MONEY MARKET.

WEDNISDLT
The representations made in parliament last night
by the Chancellor of tke Exchequer, as regards the
improved state of the country, were perused in the
journals this morning with mach satisfaction in the
City, and the effect has been an advance of per per cent.
in the value of the public securities. The reference
made by the right hon. gentleman to the position of
the Bank of England was particularly encouraging,
and, for a week or two at least, the important revela-
tions of Sir Charles will have superseded the interest
of the returns that may appear in the Gazette. The
fact that the institution has so large an amount of
notes in the banking department had not been at all
calculated upon. It appears that it is now 5,800,000 L,
and there can be little doubt, in consequence, that we
shall hear forthwith of a further diminution of the
minimum of interest and discount to di or even 8 per
cent. per annum. Consols, which were yesterday 86

to for their:count, opened this morning at 86:,, from
whisk Mesa ti 864. At the close of the day's
at 86{ to 6 for mosey, asd
86! to 1 for seeoust. The Brehm/see Bel meeket has
also been better, which indicates a more am meta

or
money as a present reality, or as among the improve-
ments in prospect, all being based, of course, on the
influence and example of the Bank.
In the foreign market there was little actual bald-
nees, but prices are disposed to assume a somewhat
More favourable range in common with those of the
domestic securities. Mexican Bonds to 17.
Portuguese, 214 ; Five per Cent. Spazesh, 174 to 2 ;
Three per Cent. ditto, 294. Two-and-a-lialf per
Cent. Dutch, 831. Equador, 2i to New Grenada,
18, ex div. ; the Deferred Debt, 31.
There was very little beyond the speech of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to engage attention. It
was said that some fresh hitch bad occurred in the
arrangement of the affairs of the large house which
has required the assistance of the Bank. Some of the
parties who have attached their names to the guarantee
list are understood to have been not pito content with
the way: in which the conditions entered into on
the other side were complied with. It has been
stated, indeed, that certain names appended to it in
the first instance had been withdrawn, and that the
result was once more in great doubt. There cannot,
however, it is clear, be much to do in order that the
engagements of the firm may all be fully provided
for. Opinions on the subject were divided on 'Change,
bat the prevailing belief was, in the end, that the
whole had been as nearly as possible concluded.
In our provincial column will be found reports of
meetings, held yesterday, at Liverpool and Birming-
ham, upon the affairs of the North and South Wales
Bank, and the Shrewsbury and Market Drayton
Bank.
