MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.

The English stock market presents the same flat
appearance as noticed yesterday, and prices are
quoted at a further decline of 1. fhe contained do-
cream in the bullion in the Bunk, as shown
in last night's returns, excites some degree
of uneasiness, and the chief cause of tho
flatness is to be found in the apprehension of a speedy
application of the screw by the Bank directors
should the downward movement not meet with an
early
.check, as a section of the Bank board is known
Itobe m favour of such a measure. The more satis-
factory appearance presented by the foreign ex-
changes seems to meet with little consideration.
Consuls opened as they left off yesterday, 961 to
97, but speedily declined to their present quotation,
which is 961 to both for money and the 13th of
May. Sales of money stock have lately been mado
by the broker who usually acts fur the Bank of Eng-
land, and, though it does not necessarily follow that
these operations were all on account of that
establishment, it is known that such has been
the case, and it is the general opinion that tho
Bank is preparing for a possible increase in the de-
mand for accommodation. To-day's official report of
business is as follows: Three per Cent. Consols, 97,
961 • ditto for account, 96Z, ; Three per Cent. Re-
duced, 961, 116. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,

The foreign stock market participates to a certain
degree in the prevailing flatness of tone, but prices
are better maintained, though the more speeulativo
descriptions, including Mexicans and Spanish Actives,
mark a shade lower. The business has been chiefly
in the former stock, and on the whole it is very quiet.

from the extreme point of depression is perceptible.
