MONEY MARZET-TRIS DAY.

Two o'Cz.ocz.

The funds are remarkably firm to-day. The ten-
dency is rather upwards, owing to the assumed cer-
tainty of peace, but no further advance, has been es-
tablished, speculative attention being turned, in pre-
ference, to the share and foreign stock markets.
Controls are firm at yesterday's closing quotation
of 921 to 1 for the 10. h of April, and 921 to / for
money. The New Three-and-a.ltalf per Cents. have
been dealt in at 991; Exchequer Scrip at 21 prem.;
Exchequer Bills, March, at 2s. to se. prem.; ditto,
June, at le. dis. to ls. prem.
Turkish Six per Cents. have been in considerable
demand, end have been dealt in at 971 to 981 for
money and 981 to 99 for the 15th April. The Four
per Cents, are also buoyant, marking 1001 for money,
and 101 to 1011 for the new account. As
regards many other stocks the tendency is
improving. The sales include Granada Active
Bondi at 21/ to 221 ; ditto Deferred at 81;
Equador New Consolidated at 141 ; ditto Pre-
visional Laud Warrants] at 41; Brazilian Old Five
per Cents. at 102; Portuguese Five per Cents. at
53; ditto Four per Cents. at 49; Spanish Old Three
per Cents. at 451 to a; ditto Datererd at 241; ditto
for Account at 25 to t; Ventzsela Active at 28;
ditto Deferred at 121; and Dutch Four per Cent.
Certificates at 951 to 98.

In addition to the 63,0001. in specie brought in by
the America from New York, the Baltic arrived see-
terday with 273.661 dole., or about 54;7001. The ex-
change on Englund maintains a more favourable ap-
pearance.
The Madrid hu taken out 59,6841. in specie to
Lisbon and Cadis.

The corn market yesterday wee quiet, at lest Mon-
day's decline. The arrive sof foreign breadstuff, in
'London this wetk are large, comprising 23,340 qrs.
a wheat, 980 tire. of bit ley, 13 050 qrs. of oats, and
111,170 sacks of flour. Of the 115 floating cargoes of
grain which have arrived at port of call during the
last fortnight many have been cleared, and, taking
into account the cargoes sold previous to arrival sod
those consigned on importers' account, the number
remaining for disposal is considerably reduced.
We are informed that government have aooorded a
'barter to the Ottoman Bank. This step is adopted
after communication with the Ottoman government,

which grants to the bank the Srm►n requisite for
the establishment of public undertakings of this
nature.

Means. Baring Brothers snd Co. state that, having
received 908,000 dollars Peruvian Puur-sitd.a-Halt
per Cent. Bonds, they are prepared to exchange them
against the arrears of coupons of New Granada Bonds

The Legislitive Cnincil 'of New South Wales
have authorised the railing of a sum of money on
debentures of 1001. each, bearing interest from the
lst of January lut at Al. per cent., to be repaid at
par in 1871 and 1876. This loan is required to
carry on railways and other public works throughout
the colony, and will form a primary charge on the
general revenues. The London branch of the Baok
of New South Wales, as agent for the colonial govern-
ment, will superintend the issue of the debentures
sent to this country, and will alto pay the principal
and interest. The price at which these boeds are
offered here is 95 per cent., with dividend from the
let Jan. last.

The Emigration Commissioners will receive tenders
on the 3rd April for the biro of a vessel to convoy
emigrants to Adelaide.
According to St. Petersburg advice, of the 20th
inst., the fall in the price of tallow in the London
market had calmed a corresponding decline there: the
pries was quoted 138ro.
At a meeting of the Union Steam Collier Company
yesterday it was announced that the earnings of the
company's vessels for the balf-year ending the 29. h
February lut warrant a dividend of 41. per 201.
share, clear of income tax, after keeping in reserve a
sufficient sum to meet future contingencies. This
dividend is to be payable on the 6th of April. On
the Ist of November lut a dividend of 51. per share
wee paid to the proprietors. We make the following
extract from the report :

&writ of the vessels have boon recently discharged from
the Trantport Service, and the probable early termination
of the war with Ramie will no doubt also terminate that
scorn of employment for them. Beier, however, a elm
of vessels now coming into demand fir general purposes,
year directors do not aprrebend sub di/leaky in finding
remunerative espl ',meet for them; and they trust th%t
the balance sheet, which it will be their duty to lay before
you at the annual meiniog in October seat, will show •
satisfactory result; though, of crone, sash profits as hove
hitherto been earned cannot be impacted to be oestlesed in
future. The introduction of a bill in the present 0111/10a of
rillien1111; to mead the Limited Liability Act of last see-
Mon, has induced year directors to suspend the preesediage
fa brinairg the eompaay under that act until the passing

The subjoined weekly summate of the produce
markets is extracted from the circular of Messrs.
W. J. and H. Thompson :

The colonial markets opened on Wednesday, and although
a fair amount of business has been transacted there is not
meet aoleaatloe. The dammed f amnions' geod, and
the car entity sold has been at rates 6J. t) 1.. per cwt. above
those previously softest; the riles to day, however, did not
go off quite as briskly. Very little hu been dose is coffee
on the spot, bet a Soaring cargo of Ft. Domingo has bees
sold at &boat 48a. per owt. Three vessels from Ceylon are
now discharging their cargoes in the docks. Ries is dull of
sale. Saltpetre has bean sold at fell rates. The Sumac-
Uses in tee have been very limited, bet quotations tale
&bent the same as hut week.

The return of the Bank of England for the week

The decrease in the bullion is rather considerable.
This feature is probably chiefly attributable to the
shipments of gold to Turkey on account of the loan.
The same fact will account, in part, for the decrease
in the " other" deposits. Oa the other band, the
heavy dateline in the "other" securities will be fa-
vourably viewed, as it indicates a sensible dintinu.
Hoe is the demand for money. A remarkable feature
is involved in the addition of half a million to the
Bank's stook of government securities. The increase
in the Trersary balances is small. Asa result of
these various changes there is the satisfactory addi-
tion of more than half a million to the reserve of un-
employed notes. The aggregate active circulation is
still very restricted.

PEAT Ivixixo.

It is oonfideatly stated, io quarters unally well
informed, that the Treaty of Peace will be defluitirely
signed at Paris to-morrow (Saturday). Reports to

this effect have caused a sensible rise at Paris to-day.
but the effect upon the English fonds has bees
trifling, the advance scarcely amounting to } per
cent. The upward tendency is restrained by the
oontinaed demand for money. On the other hand,
confidence is inspired by the belief that the conchs-
sion of pram, whilst arresting the creation of new
government stock, will give a stimulus to the desire
for investment.

The demand for money was to-day very active in
all quarters, in anticipation of to-morrow's instalment
on the new loan. The arrangements in connexion
with the settlement of the fortnightly coconut in
shares and foreign stocks have also increased the de-
mand in the Stock Exchange.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 921 for the
10:h of April, opened this morning at 921 to 1, re-
ceded to 221 on sales, and were last quoted 921
to 1. For money the final quotation was 921.
The official business report is as follows :—•
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 921, 1,1, I
ditto, for account. 10th April, 621, a, 1. New Two-
land-a-Half per Cent., 76; Consol Scrip, 21 prem. 3
Exchequer Scrip, 21 prem. ; Three-and-a-Half pent
Cent. Exchequer Sonde, felting payable in 1868, 98,1.
The Consol Scrip of the new loan closed at 21 to
2: prem., and the Exchequer Scrip at 2: to 21 prem.:
The March Exchequer Bills were quoted 2s. to
ss. prem.; the June Bill", le. die. to le. prem.; India
Bonds, Ile. to 6s. die.; and Exchequer Bonds, 98,;
to 1.
In the foreign stock market the chief business was
in connexion with the settlement. Prices were go•
nerally steady. Turkel securities closed much the
same as yesterday, the Sir per Cents. at 97; to ; for
the 31st inst., and the Guaranteed Four per Cents.
at 1001 to a. In the former case the "continuation"
to the new account of the 15,h of April ruled at
about 3 per cent., but this includes about 4s. income
tax. On the Four per Cents. the current rate was
516 to 7.16 per cent. Outstanding operations
is other stocks in this department were generally
" continued" at 8 to 9 per cent. per annum.
In the foreign exchanges this afternoon the only
feature was an increased demand for paper on Italian
places, inducing the establishment of lower quotations.
In other cane steadiness prevailed. The current
rates are quoted below, Tic. :

igh rates of interest prevailed in the railway
share market at the settlement to-day, the prepon-
derance of the outstanding speculation being decidedly
directed to higher prices. Subjoioed is our usual
statement of the terms current at the opening:
Opening

On French shares the rates were generally 1-16
to 3.16 per share, but were rather heavier as regards
Northern of France and Paris and Lyons. There is
considerable speculation for a rise in Great Luxem-
bourg shares, and the rate of " continuation " was
consequently heavy, ruling at 1-32 per share.
Ottoman Bank shares were quoted this afternoon
to 1 prem.; Bank of Egypt, to 1 prem.; National
Discount Company, f to 1 dia.; and Western Bank
of Loodon, 31 to 21 die. London and County and
Oriental Bank shares were flatter. South Australian
Land shares have again improved. Those of the
London General Omnibus Company were rather
&our. London Dock stook was dealt in at 991 to
100; St. Katharine Dock at 831; Genetal Steam
Navigation at 261; and General Screw Steam at 16
to 161.

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Mexican at 4.

The gold mining shares exhibit no movement.

The metal market generally has been very dull
during the week, notwithstanding the approach to
the conclusion of the conference% which no doubt
will give us peace. Copper, however, maintains its
price, and considerable orders have been given out
this week. Manufactured iron continues to droop its
price, and most descriptions of bars, ittc., can be pur-
chased at a reduction of 2s. 6d. per ton. An 613d41.4
vane will doubtless be made at the 9uarterly meetings
to avoid • declaration of a reduction in price, but it
is notorious that underselling is taking place to a
large extent. Speculation still keeps the price of
Scotch pigs up, notwithstanding the great decrease
in shipments as compared to last year and the in-
orwtaed
Obtpaseats.
