MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAL)

Two o'CLoor.
The stock markets to-day are firm. The funds
are quoted at a further improvement of 1-16 to if
per cent. There is a slight upward movement in
English railways and io some foreign stocks.
Business generally, however, is very languid.
Turkish Loan scrip is firmer, at 2I to 21 prem.
Egyptian is quoted 21 to 3 prem., and Russian, to

prem.
Consols are officially marked 931 and 1,
cum div., for money, and 921, ex div., for
the account. The present quotations are
931 to 1, cum div., for cash, and 92} to 1, ex
div., for the 10th of June. The official business
report is as follows :—Three per Cents. Reduced,
91*, ; New Three per Cents., 911, 1, ; India
Five per Cent. Stock, 109, 1 ; Five per Cent.
" eat/38d" rupee paper, 1031 ; Exchequer Bills,
145., 17a. prem.
Foreign stocks, including Turkish, Mexican,
Italian, and Spanish Certificates, are firm, and in
some instances slightly dearer. The Turkish Loan
of 1854 is quoted 801 to 1, and that of 1858, 70}
to 1. Transactions are recorded as follows :
Equador New Consolidated, 18, }, ex div. ; Egyp-
tian Seven per Cents., 11, 2 prem. ; Italian Five

An instalment of 10 per cent., making 30 per
cent. paid, fell due yesterday on the Turkish Loan.
In addition to the instalment, 850,0001. stock was
yesterday paid up in full, makings total of 5,150,0001.
so dealt with. The instalments that have yet to
be met represent 38 per cent., which, on the ba-
lance of 2,850,000/. of stock, leaves 1,083,0001. as
the total cash to which the market is still liable

in respect of this loan of 8,000,0001. stock. Ac-
cording to the terms of the prospectus a period of
seven and a half months is allowed for the pay-
ment of this sum. In scarcely any instance on
record has a loan been liquidated with equal facility.
It must not be forgotten, however, that, although the
liability of the subscribers is thus reduced, a com-
paratively small portion of the proceeds of the loan
has yet left the country.
By &dykes from Paris, it appears that the Rus-
Rim Loan would yesterday begin to be quoted on
the Bourse for the account.
The particulars are published of Bonds repre-
senting 56,3001. of the Turkish Guaranteed Four
per Cent. Loan of 1856, which have been drawn
for redemption, and will be payable at the Bank of
England on the Ist of August next.
The half-yearly interest is advertised on the
Sardinian Five per Cent. Loan.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank yes-
terday. The Norfolk has arrived from Melbourne
with 130,0001. in gold, the Donald M'Kay with
55,0001., and the Prince of Wales with 39,0001.,
making in all 224,0001. Some portion of this ,
amount may be sent into the Bank, the inquiry for
the Continent being less active.
The amount of Australian gold known to be still
at sea is 401,5001.
The Liverpool cotton market continues to be
influenced by an idea that a termination of the civil
strife in Ameria, is not far distant. The tone
yesterday was very heavy, and prices were quoted
fully id. per lb. lower than on Friday. The trans-
actions were limited to 2,000 bales.
The Eastern Counties Railway traffic return
shows this week an increase of 2,7181. ; the Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, a decrease of
1,9711. • the North Eastern, a decrease of 2,5021. ;
the Midland, an increase of 5311. ; and the London
and South Western, an increase of 1,2991.
The first general meeting of the Malta and Medi-
terranean Gas Company is called for the 29th inst.,
when the directors will recommend a dividend.
A call of 751.. per share is ordered by the Court
of Chancery to be paid by the contributories of the
Ricca Coal and Iron Company by the 14th of June.
A remarkable illustration of banking success was
shown yesterday in the fact that the shares of the
National Provincial Bank of England, with 421.
' paid, were dealt in at 150.
The Abeona has arrived from China with
341,50011 e. of tea.
The following is Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and
Co.'s report of yesterday's hide sales :
At the ninth eerie of hide sales for the year a very
limited demand was experienced for both dry and malted
bides, and prior generally must be quoted lower.
East India.—Ox and Cow.—Calcutta.--The quantity
brought forward was moderate, about half sold. Both the
exporters and home trade, particularly the latter, bought
sparingly, sod we have to DOW • docile° et id. to 4d. per
lb. epos all descriptions, ezoept upon one or two parcels of
dead Dacca hides of clean cure, which were well competed
for, and realized full prices. Madras, Bombay. len, were
neglected. Btunechess and Peoang sold well. The analysis
of the sales is 111,920 Calcutta, new parcels, 50,780 brought
forward from former males, and 8,833 Madras, Bombay, kc.,
in all 171,533 bidet, of which 90,832 were sold.
East India.—Buffalo were very doll. The bulk was
bought in, those sold barely maintaining late prices..
Leather.—Fast Indian ;All passed. Australian sold at
late rates ; the heavier avenges briogiog the maximum
quotation.
Salted Hides.—Austadian ; Although holders were dis-
posed to meet the market, only • limited demand was ex-
perienced, at late prices to a decline of id. to N. per lb.
upon heavy. Cape were id. lower. New York sold well.
- West Indian sold at easy prices.
_ Dry and Dryselted Hides—Dry: Buenos Ayres and Mout*
Video were all bought in, excepting a few anted lots of
seconds sod damaged. Rio Grande ; A few of the light and
second class only sold. Wait Coast The sales were chiefly

qualities in proportion. Cape add fairly. Drysalted—
The bulk bought in. ILauritius : Nearly all bought
in. Brined—Egyptian passed-
Bark.—Mimosa : Part sold at late rats.
Hide Cuttings brought fair prima
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending May 14, compared with that for the pre-
vious week, shows the following changes :
Circulation einte
Circulation active
Public deposits 6,301,683 Decrease 1,199,308

This return shows the effect of the recent demands
in connexion with foreign loans. Were the pres-
sure upon the Bank to continue the rate would cer-
tainly be raised. The stook of securities in which
the means of the establishment are invested, how-
ever, is really but little larger than last week, the
government having repaid a heavy sum to the
honk.

the intelligence published in the journals, but
closed at 311 to #, being the same as yesterday. In

recovered this afternoon to 81 to f, being Ito #
. higher than yesterday.
