MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY Emma°.
Although to-morrow brings on the settlement of
the account, which is understood to be a more heavy affair
than usual, and in preparation for it the dealers and the
brokers are usually engaged in making up their books on
the day previous, to the nsgleet more or leas of business
purely speculative, the contrary has been the case to-day,
Operations were actively carried on, and upon a somewhat
extensive scale. The first prices of Consols were 901 to 1,
with apparently a strong market, and so they remained for
some tune. But towards noon the market became
weaker, and gave way upon the prewar* of sales by certain
brokers known to be ue'ing for parties out of doors. It was
suspected too that the Bank hmker was a seller of Reduced
Threes, although no certain information transpired of the
nature and extent of his transactions. Consols however de-
clined to 901 to 1, and were done at 90i. They rallied sub-
sequently te 901 to 1, but at the close of business settled down
at 904 to 1. A more than usually large amount of options
had to be declared upon to-day, but when option time
arrived (Tarter before three o'clock) it is understood that
an inconsiderable quantity only was declared, as the state of
prices did not answer in most eases either to "put" or
" call " upon; more, howvver, was said to be put than
called. Reduced Threes were 91 to 1. Three-and•a-
Quarter per Cents., 93 to 1. Long Annuities. 9 9-16 to 1,
Exchequer Bills, 9e. to 13., premium. India Bonds, in, to
10s. premium. Bank Stock, 2031 to 41. India Stock,
NO to 1. . . .

We have had fewer quotations dal, and leva business
doing than hitherto, in foreign stocks. Brazilian old Stock
was quoted rather better at 85 to 7. Mexican, 211 to 21.
Span.ah Fives' 241 to 5 ; the Threes, 351 to I. l'ortuguese,
31 to 5. Dutch Two-and-A.114f per Cents., 553 toe ; the
Fours, 921 to 1.
Rumours were afloat to-day about parties likoly to offer
for the loan in whole or in part. Amongst other*, the
Scotch banks, it was said, would propose through Messrs.
Coutta and Co., and some wealthy private banker* in the
City, in addition to well-known loan contracting capitalists.
The reports were too vogue however to be much de-
pended on.
