MONEY MARKET.

——- - -
WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The funds have been stead 7, but without any
variation worth notice in the quotations. The market may
be reported as more firm at the close of business, than from
indications of the early part of the day might have been ex-
pected. The Consols Scrip of the new loan did not, how-
ever, support the rate of premium of yesterday. It was
quoted at 11 to I prem., with few transactions, and was
therefore rather heavy of sale. In Consols there was little
business comparatively, and they left off, after inconsiderable
fluctuations, the same as yesterday, 90/ to I money, and 901
to for time. Reduced Threes, 91 to 1. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Ceuta., 924 to 3. The lower prices of this stock,
relatively with Consols, and Consols Scrip, appear to have at-
tracted Intention for investment, and various parcels found pur-
chases, although not separately to any dirge amount. Ex-
chequer-bills in currency were 3a. to ss. premium ; the ad-
vertised par to 3s. premium. Long Annuities, 9 9.16 to 1.
Bank Stock, 2044 to 54. Money was more may in the house
to-day; on Consols it might be had at 24 per eent., but on
Exchequer-bilk from 3 to 34 per Gent. was charged.
The transactions in foreign stocks hare been somewhat
more active, although still of no great importance. The
continued decline in Spanish bond* is beginning to all more
attention to the extraordinary complications of Spanish
finance, and the very deceptions statements which
have been running the round of the papers of
this country for some time past, and those of pleas
on the continent where Spanish securities are dealt in,
dated, if not emanating from Madrid. The announcement
now of another projected loan to be raised in that country
must ruffle* to extinguish any expectations that might
really have been indulged of an intention to do partial-or
fractional justice to the holders of Spanish non-dividend
paying bonds. Towards the holders of converted internal
debt the Spanish government shows more favour, for rea-
sons which may, perhaps, be stated on another occasion,
with fuller information. Spanish Fives are now 231 to 4
only, the Thirds, 34/ to 4. Portuguese, 334 to 44. Mexican,
22 to 4. Brazilian, 86 to 8. Venezuela, 39 to 40. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. improved to 584 to 9, the Fours
to 924 to 3.
It is stated positively in a morning paper, under the
head of Vienna, that the long talked of loan of forty millions
of florins had been contracted by the Austrian government
with capitalists not named, but of whom Mums. Roths-
child would probably be the chief, at 104 for a 5 per cent.
stock, with the option of another operation on the same terms
and far the same amount, at some undetermined period
hereafter. In the embarrassed position of French finance,
another loan would appear to be indispensable and imminent
for France, so that in the present difficult circumstances we
are likely to have three loans pressing upon the European
money markets at one and the same time.
At the meeting of the proprietary of the joint-stock hank
at Paris, known as Geniis's Cease du Commerce et de
dustrie (late Witte's), the net profit of the operations on
the year was stated at 1,920,307 franca (something leas than
76.009!.), upon which a dividend of 34 percent. was declared,
with an allowance of 4 per cent. interest upon the shares for
the capital paid up. The remainder was osrried partly to the
reserve fund, partly to the account or managing directors,
who shared among themselves 396,686 franca.
