MONEY MARKET.

TVERDAT WINNING.
This has been a quiet day in the Stock Exchange
g. nerally. Consols opened at 911 to Z, and, after
some little weakness in the middle of the day, left off
at the opening price, b .th for money and account.
The l'oree per Cents. Reduced were done at tital
and 89i, and the New Tmee-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. at 901, 901, and 901.
Rank Stick was done at 1931. Exchequer Bills
at 455. to Vie. premium, for March hills. and 435. to
465. prem. for the advertised bills ; and India Bonds
at 685., to 71s. prem.; Long A nuitirs at 8 9-16 and
8;! ; South Sea Stock at 1001, and 100,1 ; bat in India
S.oli titre were no transactions to-day.
In the fartign market there was again a very
smell amount of business done, and great heaviness
in this department of the Stock Exchange. The official
lists afford the follaning quotations of the business
done: Equador Bonds, at 31: Grenada Deferred, at
31; Mexican, at 29":", 2911, and 291, with the coupons
attached, and at 271, 271, 271, 271, and 271, ex
coupons. Russian stock was done at 101 •, the
Spanish Five per Cents. Active, at 161 and 16, and'
the Three per Centi.' at 321 • the Dutch Two-and.ia-
Half per Cents. at 49, and ihe Four per Cent. Cer-
tificates at 751 and 751.
It is stated that the Peruvian Bonds which have
been discovered to be forged are printed on the same
paper—and bear other marks of having been pre-
pared by parties se ho had intimate acquaintance with
the issue of the genuine bond., and the circumstances
under which they giver to have got into circulation
has led to the expectation that upon a proper memo-
rial being presented to the Peruvian government the
amount—which hitherto appears to be bat smill—of
ee bonds smt in for conversion which have proved
to be forged, may be recognised and converted as
genuine bonds in the hinds of bona fide holders. Aed
accordingly a oi'cular has been prepared to induce
the necessary steps to be taken for this purpose.
In the foreign exchanges to day there was but
little done, not math paper was offered, hut the rate
on Paris was a shade lower, the announcement of the
National As embly having met and held its preli-
minary siting without atty. disturbance having had
some effect on bills on Paris, particularly at short
dates. The fallowing are the reported quotations :
on Amsterdam, 12.2 to 1; (at short, 12 to 12.1) ;
on Rotterdam, 12.21; on Antwerp, 25.75 to
SO; on Hamburg, 13.12/ to 13.13; on Frankfort,
121/ to 122; on Petersburg, 351 to 1 ' • on Paris,

25.671 to 70; on Genes, 26.30 to 40 ; on Vienna and
Trieste, 12.6 to 12.121 on Leghorn 31.20 ; on Naples,

Mr. lames Capel has received a letter from the
Dutch Commissioners, dated Madrid, 23rd instant,
stating that they had lase n referred by the Minister
of Finance to the commission instituted for the setle-
meat of the debt, to hear their representations, and
Who are to report to the. ministry themon. M.
D'Harcoort, the French Chargé d'Affairs, has made
a strong rermenta• ion in favour of the claims Ode
bondholders, and the Spanish ministry have tspreend
to him their desire that these claims should no longer
remain in ith•vance, and M D'Hareaurt hes wri.ten.
to theDuteh dommissioners to say that he will endea-
vour to press the consideration of these claims so as to
prevestthe good intentions of the Spanish ministry
towards than from becoming sterile.
