MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY MVANINO.
The English stock market opened this morning
with some little excitement, stock being more gener-
ally offered, owing to ttie warlike complexion of the
intelligence bearing upon the Eastern question. A
slight rally afterwards took place, but was of short
duration, the market r.maMing flat in character all
day, and finally closing a shade worse than the open-
ing range. The operations on the part of the public
appear to have been inconsiderable, the transactions
being chiefly confined to the dealers and speculators.
Money stock, however, has been more freely sup-
plied, and the late heavy " backwardations,
or charges for the temporary loan of stock,
have almost entirely passed away. It may be
remarked that anxiety is expressed at the coutinu-
ance of wet weather at the present period of the
season. At this time last year we had also a wet
" seed-time," which contributed materially to the
scarcity now threatened. The Paris Bourse shows
renewed flatness.

Console were first quoted. 91; to 1 for account,
thence recovered to 91,; and, after being sold
at 911, were last officially quoted 911 to for the
10th November, and 911 to 1 for money. At 4 o'clock

that hour, 91; to The official business report

The transactions in foreign stocks presented no
feature of interest, and prices were scarcely changed.
Equador Bonds maintain their late improvement.
Russian stocks were rather flatter.
Letters from Odessa state that on the 3rd of Oc-
tober the Russian fleet arrived at that port from Se-
vutopol, with the view, as it was be-
I Hosed, of embarking troops for Redoutkale.

There was again an activeinquiry to-day for
silver for Chios, owing to the high rates of exchange
reported by the Overland Mail as being current in
the ports of that country. It is expected the supplies
of silver by the steamer La Plata will realise better
prices than could be obtained for the imports by the
Thames.
Notice has been issued that the subscription list of
250,000 new shares in the Paris and Strasbourg Rail-
way Company will be opened in Paris on the 20th
inst., and closed on the 12th Nov. The holders of
old shares only have a right to these new shares, in
the proportion of one new for every old share in their
possession. The arrangements made for the conve-
nience of the English shareholders are not yet
notified.

Influenced by the protracted wet weather, which
threatens a late seed-time, and by warlike reports,
the corn market to-day, notwithstanding very large
foreign arrivals, showed great firmness. The depres-
sion of last Friday was fully recovered, and a large
business done off the stands at the prices of this day
week. Flour was rather dearer. In floating cargoes
we hear of no transactions. Barley met with a ready
sale. Oats, though dearer than on Friday, still ruled
under the rates of Monday last. Beans and peas
could be bought on rather easier terms. Few float-
ing cargoes are on sale, and full prices are demanded.
The second instalment of interest, at the rate of 4
per cent. per annum, falls payable on the shares of
the Norwegian Trunk Railway Company on the
24th inst.

Hamburg letters of the 14th complain of the Moe-
ful influence exercised on business by the contradic-
tory reports relative to the Eastern question. On
that afternoon the intelligence of the actual declara-
tion of war by Turkey had caused some excitement.
The only article of produce in which any movement
was apparent was sugar, in which a fair business had
been done, at full rates. Coffee was flat, cotton and
spelter rather lower, and rice barely supported. The
grain market was flat, at about former rates. Rye
was much offered at lower prices, without finding
buyers. Money was tight at 5 per cent., and bills
very flat at reduced quotations. On London the rate
was last quoted 13.01 for 3 months, and 13.31 for
short. Funds and shares were fiat.

Australian Agricultural and Peel River shares
were both better to-day, owing to favourable ad-
vices. South Australian Land were also rather
firmer. Bank shares were steady. Crystal Palace
shares were again rather worse. London Dock
stock has been dealt in at 112 to 113, St. Katharine's
Dock at 98, and Berlin Water Works (21. 10s. paid)
at a dia.

The accounts received from the United States are
generally vvy satisfactory in a commercial point of
view. As we anticipated, the exchange on England
had advanced, leading to a much larger remittance
of specie by the Africa, and the rate was firm at the
sailing of the packet at 109/ to 110, with an upward
tendency. The supply of bills was limited, the ship-
ments of grain not being sufficiently extensive to
make many bills. London houses of eminence ex-
pect considerable remittances of gold by future
packets.
The subjoined quarantine notice has been received :1

Liss" Ocr. 10.—The Board of Health has issued the

present prices. To render the results strictly accu-
