MONEY MARKET.
WSDNESDAT EVEWING.
Reports have been current of a heavy pressure for
money in the discount market to-day, but on inquiry
in the proper quarters they do not appear to be Justi-
fied to any extent. It is not improbable that some
-reluctance might be manifested in banking quarters
to extend accommodation on the eve precisely of the
departure of the Caledonia steam-packet for the
United States. So far as can be learned the discount
market remained without alteration ; with high rates
to be paid, bat with facilities not more restricted other-
wise for respectable paper.
It is to be noticed otherwise, however, that a cer-
tain anxiety. prevails about the state of business in
connexion with India. For three or four years past
that branch of commerce has been carried on under
very adverse conditions, both in respect of exported.
and imported commodities. It is not therefor; ex-
traordinary that a sort of uneasiness should be ma-
nifested previous to and on the arrival of each East
Indian express about the position of affairs there, and
,the stability of mercantile interests.
In a lower but still important grade of trading
interests here, there is perhaps more occasion for dis-
quietude. Building enterprise is generally considered
to have been carried on to some excess, the eonse-
quencee of which, in the actual embarrassed position
of the money market, are beginning to be visited
upon the entrepreneurs, or speculators in that line.
It is observed that, even for the most elegant houses
is the choicest asd most fashionable vicinities, no pur-
&seers are to be found by private bargain or at auction
sales, although it is presumed from circumstances
there must be a desire to realise property of that de-
scription into money, even at considerable sacrifices. It
is moreover, a fact notorious to every one resident in, or
in the habit of strolling about, the environs of the
metropolis, that the quantity of buildings commenced,
and yet unfinished, is really enormous. The carcases,
er skeletons, of the houses are there, and have been
for months, in more or lees progress towards comple-
tion, but of these a very large proportion have not
reached the most of all necessary processes of being
covered in, so as to avoid damage from the weather.
The story of the speculators may be read in
the total absence of the workmen who should
be there to make the buildings ready for
occupation, and place the speculating undertaker in
a position by the receipt of rents to meet his bills,
pay his ground rents, and obtain returns on his capi-
tal expended. The conclusion of course is, that his
means are expended, his credit exhausted, and that
nothing material remains for the satisfaction of bills
running, and money raised on the buildings per
story as they arc raised, and the ground lease,
but the skeleton wrecks of houses battered and
breached from day to day by the accidents of
weather, or the waste caused by ill-conditioned
neighboarhoods upon unprotected property. The
discount brokers of a lower but still respectable
standing, are chiefly concerned with the description
of bill values in connexion with the building trade,
and must therefore suffer to some, although not to
; any considerable, extent. The chief sufferers, so far
as money accommodation, will be the clients of soli-
, citors, who may have been induced to adventure ad-
vances on ground leases and on the buildings, upon a
system of so much per floor, or, as sometimes under-
stood, per story, and who remain therefore unprotected.
The fends have been very calm to-day. in point of
business, if not of
.prices. The linainess, in fact, was
an affair of small jobbing merely. Speculation was
lout of the question. Nevertheless, sluggish as business
was, the range of fluctuations embraced a difference
of per cent. Console opened at 86; to 7 for ac-
count, and 861 to r for money ; they left off 87 to 4-
for money, and ft.U., to for account. They were
done, however, higher. After the regular business
hour bargains were transacted u lower. Reduced
Threes were 871 to „. Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 89 to y. Long Annuities, 9 to 1-16. Ex-
chequer Bills, 2s. discount to ls. premium. India
Bonds, 2s. discount to 2s. premium.
The dealings in foreign stocks were rather more
active to-day, although not of much consideration ea
the whole, Brazilian were firm at 83 to 5, and done
at S 4. Mexican were weak at 181 to New
Granada, 19 to Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
56 to the Fours, 881 to 91. Spanish Fives, 20; to
; the Threes, 30 to I. Portuguese, 27 to 8. Rus-
sian, 109 to 111.
Another failure at Antwerp was reported of some
consideration, but particulars not exactly stated.
The name of the house transpired, but, in the absence
of molt certain information, need not be given. The
failure is understood to be connected with the corn

trade.
It was apprehended, and indeed the fact has been
positively aMemed in some quarters, that noted and
protested bills for several hundred thousand pounds
would be returned to the United States by the steamer
Caledonia leaving to-morrow. There is, however,
the best grounds for believing that the amount of
such bills protested for non-acceptance or non-pay-
ment has been grossly overcharged, and that indeed
it will comparatively, be inconsiderable, both as re-
spects number and value. It is known that in several
instances the dishonoured paper has been protected by
houses here for the credit of their Americaneorrespon-
dents, as in the case of the bills of Prime,Ward,and Co.,
of New York, on Messrs. Giles and Co., one of the
suspended houses, which have been covered, or taken
up for their honour, by Messrs. Borings. The ques-
tion of damages on protest arising out of exchange
and re-exchange will probably be little affected or
diminished, however, by these friendly interventionti.
The bills when noted for non-acceptance by the par-
ties on whom drawn muse still have to run out their
course, and then, on refusal of payment, be protested
in form, so as to legalise the claim of debt and the
costs resulting. In the case of bills which have ma-
tured, the same notarial Lanus must, of course, be
gone through.
The effect which these unfortunate derangements
of business may have upon the rate of exchange
betwixt this country_ and the United States is
matter of interest. There appears to be no doubt
expressed among the best informed merchants, that,
in the first instance, it must tend to improve the
exchange. It will throwi the exchange business into
the hands exclusively of the leading houses there,
because, from the distrust necessarily inspired, no
one having remittances to make will buy any but
bills with first-class names upon them. These
will oommand, therefore, the best terms, and,
consequently, higher rates will most probably
come by the return correspondence. In the mean
time, supposing the fall business there in goods to be as
extraordinarily extensive as anticipated, and as orders
already would lead to believe, the high rates will re-
ceive some support.
It must not be disguised, however, that the advices
from the cotton manufacturing districts here are far
hem enioureging- as to any extension of business
there. The trade article of the Manchester aurier,
written generally with practical intelligence, reports
unflivearahly of more mills stopped, working short
time, and some two thousand operatives more thrown
out of employ, wholly or partially, in one week.
