepted his resignation of the Meals's'
tin mild agency in London, and reappointed to that office
Colonel Yam°, who resumed it on the 6th inst. He also
states that the new blexioan g ent had, on the 2nd
ult., decided to suspend the effect of the decree of the 30th
September, 1854, relative to the deferred bonds which had
been loaned in excess in the oonvenion of 1837, and which
had been abut out from the conversion of 1846, and to let
it stand over for the present for further consideration.
The Admiralty received tenders this day for
the conveyance from the River Thames of

The half-yearly meeting of the West Middlesex
Waterworks Company is called for the 6th November,
and that of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Com-
pany for the 96th inst.
In the market for land shares yesterday the only
feature was a decline in those of the Canada Land
Company. The shares of the two recently-established
Australian Banks were flatter, whilst City Bank
shares advanced 1!., closing at 2to 4 prem. East
and West India Dock stock was dealt in at 119 to
120; London Dock at 100 to 101; Victoria Dock
new shares at lok and 10 (101. paid); Australian
Royal Mail at 4; ; General Screw Steam at 141
and North of Europe Steam at 131 (151. paid).

MONDAY EVINING.

The English stock market to-day showed increased
heaviness, closing at almost the lowest point of the
day, and 1 per cent. lower than en Saturday. The
public continue steady buyers of stock, but the supply
from the Bank also goes on, and the position of the
money market is still so unsettled as to lead commer-
cial men to look with doubt to each weekly board at
the Bank of England.
In the Stock Exchange to-day money was mei/ at
31 to 4 per cent. on government securities. In the
discount market there was an abundant supply, but
a good demand, and no relaxation of rates is con-
ceded. Long-dated paper is especially out of favenr.
Consols opened at 871 to 1, declined to 861 to 1,
and were finally quoted 881 to 87 for money and the
12th inst. The " contango" to the November ac-
count ruled at 3-16 to 1 per cent. Great isteteet is
expressed with respect to the Consol settling of
Friday next, which may have considerable influence
in determining the immediate course of prices. The
official business report is as follows t—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 87a, 87, 861, 87; ditto, for ac-
count, 12th October, 871, 1,2, 87, 86i, 87. Three-
and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling pay-
able in 1858, 981, 1 ; ditto, in 1859. 981, 1.
Exchequer Bills were dealt in at se. to le. die.,
and India Bonds at 3s. die. to 3s. prem. Exchequer
Bonds were rather firmer than last week, at 98 to Z.
Owing to some money purchases of Turkish Six
per Cent. Bonds, the price touched to-day 831. The
closing quotation was 831 to a, or per cent. above
that of Saturday. The scrip of the New Four per
Cent. Guaranteed Loan, on the other hand, exhibited
increased depression, and fell to 31 discount. Although
one of the purchases was to the extent of 80,0001.,
this recuri y showed no recovery to the close, being
finally quoted 3to 21 discount. The chief immediate
cause of depression appears to rest with the heavy in-
stalment of 20 per cent. which falls payable on the
20th inst., but the aspect of the market for this stock
exhibits altogether an apt illustration of the cautious
disposition at present prevailing. This Four per Cent.
Guaranteed security, however, now standing below
100, it is probable that exchanges into it from other
classes of our home government stocks may be
tempted. Spanish Bonds were rather flatter.
The scrip of the New French Loan closed
at discount to par.
At Vienna on Saturday the exchange on London
fell from 118. to 10.33, and the premium on gold and
silver declined 1 to 1 per cent.
