MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

THE PROPOSED FRENCH LOAN.

Two o'CLoce.

We have authority for stating that the ne-
gotiations for the proposed loan of 2,000,0001.
or 4,000,0001. sterling to the French go-
vernment, by Messrs. Baring Brothers, and
other capitalists, have suddenly been broken
off, owing, it is stated, to the necessary securities
(Three per Cent. Rents.) not having come forward.
It is surmised, however, that the real cause of this
result is the publicity which has been given to the
affair, which appears to have much annoyed the
French government. The money market here will
probably now become easier.

Consols were rather dull at the opening, but
have since improved, on the failure of the proposed
French loan. British railway stocks are steady,
the principal change being a rise in Caledonian,
on the announcement of the proposed dividend at

the rate of si per cent. per annum.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Relates
opened at 71fr. 32c., being about the same as
yesterday.

India Five per Ceuta. are firm, at 106} to f.
Consols are officially marked 921, 93, and 921
for money, and 921 and 93 for the account. The
present quotations are 921 to 93 for cash, and
93 to I for the account. The official business reportis
as follows :—Bank Stock, 240, 242 ; ThreeperCents.
Reduced, 93, ; New Three per Cents., 93, 1, 921,
933 ; New Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 771;
India Five per Cent. stock, 1061, I, ; ditto
Four per Cent. Debentures, 1864, 100 ;
Four per Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper,
88 ; ditto Five per Ceuta., 1011, 1 ; ditto Five-and-
a-Half per Cents., 107, 1061; Exchequer Bills,
March, 8.5., 125., 10a., prem.; ditto June, 11s., 10e.
pron. _ _ _

In foreign stocks Mexican and Venezuela Bonds
have declined. Turkish Biz per Cents. are also
lower at 84f to 85 the 1854 loan, and 75 to for
that of 1858. Moorish scrip is quoted sto prem.
Salta are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Four-and-
a-Half per Cents., 1868, 911 ; Equador New Conso-
lidated, 181,19, 18f, ; Italian Five per Cents.,
671, f, f (exchange, Mfr.) ; Moorish Scrip,
prem. ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 341,
34, f ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1853, small,
471 ; Russian Five per Cents., for account,
981 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1880,
92} ; Spanish Three per Cents., for account,
54f, 631; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents.,
for account, 431 ; ditto Passive, 191, 1 ; the Com-
mittee's Certificates, 71 ; Turkish Six per Cents.,
1854, 85 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1858, for account,
751, 75 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per. Cents.,
102, div.

The demand for money continues active, both at
the Bank of England and in the open market.
Little or no business is done below per cent.,
and in many quarters an advance upon the Bank
minimum is demanded.

The demand experienced for the shares in some
of the new marine insurance companies, and the
increased readiness with which capital is being sub-
scribed for several other projects more recently
launched, are calculated to render new joint stook
enterprise more active.
The French official journal has been indulging in
one of those equivocating contradictions whose
only purpose can be to mislead, and its habitual
assertion of which has acquired for this print
a discreditable sobriquet sounding in French
not unlike its title of "Le Meniteur." It is
declared that the statement of the English Jour-
nabs, that the French government has negotiated 5.
loan in London, is " wholly erroneous." The
Menitenr is playing with its readers, and at the
same time lowering yet further its own character.
If the French government., wishing to " rig " the
market, commissions certain agents in Paris, and
its agents, to facilitate this questionable opera-
tion, make certain arrangements in London, those
arrangements are as much for account of
the French government as though it, the
principal in the affair, stepped direct into the Lon-
don market. There is a limit (at least on this aide
of the Channel) to the public capacity to tolerate
glaring equivocation and perversion of truth, no
matter if they are witnessed in quarters where
the moral atmosphere is held to be akin to that
surrounding the French throne itself.
There have been a number of transactions in
London during the last few days in the Turkish
Six per Cent. Loan brought out by M. Mires.
An instalment of 20 per cent. fell due yesterday
on the Moorish Loan of 426,0001. The scrip was

Thu monthly return of the Bank of France will

Tue Liverpool cotton market yesterday was firm,
and the sales have increased to 10,000 bales.
A memorandum from the Indus Steam Flotilla
