FRIDAY Xvintnta.

_
The market for the home funds, after the ad-
vance of yesterday, partially fell back to-day, and
showed considerable flatness at one period of the af-
ternoon. At the close of business, however, the
actual decline from yesterday's rates was slight.
The operations throughout the Stock Exchange were
generally unimportant. It would appear that the
stringency of the money market, as might naturally
have been expected, is exercising a depressing in-
fluence on the funds, irrespective of the feeling of
uneasiness maintained in connexion with the still
unsettled Eastern question. The Paris Bourse was
reported by telegraph as closing at a further improve-
ment, but no corresponding effect was produeld
here.

Consols opened this morning 98,1 to 1, improved
for a short time to 981 to 1, but had receded at the
official close to 98 to 1. At 4 o'clock, however, a
rally to 981 to 1 had succeeded. The quotation for
money rued throughout the day almost identical
with that for the Bth Sept. The official business re-
port includes :—Three per Cent. Console, for money,
981, 1, 98 ; ditto, for account, Bth Sept., 981,1.
Three per Cent. Reduced, 99, 981, 1. Three-an -
a-Quarter per Cents., 1011, 1. Long Annuitiee,lB6o,
51, 5 15-16. Bank Stock, 2281.
Exchequer Bills were dull, and last quoted 3s. dia.
to par. ; tut some buyers were accommodated at Is.
dis. India Bonds were again rather lower, at 178. to
20s. prem.
In the foreign stock market, with a quiet business,
prices were very firm, and Mexican, Spanish, Rus-
sian, and Peruvian Deferred were better. Mexican
reached 261 to 271. At 4 o'clock, Mexican Bonds-
were quoted 261 to 27 ; Peruvian Deferred, 58 to
60; Granada Active, 21 to 22 ; ditto, Deferred, 81
to 91; Spanish Deterred Threes, 234 to 2 ; the Cer-
tificates, 61 to 6/ per cent. Sales are thus marked :
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds, 98/ (ex-
change, 25f.). Brazilian Old Five per Center, 1011.
Buenos Ayres Six per Cent. Bonds, 63. Chilian
Three per Cents., 80. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 64/, 1, 65 ; ditto, Four per Cent. Certifi-
cates, 98. Mexican Three per Cents., 261, 27. Peruvian
Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds, 831, 83. Russian
Five per Cents., 1171; ditto Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 102. Spanish Old Three per Cent., 471, 1;
ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 231, 1.
Money to-day was in active demand in the open
market, and the minimum discount rate was 31 per
cent. The tendency of the market seems steadily
upwards, consequent upon the general activity of
trade. As the rate "out of doors has now advanced
to the minimum charge of the Bank of England, it
is to be inferred that the bank, after being so long
shut out of the discount market, will now experience
an 1102611i011 of business.

The remittances of gold to the continent are not
so heavy as of late; but this is solely owing to the
fact that the late Australian supplies have been
exhausted. The demand for France continues
unabated, and, under present circumstances,
any fresh imports of the precious metal would
only remain here long enough to allow of
the melting process being carried through. As we
have before explained, the chief profit on the trans-
mission of gold across the Channel consists in the
silver contained in the gold, the refining process
being carried on in Paris on a large scale, and with
great economy. Californian gold, owing to its con-
taining double the quantity of silver to that existing
in the Australian product, is preferred for remit-
tance; but the quantity of silver contained in Aus-
tralian gold is yet sufficiently considerable to allow
of its exportation at a profit. The gold held by the
Bank of England being " fine gold, is not suited for
remittance in this way ; and, moreover, parties would
have to buy it of the bank at the rate of 31.175. 100.
per ounce, which, uuder present circumstances, would
not leave a profit. The drain on the Bank's stock,
however, continues.
The dividend on the shares of the Paris and Rouen
Railway, for the first half of the present year,
amounting to 26L per share, is now in course of
payment.
In the market for foreign exchanges to-day the
tendency was slightly, but only slightly, more
favourable. Paper on Paris was in less demand at
24.97 if. to 25f. for short, and 25.20 f. to 25.25 f. for
three months. On Amsterdam the rate was unal-
tered. For bills on Hamburg there was rather
more inquiry at 13.61, which was the rate
genet ally paid. Drafts on St. Petersburg were done
at 381 d. Vienna was in demand at 10.55, and
Trieste at 10.57. Bills on Italian places were very
much offered, particularly Leghorn, at 29.85 to 90,
and Genoa at 25.40 to 45.
The prospectus was to-day issued of the Wark-
worth Dock Company, with a capital of 100,0001.
The object is the formation of docks at Warkworth
in connexion with the works of the tidal harbour
already being constructed there under authority of
acts of parliament, and upon which it is stated
183,0001. has already been expended. In accordance
with the ; provisions of an act obtained
in 1851, which authorises the construction of the
dock, the amalgamation of the dock company with
the harbour has been decided on, the dock company
purchasing all the debentures issued for the latter, so
that the harbour tolls and dock dues e ill come into
one fund. Eminent contractors, it is stated, under-

take to construct the works required for 110,0001., of
which 20,0001. will be taken in paid-up shares; and
offer to guarantee, for five years, interest at the rate
of 4 per cent. per annum 0., the shares and deben-
tures, the contractors taking the profits in the
meantime.

Australian Agricultural shares were firmer to-day,
and closed 34 to 33. Van Diemen's Land left off
flatter, at 161 to 17. Other laud shares were quiet.
Scottish Australian Investment were last quoted
to 2 prem. Crystal Palace shares cloud 11 to 1:1
prem. Austinllan Banks were steady. Shares of
the London Chartered Bank of Australia were
rather better, and those of the Bank of India, China,
land Australia, flat. Oriental Bank shares continue

to advance, being well baught. Peninsular and
Oriental Steam shares mark 77 to !. Netherlands
Land were bought at A prem. The shares of the
Great Water Company of France were quoted to
I prem.
I Notice is given that application has been made
for a charter for " The Royal Conical Flour Mill
Company."
The report of tho Netherlands Land Inclosure
Company, just issued, enters into a lengthened set ics
of remarks on the circumstances by which the opera-
tions of the company have been checked, but reite-
rates the confidence of the directors in the success of
the undertaking. It appears that immediately alter
the completion of the first inclmure, in the month of
Februsry last, a storm of unexampled viol, nee
attacked the works and caused a damage, which it
was held impossible to repair until the return of
settled weather in spring. T ne directors had, there-
fore, the mortitiemion of being compelled to leave
open this breach until the month of May,
when a contract was made with experienced

Dutch contractors for its repair, and for
the permanent security of the works. The
directors have now adopted a system, which they
express their confidence will lead to earlier and more
beneficial results. This consists in the construction
of the barrier or causeway from the main land to the
Island of South Beveland, which, whilst serving the
purpose of uniting these two fertile provinces of the
k-ingdom of Holland, will also, by arresting the cur-
rent, cause the waters of the Scheldt to deposit
rapidly on each side of it the rich alluvial matter
they hold in suspension, and which forms the soil of
the fine polders around. The directors have, there-
fore, under the advice of Mr. Bidder, made arrange-
' meats with the contractor, Mr. Fowler, for
the construction of fig important work at
the earliest possible period, and announce
that Mr. Fowler has undertaken to com-
plete both the canal and the barrier for 320,0001.
(being the sum agreed to be paid to the original con-
tractor), with the additional advantage that he in-
cludes in that price the payment of interest to the
shareholders half-yearly at the rate of 4 per cent. per
annum during the period of construction. This in-
terest will commence from the let January last, and
is independent of the profits which may be divisible
from ume to time from the revenue of the land
brought under cultivation. The original capital of
500,9094 it is stated, will be amply sufficient; and,
by raising 260,0001. au d:bentures, it will be unne-
cessary to call up more than 21. per share, making
U. per share paid. The report concludes by stating
" That the extent of about 35,000 acres of land can be
secured in a reasonable time, within the limits of
the concession. The average cost of such enclosure,
including Mr. Fowler's contract, is estimated at lam;
than 201. per acre, and the quality of the land is such
as to ensure its sale at more than double that price."
