MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two oTtorK.

The English stock market has been very dull to-
day. Prices opened at about the final range of yes-
terday, Consols being called 94 to for money, and
96 for the account, but the intelligence of the want of
confidence shown on the Paris Bourse yesterday, and
a further fall in the French Hewes, has exercised

.-...—.
its influence on prices, which have declined 1- to 1„
Consols being now quoted only 961 to I, both fur
cash and the 13th of Mar.
The business transaete.d this morning includes an-
other purchase of the Reduced Three per Cents. on
public account, but is not large. The official state-
ment is as follows: Three per Cent. Consuls, 96 ;
ditto for account, NI, 4 ; Three per Cent. Reduced,
96, 1; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 97!., '4•
7 ; Long Annuities, IMO, 7 3-16, ; ditto 30 years,
181311, 7:,2; South Sea New Annuities, 961. Bank
Stock is lower, marking 211 and 2101.
The market for the floating debt remains heavy,
at the further decline noticed late yesterday after-
noon, sales being pressed, both of Exchequer Bills
and India Bonds. Exchequer Bills, 1,000/. and aoot ,
mark 30s. and 535. prem.; ditto Small, 50s. and
545. India Bonds,l,ooo/., Ws. and 535. pron. ;
_ .

ditto under 1,0001., Ws. and 345. prem.
In the foreign stock market the arrangement of
to-morrow's account has engaged a certain amount of
attention. The speculative stocks are generally
flatter, but other kinds have undergone little change.
Me,ican Bonds arc worse, the minces by the Baltic
representing the financial position of the Mexican
government as deteriorating daily. The prices of
business are: Danish Five per Cents., 1021.

AVe understand the Paris and Strasburg line will
be further opened from Vitry to Bar-le-due on the 20th
or 23th of May. The section from Strasburg to
Sarreburg, as we formerly announced, will be worked
by the Strasburg and Bawl Railway immediately on
its completion, and the ratification of the agreement
for this purpose will no doubt take place a the
yearly meeting of the Paris and Strasburg share-
holders in Paris to-morrow. The section front Nancy
to Luneville is likewise nearly ready for opening, so
that little remains to complete a line of communica.
Lion from Havre and Calais through Paris to Stras-
burg and Basel.
The meeting at Paris is looked upon with some
interest, as the question of a loan of 1,000,0011., in-
stead of further calls, will then come on for discus-
sion. Mr. Mires, the proprietor of the Jwirnat des
Chemins di 1:-r, announces that he holds a large

number of proxies in favour of the loan, and a con-
siderable, her have been sent from England.
Hcropoth's Journal contains some excellent sug-
gestions with regard to exhibition and excursion
tickets, which if adopted would have a very benefi-
cial effect. it is proposed that the higher class
tickets shall have a greater privilege, of stay than
the lower class. Thus, if a third-class ticket is goad
for three days, a secund-class would allow the pas-
senger to take five days, and a first-class ticket
seven days. There would consequently be an in-
ducement to take first-class tickets instead of second,
and second-class instead of third. More is to be
done by judicious arrangements of this kind for in-
creasing the Wattle than by mere alterations of prices.
The Great IVestern have been able to charge high
prices, and yet keep a very remunerative traffic by
giving attention to the accommodation of the pas-

sengers.
