MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY

Two o'CTorx.
Business continues restricted in the English stock
market, but prices being uninfluenced by any news
of importance, either at home or from abroad, and
being morcovtr supported by the purchases of the
government broker, which to-day are renewei as
usual, the range of quotations is unaltered.
Consols have been quiet all day, at 3.estenlay's
rates, 97; to I, both for money and the 13th of
May. The official report of business is: Three per
Cent. Consols 971, : do. for Account, 97: ; Three
per Cent. Reduced, 96Z 4 ; New Three-and-a-Quar-
ter per Cents., 9M, ; Long Annuities, 1860, 7 .5-10,
Ondia Stock, 261.

The market for the unfunded securities is very
quiet, though nominally unaltered in price. Exche-
quer Bills 1,0001., mark 5-Is. prem. ; do. small, 575. ;
India Bonds,' under 1,0001., 595. prem.
The foreign stock market is very quiet, the only
feature being a continuation of the sales of Mexican
Bonds, which have further depressed the price to
311. Some degree of uneasiness is tat at the small-
ness of the remittances as yet received on account
of the dividend at the reduced rate of threo
per cent., which falls due on the Ist July next, the
amounts, in hand and coming forward, it is alleged,
being insufficient to meet the dividend. Some ex-
planation is very properly looked for from the com-
mittee. Other foreign investments arc nominally
unaltered. Business is restricted to the following,
viz. :—Mexican Bonds, 351; do. for the account of
the 30th April, 33, 1, 31„ 351. Peruvian Deferred
Bonds, 391. Portuguese Four per Cents., 33. Russian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 99',t, 4, 1. Spanish Active
Five per Cents. for account, 101; ditto Passive, s'l.

A case has lately transpired which has excited
much sensation in shipping circles, not less than
twenty sham bills of lading for cargoes of corn,
flax, Sze., attested by a consular certificate, having
been pledges' in various ports of England, and money
raised upon them. As the consular seal was looked
upon as a guarantee, some of the merchants consider
the government should be in some degree held re-
sponsible for the nets of their subordinates ; but, at
any rate, it is very evident a stringent inquiry
should be made into the conduct of the consul, not
simply by the Consul-General, but by a superior
officer of the Foreign-office.
