MONEY MARKET.

MIS DAY.

Two o'Crocx.
The Omsol market has been well supported this
morning, the operations on account of the Sinking
Fund, though small in amount, continuing to afthrd a
sensible prop to prices. Otherwise the day's opera-
tions deserve no special notice. The quotation has
been steady all day, without variation, at 914 to
both for money and the account of the 10th inst.
Other stocks are untouched.
Exchequer Bills continue very steady. The
1,000/. bills mark 3.55. and 535. prem. ; ditto 500/..
555.; ditto small, 525. India funds, large and

email. 625. prem.
In the foreign stock market the transactions arc
restricted to a few descriptions, but in these them is
rather more variation in prices. Neither Por-
tuguese nor Spanish have supported the re-
cent improvement. In the latter ease the rise
seems to have been occasioned by speculative
"buyings," based upon a corresponding upward move-
ment in the Spanish capital, a very unsafe ground of
'operation. considering the facility with which prices
arc worked up or down at Madrid, and the receipt of
intelligence of a full has caused a decline of full
per cent. to-day. Buenos Ayres Bonds are buoyant.
The list of actual business is : Brazilian Old Five per
Cents., 89 ex div. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 561.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 584; ditto Four
per Cent. Certificates, 894 cx div. Mexican
Bonds, 33b ;4 for account; ditto Small, 33i. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents., 351. Russian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents., 971, 98. Spanish Active Five per
Cents., 21, 201, 214; ditto Passive, 54„ O.
To-day's advice:4 from Paris bring news of a rally
in the exchange, the quotation on London having
improved to 251'r. for short.
In the market fur foreign exchange yesterday the
rates on most places remained without alteration, but
a slight decline took place on Paris, which was done
at 2-1.974 to 25 for short bills. l lamburg was nearly
,chilling lower, closing at 13.6; to 1. Amsterdam
was in request at the same rate as lust post, and
drafts were negotiated at 11.15 for three days, and
11.11;1 for three months. Bills on Italy were also
sought after, but no change occurred in the rates.
There was inquiry for bills on Spain. and the trans-
actions were consequently decidedly in favour of the
seller. Madrid was done as high as 50, and Ilareta-
lona at 494 to 4. Vienna and Trieste may be quoted
at 13.15 to 20, but hardly any business was done.
The unusual demand for paper on Spain is accounted
for by the high exchange it realises at Paris, where
' it is wanted for remittance against the purchase of
Spanish Bonds.
The last quotations of exchange at foreign places
on London are as follows. They show a downward
result; but arising from temporary circumstances :

We have every reason to believe that her Ma
jesty's government are at length fully determined to
complete the line of railway between Halifax and
Quebec. There will be no immediate advance of
money, but an ultimate guarantee of interest by the
imperial government. We trust the works will be
executed economically, after the American plan, and
not according to the expensive system adopted in
England and India. The outside cost ought not to
be beyond 3,0001. per mile.

halauce sheets of all the leading railways, drawn out
oat a uniform plan and compared with those of the
three preceding half years.
The Strasburg Railway meeting is fixed for the
29th of April, and is special for a working agree-
ment with the Strasburg and Basle Railway for the
section between Sarreburg and Strasburg, and for
an agreement with the Northern Company for a
junction between their Paris goods stations. No mo-
tion is put down for the loan, but the Journal des
Chemins de Fer says that it will be mentioned in the
report, and that the opportunity will be given to
move an antendment, for which purpose the English
and provincial shareholders are earnestly requested
to furnish proxies.
