MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY ECZNINO.

Consuls have been rather better supported to-day,
and the variations inclined more in an upward direction.
After being called for a time 954, they left off at 954 to 4,
both fur money and account, which are precisely the last
quotations of yesterday, but with a firmer market. Exche-
quer Bills, lye. to lbs. premium. Money is so easy cis the
Stock Esehange, so far as home fund_s, as to command only
Two per Cent., and to want employment at even that low
rate. _ _ .

The dealings in foreign stocks are still upon the small. at
scale, tad, where prices were affected at all, either in the one
way on he other, it was from the result of isolated transac-
tions only, from which it must be understood that, in respect
of the more speculative and less accredited securities, the
rates quoted are little more than nominal. Spanish are a
shade higher ; the Fives, 26; to ; the Threes, 371 to I ;
Deferred, 17 to I; Pas..ive, 5I to 6. Portuguese, 41 to 3.
Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., 59 to S ; the Fours, 921
to 3. Russian, 110 to 111. Brazilian, 85 to 7. Mexican
declined slightly upon the unimprovtd state of (titian in
Mexico becoming known, and were quoted 24; to 5, but at
the close of business they were a little better, although with
a larger margin of difference in prices at 24 to 51.
The private advicea from Mexico to the 30th of August
by the Medway steamer, so far us they have transpired, do
not appear to be favourable to the late conversion scheme,
so strangely advocated by the Spanish-American committee,
and to lightly adopted in consequence at the second, perhaps
a purposely packed, meeting of the bondrolders. It was
reported in Mexico that the conversion was repudiated, and
it is tolerably certain from the Me xican papers that both the
government and the public were greatly annoyed with what
was considered the very improvident, unauthorised measure
of hypothecating the proceeds of the tobacco revenue in
payment of interest on the foreign debt; such tobacco reve-
nue, by the way, having been before pledged years ago for
payment of certain monies borruwed in Mexico, the bonds
representing the value of which were unsalable in the
market there at more than 5 or 6 per cent. of their nominal
amount, in consequence of the mortgage being disregarded,
and the tobacco revenue being still taken for government
account, the remonstrances of creditors notwithatand-

Mg. The annullation of the conversion was thereto' c con-
sidered to be almost certain, if not actually declared. The
agents it was understood had fortunately made no advances on
account of it, so that the extra funds raised upon it would,
in such case, be available for r..partition among the cut-down
bondholders here.

The real% or replacement, of Senor Murphy, the Mexican
minister here, was reported in Mexico. Santa Anna was at
his country house, suffering from illness, usually following
any active exertion, from the amputationof his leg years ago.
It was, however, supposed he was only waiting whilst pre-
parations were made for a grand entry into Mexico, where he
was to be received with triumphal arches and orations.
The new ministry of Santa Anna wcs thus formed. Senor
Rejon for Foreign Affairs; Almonte for War; Gomez
Ferias for Finance; Pacheco for the Home Department.
These nominations were popular. A Senor B. Gomez Ferias,
we observe, c.mes passenger by the Medway, and is probably
a relative f the finance minister.

The steamer brings favourable intelligence from the
Bolenos mine•, the yield or accumulated produce of which
had doubled within the month preceding the departure of
the packet. The shares, in consequence, advanced to-day
from 4 s to Gi.

RAILWAY NEWS:

There was a very indifferent market yesterday in
shares and scrips. The decline was almost universal, so far
as business was done. North-westerns (London and Bir-
mingham) were down nearly 2/. per share. South-castesas
one-half as much ; and in most other lines, when tronas►
tions took place, they were done at lower rates. Leicester
and Bedfords were more firmly held, however, and so were
Ambergate.
The Liverpool market was very much depressed. London
and North-western stock was done at 1961 ; North Stafford-
shire declined to 11 pm. Orniskirk recovered a little, and
closed buyers at 21 pm. Generally the tone of the market
was worse than on Tuesday.
The Manchester share market was again very flat; the
business transacted small ; prices nominally without ch.inge,
but with a downward tendency.
The Birmingham market was flat both yesterday and
Tuesday ; the prices of all descriptions of scrip had a ten-
dency downwards. Notwithstanding the depression, how-
ever, in railway matters generally, a new scheme or two in
connexion with that town will (says our correspondent)
shortly be brought out.
At Leeds, there was a considerable amount of business
done, at a alight improvement in price in the shares of
several lines, though others rather receded. Liverpool and
Ormskirks and North British remain firm at previous
prigs. Huddersfield and Shetfields declined 10s., and East
Lancashire (New) 81., while Huddersfield and Manchester
advanced us., and West Ridings 35. per share each.
The Bristol market was somewhat more active yesterday.
The following sales were effected : Bristol and Exeter, 841
Bristol and Exeter (New), 10 ; Birmingham and Oxford
Junction, 51; Bristol and South Wales Junction, 2s. ; Great
Western (I ph.), 191; Ditto (fifths), 31 ; Ditto (New), 51
premium; London, Newbury, and Bath Direct, 17s. 641.,
