MONEY MARKET-THIS' DAY

Two Veto=

The English funds showed renewed flatness
during a part of the morning, but are now firmer,
at a recovery of 3 per out. u compared with
the final range of yesterday. Coned' for
the 7th of February :are marked u low
as 863, and are now quoted 861 to 86,1.
For money, the transactions have been at
653 to 86. The Three per Cents. Reduced have
been dealt in at 86 to 3 ; the New Three per Cents.
at 863 to 3; Bank Stock at 2063 to 207 ; Exchequer
Bills at 6e. to 3e. dis.; India Beads at 7s. to 3e. dia.;
and Exchequer Bonds, at 97 to 3.
Turkish Biz per Cents, have recovered to 803 to 3 ;
Spanish Deferred Three per Cents. are lower, mark-
ing 213 to 3 ex div.; Turkish New Four per Cents.
have been dealt in at 43 to 43 du; Rassian Five
per Cents. at 911 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents.
at 88 ex div. ; Peruvian Four.and-a-Half per Cents.
at 74; Dutch Two-and-a-Hall per Cents. at 63 ; and
Brazilian Old Five per Cents. (small Bonds), at 993
to 3.

It is stated in well-informed quarters that some
definite intelligence Iran Vienna may probably reach
our Government on Sunday or Monday next.

The monthly return of the Bank of France, as
made up to Thursday Met, the 10th of January,
shows the following results (the exchange =imitated
at 25f. to the pound):
Coin and bullion £7,984,400 Decrease £771,600
Bills discounted 17,867,800 Increase 1,161 200
Neer in Ciseulatioa 24,317,600 Ingress, 803,300
Tramway lispeate
Private Mesita 6,227,700 Incases, 693,200
Admen ea French go-
verment secialtlee
Advaesse on railway seen-
rides 1,814,200 Decrease 402,7001
-

The decrease in the coin and bullion fiiiras-a very
unfavourable feature. The last return exibited an
'increase of 294,0001., but this recovery is proved to
have been merely temporary, despite the large quan-
tities of the precious metals purchased by the Bank in
London and elsewhere. Simultaneously with the
decrease in the bullion, the notes in circulation
have considerably augmented. The addition to the
total of bills discounted is large, considering the high
terms exulted by the Bank. The diminution in the
government balances reduces this item to little more
than two millions sterling, and indicates that the
immediate resources of the Treasury are limited.
From the increase in the advances on French
government securities, it must be inferred that the
Bank continues to afford support to the current
bourse speculation. Against this augmentation,
however, must be set the decrease in the advances at
railway securities. Upon the whole, the position of
the Bank is shown to be less strong than at the date
of the previous monthly balance sheet.
The Admiralty have accepted the ships Nortbileet,
Malcolm Brown, and Timandra, for the conveyance
of stores to Hong Kong, Malta, and Constantinople.
The Emigration Commissioners will receive tenders
on the 17th inst. for the hire of a ship, which must
be ready to receive puma:gars, foe conveyance to
Melbourne, between the 26th Feb. and the 3rd of
March.

The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 6th Feb.
for the 'apply of a large quantity of British oak
timber, /tr.
The prospectus is issued of the Recife (Pernam-
buco) and Bea Francisco Railway Company, a sew
IBrasilian line, enjoying a guarantee of i per cent.
from the Brsztlian government, and of an additional
I 2 per cent. from the provincial legislature of Pernam-
buco. This line, 78 miles in length, is projected for
the accommodation of the sugar district. The capital
lie fixed at 1,200,0001., in 80,000 shares, of 201. each,
of which 12,000 shares are reserved for shareholders
in Brazil. The grant, it appears, is in perpetuity,
and the interest is guaranteed for 90 years. The de-
posit is to be 34 per share, and 11. per share is to be
paid on application. Interest at the rata of 7 per
cent. per annum is to be paid to the shareholders
during the eoestruction of the line. The project is
brought forward under highly respectable auspices.

Total

The decrease of 288,2341. in the bullion, and of
443,4761. in the reserve of notes, forms two unfavour-
able features. The increase of 402,2231. in the
government securities must be considered to indicate
the further advance, made by the Bank to the
Treasury on deficiency bills. Notwithstanding these
adenines, the government belanoes have diminished
by 329,3971., although the dividend payments had
not oommenoed. We have here sufficient explana-
tion of the recent heavy sales of stock. During the
week embraced in this return, an instalment of half
• million was paid into the Bank on account of the
Turkish loan: this amounts for the increase of
245,3284. in the private deposit.. The total amount
of the coin and bullion is now rednoed to about ten
and a half millions, and that of the unemployed
notes to five and a half millions. This position of
affairs is not satiatactory.

In the foreign stook market the chief feature wee.
fall in Turkish securities. The Six per Cents. were
marked in the morning 801, and had declined at the
doge t) 791 to 801, being 1 per cent. lower than yes-
terday. The New Four per Cent. Guaranteed Loam
fell 4 per cent., closing at 41 to 4,1 die. In other
stocks there was no material change in price.
The corn market to-day was firm, and purchases
could scarcely be effected at last Monday's rates.
In the foreign exchanges this afternoon the chief
feature was a rise in the rates on Paris, which have
touched 25.80, at three months date. The approach-
ing remittance of a large mass of silver from London
to the Bank of France naturally tends to support
the exchange. Upon most other places the
quotations were also rather higher than those
of last post.

and St. John del Rey at 27t.

In metals, business generally has been very dull
during the week; the accounts received from most
of the foreign markets have been of a nature to pre-
ven t merchants from making shipments. Copper
maintains its price, and is very firm at the quotation.
Manufactured iron is fist, and the makers have been
anxious to obtain orders, and in some oases a redue-
tion in prices has been submitted to. In Scotch pigs
the stocks continue to increase, as the shipments are
small, and the new furnaces lately put in blast pro-
duce much larger quantities than the old ferneries.
Au attempt has been made by speculators to ram
prices by calling up warrants, but the makers having
been ready sellers under the price for warrants, more
iron is going into store. The price for future deli-
very is now lees than for cash lewd hu been little
inquired for, and lower prices have been accepted.
Spelter is without variation ; the stocks here and
abroad are very small, the consumption good, bat
prices do not advance. Tin is very firm, but there is
not much inquiry for it
