MONEY MARKET,--(THI8 DAY).

Twe o'Orocu.
The stock markets to-day are firmer, a hopeful
view being still taken of the future course of the
money market. There will be no activity until
tomorrow's weekly court at tbellank has passed over,
and the Bank return been published, but, meanwhile,
the funds have rieenl per cent. ,and a fractional im-
provement is observable in some other securities,
including certain of the foreign stooks and home
railways. In the latter department Metropolitan
stock continues to show chief buoyancy.
In the discount market there is a large amount of
money seeking employment, and few bills offering.
An increased number of transactions are, therefore,
reported at 7 per cent. Short loans on English go-
vernment securities are in demand in the Stock
Exchange, and the rate is firmer, at 61 to 7 per
cent., in consequence of a large sum recently
advanced on stock, being repaid to the Bank.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Renter's tele-

Consols are quoted 881 to 4 for money, and 894
for the account, being slightly flatter in the latter
instance compared with the quotation current at
2 o'clock. About 68,0001. in gold has been sent
into the Bank.
In view of the favourable tendency of the
bullion movement and of the exchanges, the
hope is becomiog more general that the Bank of
England will not deem it necessary to make any
further advance in its rate of discount. Business
in the Stock Exchange, however, is kept within a
narrow compass, the majority of the speculators
being disposed to wait for the appearance of the
next Bank return, which will probably throw fresh
light upon the monetary situation.
The remittances of silver to Bombay by the
steamer which will leave Southampton to-morrow

The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
generally higher-i.e., more in favour of this
