MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Tiro o'Clotk.—We have had quite a revolution in
stock values this morning. The report, already referred to
in the Express some days since, as then current in certain
q :afters, but which could not be traced to any authentic
source at the that, to the effect that the Russian government
were emit to repeat the name sort of money transaction
with the Bank of England as had previously passed with
the Bank of France, was renewed this morning, after the
arrival of the Ilamburg mail, at an early hour. It is stated
as a fact. admit• Mg of no doubt. that the Emperor of Russia
had by Ukase, of the 12th instant, announced his intention
of investing in the funds of foreign countries a sum of no
less than 30 millions of silver roubles; or say, calculating
the rouble at the par rate of 37d., about 4,623,0004 This
extraordinary intelligence took the City quite by surprise,
although it is clear that all about it must have been known
here for some days, and partially acted upon, u the quiet
but gradual adv .noe in the funds from purchases would seem
to show. Assuming the news to be true, the secret has been
well kept, for it is probable that the negotiations for that
part of the operation which related to this country pro-
bably commence 1 about the same time that the Bank
of England N:111 appointed financial agent to the
Rus-inn government. It is supposed that of the gold
thus to be appli, d, far the largest proportion, three-fourths
of the whole, wail be invented herein government securities,
to be purchased from the bank.
Consols were already moving upwards before this
remarkable intdligence became public. They opened
at 861 to 1 money, and 87 to 1 for time; they subse-
quently rose to. 871 to 4 for money, and 871 to
1 for time. The advance therefore in Consols within
the three days ending to-day is equal to 11 per cent. A
slight reaction h. I made them now 871 to 4 money, and 871
to 1 far time. Reduced Threes, 861 to 1. Three-and-a-
Qoarter per Cen-s., 871. Exchequer Bills, 4s, dis. to par.
Consols Scrip, 2, to 2 discount. Bank Stock, 189 to 190.
All the values, f. Jaded and unfunded, are, therefore, better.
In the foreign market, Dutch stocks improved on this turn
of affairs ; the Two-and•a-Half per Cents. to 684 to 9 ; the '
Fours to 89 to 4. Spanish Fives were a little better, at 231
to 41 ; the Fours, at 341 to 64. Mexican are worse, a; 196
to 20. Portugucae, 331 to 41. This wan settling-day in
foreign stocks.
