MONEY MARKET.

Titrasosv Bynum°.
The English stock market this morning showed
increased heaviness, and prices were at ono time a
quarter per cent. lower than the reduced rates of
yesterday; but the decline was more than recovered
in the afternoon, Consols finally closing at an ad-
vance of on the last rates of yesterday. The other
departments of the market participated in the de-
cline and subsequent sudden recovery. The morn-
ing's flatness was caused by the continued unsatisfac-
tory position of the Eastern question, assisted, per-
haps, by the gloomy weather; whilst the rally
is in a great measure due to the receipt
of intelligence of a considerable improvement
on the Paris Bou.se of to-day, combined with
the important misideration, an evinced in the
roess which the settling has made in the various
departments of the house, that the public have not
been sellers of stock. This is a state of things which
naturally renders the markets very susceptible to any
favourable influence.

Consols were first quoted 974 to 1 ex. div. for
Tuesday next, but were soon offered at 971, and are
marked as low as 971. From this point, however, a
sudden rally took place, the 3 o'clock price being
971 to 1, and the 4 o'clock 971 to 98, at which rate
the market finally showed firmness. The con-
tango on Consols remains nominally 1-16 to
(making the price for the 11th August
98 to 1); but there are few given of the higher rate,
and, so far, stock does not appear plentiful for the
forthcoming settlement. Many of the buyers this
afternoon were understood to be operating against
"puts." The official business report includes:—Three
per Cent. Consols, for money, 97f, 1,1, 1; ditto for
the opening, 19th July, 974, 1,1, 4,4; Three per
Cent. Reduced, 98: 4 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 1001, 4,3, 101, 1001; Long Annuities,
1860, 51, 5 15-16, 5 13-16, 51; ditto 30 years,
1859, 5/ ; ditto 30 years 1860, 6 9-16 ; India
Stock, 259; South Sea Stock, 1151; Bank Stock,
228, 1.
Money to-day was in increased demand out of
doors, and the Lombard-street houses were ready
takers of money on call. The demand for commercial
purposes was certainly more decided to-day than for
the last week or two, and it is further stated that
some large sums have been called in by the Bank of
England. In the Stock Exchange, on the other
hand, money war extremely easy, owing to the fact
that the house, as a body, are " bears " of stock,
generally speaking.
Exchequer Bills remain flat, being generally dealt
kat is the. to 21. prem. India Bonds mark 21s. to
SOL prem..
Foreign stocks varied little in price, but were gene-
rally stronger at the close. Mexican is slightly
better. Russian was offered in the morning, but
closed firmer. The Swedish loan was leas buoyant.
Generally, the dealings in this department are limited.
At 4 o'clock, Mexican Bonds were quoted 26 to
$; Peruvian Deferred, 68 to 60; ditto Four-and-
a-Half per Cent. Scrip, 2 to 1 dis. ; Granada Active,
211 to 221; ditto Deferred, 9 to 94; Spanish De-
ferred Threes, 221 to 4 ; the Certificates, 64 to 6
ppssee oent. The sales of the day are thus recorded :
' Old Five per Cent. Bonds, 991; ditto
Small, 1001; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1852,
984, Dutch Four per Cent. Certifs., 961.
Equador Bonds, 51. Mexican Three per Cents., 261.
Portuguese Four per Cents., 411, 1. Russian Four-
end-a-Balf per Cents., 991, 1004, 100 ex div. Bar-
ad= Five per Cents., 931,1. Spanish Old Three
per Cents., 461 ex div.; ditto New Deferred Three
per Cents., 221, b ex div.; the Committee's Certifs.,
64 per cent. Swedish Four per Cent. Provincial
Mortgage Loan, 4, a prem. Venezuela Three-and-
a-Haff per Cents., 391.
The remittances of gold to the continent continue
without interruption.
We have still no return of any acceptances of new
stocks at the Bank.
Miscellaneous shares declined in the morning, but
rallied towards the close. Australian Agricultural
finally, left off 67 to 69 ; Peel River, 14 to 14 prem. ;
British American, 66 to 68 ; Van Diemen's Land,
16 to 17; and South Australian Land, 40 to 42. In
Crystal Palace shares there was an active business,
but the price, after rising to 3 3.16 to 3 5.16 prem.,
returned to yesterday's rate of 2: to 3 prem. The
public continue to absorb these shares against spe-
culative sales by the dealers, and hence the rise. The
new shares closed 11 to 2 prem. Australian Bank
shares closed at about yesterday's rates.
The market for American stocks this week has
shown an improved feeling, with considerable ac-
tivity in business. United States securities generally
have been in good demand, prices showing an upward
tendency. Federal stocks have been especially in-
quired for, and are very scarce in this market. Pre-
sent quotations are thus reported by Messrs. D. Bell,
Son, and Co., for transmission by the New York

The colonial wool sales at the Hall of Commerce
commenced this evening. There was an average
attendance of buyers, both English and foreign.
The finer descriptions of wools, viz., from le. 10d. to
2.. 2d. per lb., fully maintained the prices of last
sales, but on heavy, bad conditioned, and burry
wools, there was a reduction of from one halfpenny
to one penny per lb. The bidding. were not very
spirited, and many parties who had anticipated
buying wools cheaper were much disappointed.
There was a good deal taken for foreign account,
and it is thought that merchants will be well satis-
fied with the prices realised.
Annexed are the latest reports from continental
bourses, as received by Mr. Renter's telegraphic
