MONEY MARKET.

TVESIM.Y HYMNING.
The Stock Exchange ha been remarkably devoid
of business throughout the day, and the transactions
in the various departments of the house presented
scarcely any feature of interest. Generally a slight
feeling of flatness prevailed, which was aggravated
in the afternoon by a large sale of Consols, and by
the receipt of lower prices from the Paris bourse of
this day. Here, however, the variation in prices is
slight.
Consols opened at yesterday's reduced rate of
98 to 1, ex div. for next Tuesday, and so remained
till the afternoon had far advanced, when, on the
large sale above referred to, a decline to 97a to 98
took place. The four o'clock quotations, however,
was a shade firmer again, a: 93 exactly. The
official business report includes:-Three per Cent.

2281.
The Exchequer Bill market was flat, with busi-
ness marked at par, 25., 35., and 49. prem. The
closing price was par to 3s. prem. India Bonds
mark 235. to 28s. prem.
In the foreign stock market the). was no change
calling for special notice. The Swedish loan has
been purchased as high as 11 prem. There were
some transactions in Dutch 1 wo-and-a-Half per
Cents, between 631 and 641, and in Russian Fives
at 1161 to 1171. Other stocks were stationary.
At 4 o'clock, Mexican Bonds were quoted 261 to

Money to-day was very abundant in Lombard-
street, and, though there was a fair demand fur ac-
commodation, the market must be pronounced easy.
The voluntary conversion now open at the Bank of
England remains suspended.
'l'o-morrow (Wednesday) will by "making-up"
day in the share market.
Shareholders of the Western Railway of Francs,
Paris and Rouen, Rouen and Havre, and Paris, Caeo,
and Cherbourg Companies are invited to apply for
their proportion of new bonds of I,ooofr. each, the
creation of which, to the number of 17,500, was de-
cided on at the last general meeting. These bonds
are reimbursable in 50 years, by lot, at 1,250 fr., and
bear an annual interest of 50fr., having a preferen-
tial right to the nett proceeds of the line and to the
government guarantee. The bonds will be issued at
1,050 fr. each.
The directors of the Dijon and Besancon Railway
have made a sixth call of 100 fr. (41.) per share, pay-
able by the 23th July.
The petition, under the Joint Stock Companies'
Winding-up Act, for the dissolution of the " Adelaide
City and Port Railway Company," is to be heard on
the 29th inst.
The alterations in the market for foreign ex-
changes to-day were but trifling. Hamburg was
lower, being done at 13.61, at which rate money was
generally obtainable; this decline appears to be
chiefly owing to a corresponding movement reported
from that market. Frankfort was also rather lower,
at 1194 to 1. Other exchanges were the same asl
last post.
Land shares were dull to-day, with a comparative
suspension of business. Van Diemen's Land were
last quoted 16 to 17; and British American Land,
66 to 68. Australian Bank shares were stationary
in price. Crystal Palace shares closed 21 to 3 prem.,
nod the new issue, 11 to 11 prem. This apparent
difference of price is owing to the original shares, at
present carrying the new issue. Deducting the
new stock, the price of the old shares would be
about 2 prcm.

tations are subjoined: Albion, 94; Alliance Marine,
