MONEY MARKET.

THURSAAT RYKNIMO.
The English stock market to-day was compara-
tively firm, and in the afternoon ar. advance of per
cent. took place, owing to the .seekly board at the
Bank of England having broken up without the an-
nouncement of any advance the rate of discount.
In the other departments ol the house a correspond-
ing improvement took :place, the markets finally
closing with firmness.
Consols opened 971 to 98, and remained steady
till about one o'clo'k, when some considerable pur-
chases carried the price to 98 to A decline to 97/
to 98 succeeded, but at the final close the quotation
stood at 981 to 1, for money and the Bth September,
with a good tone. The official business report in-
cludes:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 98,
97i, 981; ditto for account, Bth Sept., 971, 98,
97/, 98i. Three per Cents. Reduced, 982, I. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1011, Z, 1. Long An-
nuities, 1860, 51, 5 15-16 ; ditto, 30 years, 1859, 5,1.
India Stock, 259, 257. South Sea Stock, 115 f.
Bank Stock, 228 f, 228.
Exchequer Bills remain quoted 3s. dis. to par.
The market has been well supplied with India Bonds,
which command 12s. to 18e. prem. only.
In the Foreign Stock market the chief feature was
a further improvement in Granadian, upon purchases
, understood to be chiefly on Dutch account. In ono-
! ther column will be found communications from the

Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, rela
tive to this debt and that of Venezuela. It has been
whispered about during the last few days, that the
holders of Granadian Bonds are likely to be benefited
by an arrangement understood to be in progress at
Bogota, between Peru and New Granada, relative to
a debt of 2,500,000 dole., stated to be owing by the
former to the latter. Mexican and Spanish Securities
remain unaltered. Sardinian and Brazilian were bet-
ter. The Seven per Cent. Bonds of the Matanzas and
Sabanilla Railroad Company areto-day introduced into
the Foreign Stock list, and business is marked
in them at 2 per cent. prem. At 4 o'clock, Mexican
Bonds were quoted 26; to 27 ; Peruvian Deferred,
58 to 60; Granada Active, 231 to 241 ; ditto, De-
ferred, 103 to 11; Spanish Deferred Threes, 231 to
; the Certificates, 61 to 63 per cent. Sales
are thus recorded :—Brazilian Old Five per Cent.
Bonds, 1021, 3 ; ditto, Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
1802, 994, 99. Cuba Seven per Cent. Bonds (Ma-
tanzas and Sabasilla Railway), 102. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 653 ; ditto Four per Cent.
Certificates, 983. Granada One-and-a-Half per Cent.
ex Dec. 1849 coupon, 24; ditto, Deferred, 10, 3, 3.
Mexican Three per Cents., 263. Peruvian Four.
and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds, 841. Portuguese Four
per Cents., 433; ditto, ex all overdue coupons, 413.
Sardinian Five. per Cents., 971, 97. Spanish New
Deferred Three per Cents., 233; the eemmittee's
Certificates, 63 per cent.
There was a better supply 'of money to-day, and
the market was easier. We hear of first class paper
being discounted to some extent out of doors as low
es 33 per cent. In the Stock Exchange money was
extremely easy, at as low a rate as 13 per cent.
Late in the afternoon it was made known by
electric telegraph that the Harbinger had arrived at
Southampton at half-past five o'clock this afternoon.
She left Melbourne on the 22nd May, and is known
to have on board on freight 112,747 ounces of gold,
worth 450,0001. Including the further sums in
private hands, it is at present estimated that this
vessel must have on board a total of nearly 700,0001.
worth of gold. The Tamar has also arrived from
Sydney with 10,952 ounces, worth 44,0001.
There was to-day a partial revival of the demand
for gold for transmission to the continent; but we
have still to report that the market is comparatively
bare of supplies, the gold imported this week from
Australia not being yet deliverable.
Silver is in considerable demand for the East ;
and the supplies by the Parana will realise advanced
prices. Indeed it is understood that a large portion
of the silver brought by this vessel, although not
yet deliverable, has already been sold at an improve-
ment on the prices previously paid.
Holders of the bonds of the Swedish Provincial
Mortgage Loan are required to present them at the
office of Messrs. Palmer, Mackillop, Dent, and Co.,
on the Ist Sept., on which day the final instalment
of 20 per cent. is payable.
The Australasian Pacific Mail Steam Packet Com-
pany have issued notice that their steamer Kangaroo,
of 1,560 tons, launched on the 20th ult., will go to
sea in about six weeks. She will proceed in the first
instance from Southampton direct to Melbourne and
Sydney, from whence she will take up her station on
the Pacific to open the Panama line, and will be
followed at intervals of one mouth by the other ves-
sels of the company's fleet.
Land shares to-day were rather firmer in tone.
Australian Agricultural are well supported, but ina-
nimate. Peel River maintain their improvement.
Australian Bank shares were steady, and Oriental
Bank 10s. higher. London Dock stock marks 1231.
Annexed are the latest reports from continefitel

ment of 1 per cent., and are now steady at the ad-
vance. The largo arrivals of gold inspired con-
fidence ; and the improvement has been further

981 to 1, and are now quoted 981 to for money and

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
MARK-LANE.—THIS DAY.
Since Wednesday we have had considerable excitement
in the Wheat trade, in consequence of an increased demand
for French account, and large sales were made yesterday of
both Wheat and Flour to arrrive, at prices fully equal to
any that have been previously obtained. Our market to-
day was more quiet, Wheat on the spot not being much
sought after, but Monday's quotations were raised 2e.
per r.
Baqrrelled Flour in request and Is. higher.
Barley, Beans, and Peas, without any alteration.
With little or no addition to the supply of Oats previously
reported the trade was much firmer to-day, and the finest
qualities may be quoted 6d. to Is. dearer, but the business
was of a retail character.

the last three days, and a full amount of business done.
Coloury plantation Ceylon has advanced Is. About 5,000
bags native Ceylon sold, chiefly at 455. 6d. to 465.
TEA.—The market bas been inactive, but there was more
disposition to buy yesterday, and common Congou sold to
some extent at lid.; fine Congou held for high prices,
which has checked business in these descriptions.

MARKET.-THIS DAY.

We are only moderately supplied with Beasts, and the
trado for them, altho.igh rather slow, is quite ea good as on
Monday last. The quotations of that day are fully
maintained for all descriptions. The supply of Sheep
and Lambs is by no means large; however, the demand
is to limited, they cannot all be disposed of. Late rates
are barely supported. Good Calves are dearer; a few
