MONEY KARlfir-THIS DAT.

Two o't'Looz.

This being the day fixed foe the striking at the
half-yearly baba* at the Bank at England, the
Stock Exchange is closed, according to custom.
To-day (Saturday), being All Saints Day, will,
also be a holiday at the Paris Bonne.
A report is prevalent that the oosoosoloa of the
Rumba system of railways has bees mode to the
Ortdit Mobilier Society of Paris, in menjuaetion with
other continental capitalists. The only English
house which rumour apogees with this projected
financial operation is that of Mesers.Baring, Brother%
sad Co. We cannot imagine for a moment that an
undertaking of this magnitude will be brought
forward at the present period of monetary mbar-
resement. Were subscriptions to be invited in Eerie,
involving the certainty of an aggravation of the drain
of gold from France, the government would rarely
step forward, as it has done on former occasions, to
restrain the dangerously speculative spirit of the
Mobilier Society. It is highly probable,
however, that the project will be bunched as soon as
the money market shall have resumed an easier

appearance.
It is reported from Liverpool that the shipments of
gold by the James Balms reach the extraordinary
total of 173,639 ounces, or about 894,0004 This vessel
mailed from Melbourne on the Bth August, and has
therefore base 84 days at sea. The wind having now
turned to the westward, her arrival may be looked
for any hoar. Owing to the magnitude of the re-
mittance, and to the tightness of the money market,
many parties are inoliaed to think that, despite the
urgency of the continental demand for gold, the in-
tending exporters will find difficulty in raising
at ono@ the needful sum. In this case there
may be a prospect of some portion of the
supply being sent Into the Bank. It is certain,
however, that every effort will be made to raise the
money, as otherwise the only available stock of gold
is that in the Bank of England, for which the Bank's
fixed selling pries of W. 17s. 10jd. per ounce stan-
dard is of course exacted.

The shipments of silver by the Maumee Media,
which will leave Southampton en Tuesday next for
Alexandria, are expected to reach the heavy ailment,
of about 700,0001. Were it not for Use scarcity of
silver and Mexican dollars fa the market at the pre-
sent moment, the shipments would be even larger.
Oa 'Chang, yesterday there was • good demand for
bills co most continental places, and the rates on
Holland, Hamburg and Paris wet* tooted slightly
lower. Paper on Italian cities could only be planed
with difficulty. The current quotations ars sub-

FRIDAY Evneuro.
The tendency of the funds is still upwards. The
market opened at a reaction of I per cent., bat
quietly recovered, and closed I per cent. higher than
yesterday. Most descriptions of rail way stooks were
also gaged higher. To-day's advance in Consols was

Mosey was easy is the Stock ll:change, at 4to 4*
per cant. for short loans on Coevals. Up to the close
of the settlement in shares and foreign stocks there
ham been little demand for money in "the house.'
In the discount market to-day there wee a steady
demand at full rate', but an absence of pressure.

mosey and the Bth Nov., opened this morning at 921
to 4, bet quickly rallied, and were last quoted 924
