MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'C LOCI.
There is no increase of activity in the English
funds,;and as this is not a transfer any, on which days
alone the government broker is in the habit of publicly
buying, the market is consequently deprived of the
prop thereby afforded. Prices can scarcely be said to
I have undergone any further decline, but there is a
general feeling of flatness pervading the market, and
no signs of a rally arc at present perceptible.
Consols have been quiet all day at the lower values
of Saturday, viz., NI to z both for money and the
account of Wednesday, the settlement of which is
now engaging attention. For the March account the
quotations arc 96; to

is in Spanish, which advanced about 1 per cent., in
consequence of the proposal for the settlement of
the Active and Passive Debt presented to the Cortes
by the new Finance Minister,the terms of which will
lie found in another column. A reaction,however, has
since occurred, and the price of the Active Bonds has
receded from 191 to 191, at which figure business
was last marked. The other foreign invest-
meats are unchanged in value, and have met
with little notice. The sales of the morning com-
prise: Brazilian Old Five per Cent. Bonds. at 92i, 92 ;

The Spanish ministry have laid before the Corks
a bill for reorganising the bank of San Fernando.
The capital is to be 1,200,04)0/., in 60,000 shares of
201. each. The duration of the charter is to be for
23 years. The bank is to have the power of issuing
paper money to the full amount of its capital.
The Spanish authorities in the West Indies have
taken measures to run a steamer monthly between
La Guayra, San Tomas, and Porto Rico, at which
latter place a line from the Havannah is in corres-
pondence.
The Bolivian government, in consequence of the
I large stock of eascarilla bark held, and the fall in
price, has prohibited the cutting of eascarilla for
three years from the Ist January, 1851, a measure
of very questionable tendency.
Herapath has a budget of statements relative to
railway dividends. The Great Western Company are
to pay 41 per. cent. per annum, and carry 20,000!. over.
An attempt is to be made at the London and North
Western meeting to get the 51 per cent. dividend,
clear of income-tax. The Lancashire and Yorkshire
are to divide not more than 2 per cent., with a large
balance over. The York and Not th Midland will
divide as far as they can, which is something more
than 105. per share. The Midland Company divide
255. per share; the Berwick, 2 per cent. per annum;
the South Eastern, 98. per share; the Eastern Coun-
ties, perhaps a shilling per share.
It appears from an analysis of the railway traffic
returns for the past week (which were published in
the Express of Saturday last) given by Herapatles
Joni nal, that 227,935/. was received on 6,255 miles,
being at the rate of 36/. 10s. per mile per week. For
the corresponding week of 1850, 199,653!. was re-
ceived on 6,510 miles, or at the rate of 36/. ss. per
mile per week. There is thus an increase in the
mileage of 743 miles, or 13.7 per cent., an increase
in the amount received of 28,3021., or 14.17 per cent.,
and an increase in the amount received per mile per
week of Ss. For the five weeks expired of the pre-
sent year, the gross traffic amounts to 1,129,905/.,
against 964,602/. for the corresponding period of
1830, showing an increase of 16.5,3631.
