MONEY MARKET.

TOISDAT EVI3IIIIO.
The English Stook market to-day experienced an
unfavourable reaction of per cent., there being no
confirmation of the pacific reports circulated yester-
day afternoon. Discredited as theme rumours were
la limit circles, they yet sufficed to bring in as buyers
a number of parties who had previously operated
for the fall. The Paris Bourse of to-day seems to
have suffered from a similar feeling of disappoint-
meat, being telegraphed as closing at a decline of
upwards of # per cent., on the final rates of
yesterday. From all the other bourses of the
Continent the telegraph to-day brought whims of
heavy and declining markets, especially for Au*
Men and Russian Securities. The Vienna bourse
may be particularised as showing especial
Marines& The positive announcement of the entry
of the allied Beets into the Black Sea, coupled with
die firs language of the Paris Monitesor, seems to
Ws produced a profound sensation in monied circles

Wirers mainly speculative, sad the tone at the
doss was fiat. The variation of the day, however,
was aonsparstively unimportant, amounting to only
about 1 per cent. Money was easy in this depart-

meat of the Stock Exchange at 3 per cent.
Consols were first quoted at 921 to 1 ex die. for
the 18th inst., and, after advancing to 921, the quo-
cation at the official close was 921 to 4. At blur
o'clock the price had relapsed to 921 to 1, in sympa-
thy with the Paris Bourse. The official basins=
report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for
mosey, 921, 4, , 4,4, 4 ex div.; ditto foe the

Exchequer Bills were rather firmer, being dealt
in at 6s. to 10s. prem. In India Bonds there were
transactions at par to 4s. prem.
In the foreign stock market prices showed little
sign of recovering the decline of yesterday. Russian
stocks again showed much heaviness, and fell 11. per
cent., making a total fall of 3 to 4 per cent. in, two
days. Sardinian declined 2 per cent. Mexican was
rather better, there being a disposition to place more
confidence in the vigorous government of Santa Anna.

23/, Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 64 to
86. Sardinian 87 to 89. Spanish Deferred, 204

The amount of gold brought in by the Ambrosine
from Melbourne, is, it appears, 49,291 ounces, worth
nearly 200,0001. The Countess of Leicester, from
Sydney, has no gold on freight.
The gold brought in by the Frances Henty has
reached London, but is not yet deliverable. That by
the Walter Hood became deliverable to-day. Of
these imports between 30,000 and 40,000 maces, say
about 169,0004 are known to have bees taken for
exportation. Of the remainder, however, the larger
cioon will probably be sent into the Bank of
and.
silver, brought in by the Magdalena last
Mak has not yet been sold, and prices are merely
noes sal. As yet no demand for India or Chiaa hoe
Shown itself.
Of the 362,759 dole, in specie brought in by the
Asia, from New York, 282,000 dole., it appears, wee
on French account, and was transhipped in the
Margaret steamer for Havre. These shipments con-
sist alms* exclusively of bar gold. The New York
advice, report a good demand for bills on London
but state that, the supply of bills increasing, the
rates had a downward tendency.
The quotations of foreign exchange to-day showed
no material alteration. Bills on Amsterdam were
rather more offered at the close, at 11.151 to 161,
which is • shade higher. The rate on Hamburg
remains at 13.5, money and bills. Paper on
Perim was a little more inquired for, at 25 to 25.05,
toe short, and 25.30, money, for three months' paper.
The exchange on Vienna and Trieste has risen,
following the higher quotation received from that
side, which indicates the existence of a feeling of
great alarm : transactions took place in this paper as
high as 12.10, but the dealings in it were limited.
The rate on St. Petersburg was a shade lower, at 371
to 4d. On the whole, the exchanges remain steady,
but show no marked tendency towards usnming a
position more favourable to this country.
In Mincing-lane to-day the sales of sugar and
se&e went off with spirit, at full prices.
