MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoci.

The funds remain dull, at the late decline. All
tendency to recovery is repressed by the wet
weather. The other markets are heavy, with as
unfavourable tendency. Most of the principal
English railways have given way. A prominent
feature is the continued fall in all kinds of Turkish
securities.

At Paris, this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at
Mr. 95c., being the same as the closing price oz
Wednesday.

About 6,0001. in gold was bought by the Bank yes-
terday. The outgoing steamer for the West Indies,
to leave on the 17th, will take about 420,0001. on
account of the new Peruvian Loan. This amount
consists of Australian gold, which otherwise would
have been sent into the Bank, the present level of
the exchanges not allowing a profit on the exporta-
tion of gold to Pie Continent.
The steamer New York bas brought 22,0001. is
specie for 'England.
The bar silver by the West India packet has
been sold at ss. lid. per ounce, showing a rise of id.,
compared with the price obtained for the previous
supply. The advance is caused by an increased
demand for Bombay, principally in connexion with
purchases of cotton at that port, while at the same
time the supply of government bills here is insuffi-
cient. Mexican dollars meet with a moderate
inquiry for China.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
qtioted much the lame as on Tuesday. Then
