MONEY MARKET.

TUESDAY EV3/11110.

The commercial interests continue to be much dis-
turbed by the fact of the non-acceptance of bills
from the United States drawn upon Messrs. Overend,
Gurney, and Co., the great discount house and quasi
bunkers. The non-acknowledgment of the first batch
of these bills, about 12,0001. only, was remarked
upon under this head some time ago, with the ad-
vertenceof the firm drawn upon that they might be
held oier to the arrival of the next steamer (the
Hibernia). The Hibernia arriviifl, yet the bills
were not accepted in gross, bat with the exception
of such as were remitted for dividends on State and
United States stocks held in this country. The
amount of bills of this class was, however, not con-
siderable, as understood. There remained still the
question to be decided of the acceptance of the mass
of commercial bills presented. The definite answer
was postponed, on the arrival of the Hibernia, to yes-
terday, as It was again postponed to this day ; and it
appears is again postponed till to-morrow, pave as to the
description of bills already indicated. The affair to be
resolved between the drawers and the parties drawn
upon is simply whether the latter authorised
the credits, or whether the bills drawn were risked
upon the strength of consignments to third parties,
who had given directions for drawing accordingly,
but are now unprepared with the funds to place
against the maturing of the credits so advised. The
result of the question pending about the bills still in
suspense is that they must wait till renewed.
Negotiations am of course going on, and friends
are called upon for interference or guarantee, I
although it may chance also that the discussions in
the case refer more essentially to the extent of the
legal responsibility of the drawers. The determina-
tion of this overhanging question will be of grave
import for American interests; for it is understood
that very large additional amounts have been drawn
upon the great firm in question, the bills for which
have been received by the Hibernia.
The stock market has been rather in decline to-day.
Consols left off 871 for money, and 88 toe for time,
which were a shade above the lowest point. Reduced
Threes were 87/ to L. fhree-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,
891 to 1. Long Annuities, 9 1-16 to 1. Exchequer
Bills, 3s. to 6s. premium. India Bonds, 2s. discount
to par. Bank Stock, 195 i to 74. The business to-
day was altogether unimportant.
In Spanish Bonds transactions were rather more
active towards the close of the day. The prices, how-
ever, were little affected. The Fives were 191 to 201;
the Threes, 2n to 301. Portuguese, 24 to 8, with
rather an inclination downwards. Dutch stocks were
is decline, and so came from Amsterdam on the 28th
inst. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 551 to
61; the Fours, 881 to 91. Mexican, 181 to 191.
Cliilian, 91 to 3. la other foreign stocks prices were
nominally the same as before.
On the chief foreign drawing places the rates were
a fraction lower to-y, and therefore in favour of the
buyers of bills. On Amsterdam the rates were 12.41
to 5; on Rotterdam, 12.5 to 1; on Antwerp, 25.80 to
821; on Hamburg, 13.13 to i; on Frankfert, 122
to 4; on Paris, 25.65 to 721 ; on Vienna, 10.5 to 6 ;
on Leghorn, 30.70 to 75 ; on Naples, 401 to a ; on
Madrid, 171 tot, all at 3 months; on Lisbon at 30
days, 531.
