MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'Ctoez.
Although yesterday the serious aspect of French
affairs, communicated by the Daily News, produced
no great effect, the influence has been considerable
to-day, and the stock markets have suffered in con-
sequence. The closing prices from the Paris Bourse,
which had been kept back yesterday afternoon,
have likewise been received, and show a fall
of two per cent. Other symptoms of the
alarm felt in Paris shown by the considerable rise in
the price of gold and gold coin, and of short hills on
London, likewise receive attention. The intelligence
of the bloodshed in tho streets is looked upon with
less uneasiness than the distrust shown by the lead-
' ing statesmen and generals of France, who arc evi-
dently wavering, and refuse to accept the responsi-
bility of complicity in the violent proceedings of
Louis Napoleon.
Throughout the City a very deep feeling of alarm
has been engendered, and the various markets of
the Stock Exchange have all been inundated with
sellers, both home and foreign funds, and railway
shares, having undergone a further serious deprecia-
tion.

At the comment:mart of business Bais• morning,
festerday's closing price, of 973, to 3, for Con
could not be maintained. The price opened with
an unsteady appearance, at 973 to 3, and,
with sales steadily offering, declined to 963
to 97. Within the last half-hour a further
fall has taken taken place, and Consols arc now only
963 sellers for money and the settling of Thursday
next. Extensive sales have also been made of the
other home stocks at a corresponding reduc-
tion. The following is to-day's official business
report : —Three per Cent. Console, 973, 97,
963, 97; ditto, for account, 973, 3,3, 3,1, t. 1;
Three per Cent. Reduced, 961, 3,3, 3, 96; New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 97 3,3, 3,3, 3,
3. Long Annuities, 1460, 6 15-16; ditto 30
years, 1860, 71. Bank Stock, 213, 210..
.

Exchequer Bills remain at the depressed rate of
yesterday, with no great disposition to operate at
present. The price rules at 48s. to 51s. prem., and
for India Bonds at 58s. to 61s. prem.
The foreign stock market of course presents a ge-
neral fall, and in this department there is a decided
disposition to avoid any extensive dealings,the future of
European political affairs being so enveloped in doubt
It is consequently extremely difficult to give accu-
rate quotations, but the day's prices may be best
gathered from the following list of the entire sales
as yet reported, viz.: —Brazilian Old Five per
Cents., 92. Dutch Two-and-a-lfalf per Cents., 571;
ditto Four per Cent. Certs., 851, 87. Equador
Bonds, 3. Mexican Bonds, for account, 16th Dec.,
234, /, 23, 1. Peruvian Deferred, 44. Portuguese
Five per Cents. (Brazil guarantee), 90. Sardinian
Five per Cents., 771, 78 ex div. Spanish Active Five
per Cents., for account, 191, ; ditto I'assive, 4g;
ditto 'Three per Cents., 38; ditto for account, 38.
The Board of Trade returns for the month ending
the sth Nov. arc issued this morning. As was ex-
pected, the month's total export figures show a falling
off of 130,726/., as compared with last year, which
is wholly caused by the decrease in cotton yarn, and
therefore by no means militates against the pros-
perous condition of the manufacturing interests.
