MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'Cr.oar.
The English stock market has rather fallen back
to-day, notwithstanding the support afforded by a
renewal of the purchases on account of the Sink-
ing Fund. l'arties who regard the improved
rates which arc now obtainable for money
will doubtless look upon the recent rise of nearly
per cent. as affording a favourable opportunity for
selling, whilst there is in some quarters a strong
dispo,ition to be sceptical as to any further advance,
or even as to the market maintaining itself at the
high rates current. Ou the other hand the favour-
able prospects now opened up for business, and the
quicur aspect of continental affairs, added to an ex-
ptvtation that the returns of the commerce of the
kingdom will continue to be characterised by satis-
factory features, tu-e relied upon as sources of con-
iidence.

Consols opened precisely the same as they left off
yesterday afternoon, at 973 to 98, both for money :mil
account, and have since declined to 971 to I for cash.
and 973 for the 10th of June, which is their present
quotation. The Reduced Threes continue to be the
stock in which the investments on public account
arc effected. The official statement of the day's
business is:—Three per Cent. Consols, 98, 97; • ditto

The foreign emit market is generally firm, though
little disputation is evinced to operate in any parti-
cular description. Brazilian, Buenos Ayrean, and
Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are better,
and Spanish maintain late quotations. Trans-
actions are reported as follows :—Brazilian
Old Five per Cents. for account 30th of May,
00, 89 ; ditto New, 1829, and '39, tiS; Buenos
Ayres Six per Cents., 681; Chilian Six per Cents.,

The traffic receipts on the London and Brighton
Railway for the week ending the 24th of May, as
just made known, present an increase of 3,7591. over
those of the Corl'egimitlin4 week of last year, being
13,8761., against 12,1171. in 1850. This is equal to
£91.63 per mile, against only £70.75. lust year. This
great expansion of the traffic is mainly owing to
the Epsom rates, but the corresponding week of
18:.0 was not without a similar exceptional influence.
its it included the Whitsun holiday truffle. The total
receipts of the half-year to this date are 186,0321..
against 'Wall!. last year, showing an inorease of
20,7914

In reference to the caution moneys of the Bordeaux
and Cette and Lyons and Avignon Railways the
,roorsoi des Chewins do ter strongly supports the
claims of the English subscribers, though it maker
some just remarks on the very strong lampiage of
the resolutions. The Z.4171(11 observes that the
memorialists arc in error in supposing that the
caution moneys have been dithittively invested in
I the Lyons Railway, for they still figure on the list of
the floating debt, and are quite at the disposal of the
National Assembly.

come tax. It will be seen that in every case we take
