MONEY MARKET.

ThUS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.
The appeartince of the English stock market was
the reverse of promising at the commencement of
business this morning, and salts of Consols and the
other home stocks were effected at a further decline
upon the depressed rates of yesterday's market, but
as soon us the pressure of these 0/mations, which must
be regarded as perfect lyin course m the present posit ion
of affairs, had ceased, a decided tendency to a rally
manifested itself, and an advance of per cent. on
the first prices of the day has been estab-
lished. The feeling of the market is now
much stronger, and the improvement has
extended throughout every department of the Stock
Exchange. The government broker has made a
further purchase to-day on account of the Sinking
Fund, as in the three previous public transfer-days
this week.

Consols were sold rather freely yesterday after-
noon at 951, and to-day at 951, but the present quo-
tation is 96 to both for money and the I Ith Sept.
The official record of the day's business is as fol-
lows: Three per Cent. Consols, 931, z, 96; ditto for
account, 631, it 66, . Three per Cent. Reduced, 961,
; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 98:
Long Annuities, 1960,7 7-16, ; ditto 30 years, 1839,
7 3-16; ditto 30 veers, 1860, 7 1-16,
The price of gxchcquer Bills has at length become
slightly affected by the position of monetary and
commercial affairs. .`.ales have offered to-day, and
the rate of premium is Is. lower, being now quoted
455. to 48s. India Bonds, 1,000/., mark 335. prem.;
ditto under 1,000 t., 325. prem., being also a slight re-
duction.

Beyond the final settlement of the account, which
is of importance in one or two descriptions only, busi-
ness in the foreign stock market has not been of a
character calculated to call for special notice, and
prices present little change. Since the improve-
ment in the other departments of the house
however, the feeling in this market has been sympa-
thetically better, and prices arc more firmly held.
Bargains have been concluded as follows : Danish
Three per Cents., 1825, 771. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents., for account, 16th Sept., 391; ditto
Four per Cent. Certificates, 921. Mexican Bonds,
281, Peruvian Deferred, 431. Russian Five per
Cents., 1141; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
1014,102. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 201;
ditto for account, 204,
The following shows the extreme rates at which
bargains have been concluded in the more speculative
descriptions of foreign bonds during the account now
closing:

The half-yearly interest due tho sth September on
the Cuba loans of 11i34 and 1637, is advertises' for
payment in due course.
The new account in the share market opens with a
very important feature in the official list, wherein
the transactions fur money and the account are for
the first time separated, as in the official lists fur
English and foreign stocks. The earnest desire of
the authorities of the Stock Exchange to effect im-
provements in the transaction of share business has
been long shown, and the establishment of a separate
department for railways has had many useful results.
The mere changes in the form of the official list
effected this year, arc calculated to be of great
benefit. The separation of the classes of shares into
ordinary, leased, preference, and foreign, has been
exceedingly useful to the public and to those who
watch the market, as distinct influents affect each
class. Preference shares are of a character so en-
tirely different that it was particularly desirable to
remove them from the general mass. admit so
little of speculative action, and have a market so
regular us to afford very important indications of the
general tendency of investment.
The distinction between money and time transac-
tions now effected is the first step towards bringing
the share market under healthier influences. Hi-
therto, by the mixing up of transactions, it was left
pretty much to the speculators for the account to fix
prices instead of leaving prices, as in other markets,
to be regulated by the operations of investment.
The ingenuity of unprincipled men cannot be
wholly counteracted, but the public will recog-
nise in the proceedings of the Stuck Exchange a
determination to promote the legitimate conduct of
business; and the brokers and their clients will bene-
fit from being allowed to close their transactions
promptly. We hope this measure of the Stock Ex-
change will be seconded by the railway officials, for
in too many cases such delays take place in register-
ing transfers that a premium is offered for avoiding
the operation.
The subjoined table shows the extreme prices at
which business has been done in railway shares
during the account now closing.

The exchange at l'aris on London shows some
weakness, and the French funds have been much
depressed during the last week.
The total receipts upon the corresponding lines
being 269,40 W. against 223,1901. in the same week in
1850, the increase is shown to be 46,3091., or 27 per
cent. The number of miles open in 1851 was 4,341,
and in 1860, 4,1931, showing an increase of 1471
miles, or 31 per cent. The average return per mile
per week was, in 1851, 621. le. 7d., and in 1850,
531. 4s. 6d., so that the difference is again in favour
of the present year to the extent of W. 17s. ld. per
mile. The most satisfactory comparison is presented
by the London and North Western, London
and South Western, Great Western, Brighton,
South Eastern, and Great Northern. Last year's
return on the last named line, it may be noticed, em-
braces 236 miles, the present mileage being 2411, so
that the difference in the receipts is very marked,
and the gradual expansion of the traffic is rendered
the more strikingly. observable. The return this
week, however, has the advantage of several peri-

odical occurrences which have doubtless affected the.
aggregate receipts, including the Iluntingdon
races and the great horse fair at Ilorneastle,
which lasts eleven days. The Midland receipts
arc probably slightly improved by the meeting of
the British Archaeological Society at Derby, and-the
attraction of the Royal Yacht squadron regatta at
Cowes, rendered the more interesting as it was by
the presence of a foreign competitor, must have
thrown a much larger number of passengers than
usual on the London and South-Western and the
Brighton lines, both of which ran special trains on
the occasion.
