MONEY MARKST.--(THIS D&1.)

Two °Tux&

There is little business in the stock markets
to-day, but the tendency of prices is rather more
favourable, owing to some steady investments,
chiefly consequent upon the large arrivals of specie
just announced. It is understood that these will be
sent away, yet for the time they will doubtless
prevent any extensive withdrawals from the Bank.
Consols have risen jto I per cent. The demand,
however, is mostly for foreign securities, which
have improved in several instances, the chief
upward movement being in Spanish Passive Bonds
and Greek. English railway stocks and financial
shares are quiet.
The transactions in the discount market con-
tinue upon a rather extensive scale, and the lowest
quotation for bills is 7 per cent. A large amount
of Indian and Australian paper has arrived at
maturity to-day. The rate in the Stock Exchange
for loans from day to day on English government
securities has declined to r, per cent., the supply of
money having increased while the demand has
diminished.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rental opened at
138 fr. 35c., showing no change.
