MONEY MARKET.

1 TUMIDLY EVINI3III.
The statement under tLis head some days since that
the Bank of England was making advances on rail-
-1 way debentures at 6 per cent would appear to have
made a strong impression in the money market and
the stock exchange, where it was taken to evince the
confidence of that great establishment in the prosper-
ing condition of commerce ad industry, and in the
more progressive development of financial and fiscal
resources generally in a national point of view.
Stock Exchange speculators have not been insensible
to these influences superadded upon Bank of England
action, es advancing prices in the funds have testified.
Consols made a further movement upward to-day, and
were actually done at 891, although at the close of
l business, and in the natal course of jobbing reactive',
they left off at 89 to 1, ex dividend, for the opening,
with apparently a sound market. Reduced Threes,
891 to 4. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 891 to 4.
Long Annuities, 8 11-18 to 4. Bank Stock, 1901 to
11. Exchequer Bills, 41s. to 441. prem. India Bonds,
40s. to 43e. prem.
The foreign market has been strong, more especially
in Mexican and one or two other fancy stocks, and in
Dutch stook. Mexican left off 251 to 4. Peruvian,
491 to 601. The bondholders complain with reason
of no formal notice from the Spanish-American com-
mittee, either sheet the terms of the arrangement pro-
posed by the Peruvian envoy, or of the progress of the
negotiations for a final adjustment of a oompro-
Mae, for to that, of course, it must come.
have been current meanwhile, as might natu-
Vyllihe expected, of parties, not unconnected with
the committee, jobbing for their own advantage upon
the information exclastvely possessed. The respected
chairman of that committee will no doubt see the
propriety of a more candid and drcidtd coarse.
There are some particulars of names, dates, and cir-
cumstances of the Peruvian speculation in our posses-
sion which it might not be agreeable to the parties
ooneerned to meet with in this paper. New Granada
were 13 to 14; Venezuela, 19 to 20; Brazilian, 74
to 8; Chilian, 88 to 8; %curs Ayres, 23 to 6;
Ecuador Bonds, 2 1 to 31 ; Spanish Fives, 141 to 4 ;
the Threes, 281 to 4 ; Passive, 34 to 1. Portuguese,
261 to 8. Dutch 'Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 48 to
9ex dividend ; the Fours, 78 to 7. Russian, 102 to
3. Belgian, 74 to 6. Danish, 88 to 9.
In foreign exchange there was little variation
from last post day except that Paris was rather
higher. The negotiations on Paris were 2.1.56 to 60,
at three months-at short, 26.26 to 30; en Amster-
dam, 12.21; on Rotterdam, 12.21 ; on Antwerp, 25.65
to 70; on Hamburg, 13.111 to 1; on Frankfort. 1211;

Leghorn, 32 ; on Naples, 394 to 1; on Madrid, 471;
on Lisbon, 62-all at three months, when not other-
wise expressed.
A letter from Hamburg of the 30th ult. states that
there are " sellers of malting barley, for spring de-
livery, at 22.. to 23e. 6d. ' • Mecklenburg and Pome-
raatan 18e. ld. to 18e. 6d. • Danish, 178- hd- to
