MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'Cr,oex.
The attendance of dealers in the Stock Exchange
is limited to-day by the inducements held out to
holiday making, nor is it to be expected that
business will acquire any large amount of activity
this week. The business in the home stocks as
entirely for money, not a single bargain for the
account being recorded in the official list up to the
present time. With the renewal of operations
by the government broker, who has re-commenced
his week's purchases as usual, rather more stea-
diness has been imparted to the market, and prices
have been fairly supported at the closing rates of
yesterday.
Consuls for money have not varied from their pre-
sent quotation of 974 to 1, whilst for the 10th of
June they are nominally culled 971 to 4. The official
statement of the due's business is : Three per Cent.
Consols, 971, ; Three per Cents. Itedueed, 981,
; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971, 1, ; Long
Annuities, 1860, 7 5-16,1 ; ditto thirty years, 1860,
74, 9-16th. South Sea Old Annuities, 96. Bank
Stock, 211, 210.
The Exchequer Bill market is rather steadier, but
no rally in prices has occurred. Business is marked in
the 1000/. bills at 435. prem.; ditto 500/., 468., 475.,
435.; ditto small, 435. India Bonds, under 1,0001.,
545. prem. The Exchequer Bills dated in the month
of Tune, 1850, are advertised to be sent in for pay-
ment or renewal on or previous to the sth of ,lure
next. The new hills will be issued on the 13th of
June, and will, of course, bear the same interest, at
the rate of 10. per cent. per day.
The foreign stock market is generally firm, though
without any extensive range of transactions. Mexi-
can Bonds receded to 341 yesterday afternoon, but
have to-day been steadier. Chilian Six per Cents.
have also attained a better figure, the operations
of the sinking fund exercising a favourable influence
by making the stock scarcer. Peruvian bonds are
still looking down. To-day's business list comprises;
Belgian Four-and-a-half per Cents., 92. Brazilian
Old Five per Cents., small bonds, 89. Chaim
Six per Cents., 1001. Danish Five per Cents.,

Saturday's letters front Antwerp mention a little
weakness in the home stork market, in consinuence
of the news of the dissolution of the ministry. Aus-
trian stocks were also worse, whilst Spanish were in
brisk demand. Prices are quoted :-Belgian Two-
and-a-Hall per Cents., 491; ditto Four-and-a• Half
per Cents., 911; ditto Five per Cents., 181 s, 971 to

Ardoin Loan, 15, ; ditto Inland Three per ('ruts., 35

in the national stocks, with little doing in them.

a decline. Austrian, which had risen, were also
