MONEY MARKET.-(TRIS Ain

Two o'Osnoi.
The stock markets to-day are inanimate. Spe-
culation is checked by the heat of the weather and
by the decrease in the specie and reserve shown in the
Bank return. The funds have fallen I per cant.
Nearly all other securities remain at yesterday's
quotations. The stocks of two or three of the chief
home railways are rather lower.
There is a good demand for money to-day, bills
which had been kept back on the chance of
a reduction in the official rate being now
brought forward, and the Bank return published
this morning being regarded as somewhat unfavour-
able. The general charge for the best short-dated
paper is now 31 to 4 per cent., transactions at 31
being exceptional. In the Stock Exchange the
supply of money has considerably diminished,
lowing to withdrawals in connexion with the railway
dividends and the harvest, and the quotation for
loans =English government securities has advanced
to 3 to 31 per cent.
At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter'a tele-
gram, the Three per Cent. Rent= opened at
69fr. 400., being about 1.16 per cent, higher than
yesterday.
The weekly return of the Bank of France shows
this week an increase of 190,0001. in the coin and
bullion, and a decrease of 2,080,0001. in the bills

sent quotations are subjoined, viz.: - Greek,
201 to 21; Turkish Consolidds, 49 to ;

An extraordinary general meeting of the share-
holders of the London and Colonial Bank was held

I up the company was confirmed, and Mr. William
Tnrquand was appointed liquidator.
• special meeting of the shareholders of the
Mercantile sad Exchange Bank (Limited) is called
for the 16th Sept., at Liverpool, "for the purpose
of confirming certain resolutions, unanimously
at a meeting held on the 21st day of August
t, for giving power to the directors to alter the
agreement between this bank and the London Bank
of Scotland (Limited), as relates to the allotment
of 22,000 shares of this bank to the shareholders
and directors of the London Bank of Scotland
(Limited), by limiting the allotment to 10,000 shares
instead of 22,000 shares, and otherwise, as in such
resolutions mentioned."
The transfer books of the Millwall Freehold Land
and Dock Company are to be closed from the 18th

The half-yearly meeting of the Tamar, Kitt Hill,

The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, Sept. 6, compared with that
for the previous week, shows the following changes :
Circulation ente

A steady demand for moueyin commercial cicalas
is indicated by the withdrawal of 284,0391. of pri-
vate deposits, combined with the increase of
108,6201. in the private securities. As the govern-
ment deposits have at the same time declined
109,0751., the reserve has been trenched upon
to the extent of 271,0121. The coin and bullion
have at the same time declined 167,3371., although
the Bank gained 135,0001. on the movement of im-
ported gold for the week. This apparent contra-
diction is explained by the fact of large amounts of
coin having been withdrawn for agricultural pay-
ments at this season. They will flow back later.
The large increase of 231.,0701. in the "rest" con-
firms what was stated in this column a few days
ago with regard to the custom of the Bank not to
strike the balance of profit on some of its largest
transactions until the last day of its financial half
year. The holders of Bank stuck, therefore, need
not make themselves anxious at the inference put
forward in some quarters that their half-yearly
dividend will be limited to 3* or 3k per cent.
