MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o Clock.--The market is better supplied with
money stock this morning, fur which the demand,
moreover, has slackened on the part of the public.
Political and other circumstances come now
more into play, and depress prices. Consols
opened, and tor some time remained, at 82 to t,
both for money and account, so that the back-
wardation in favour of monty stock, which has ruled
for some time, no longer exists. They have since
beta as low us 811 to but are now 811 toy for
time and money. Reduced Threes are 801 to 1.
Three-and-a,Quarter per Cents., 811 to 11. Exchequsr
Bills, 425. to 455. premium. Bank Stock, 187 to 9.
The accounts frum Madrid represent the commer.oe-
ment or an extraordinary state 01 financial confusion
through the country. Merchants and bankers in the
provinces hod advised their correspondents in the
capital to suspend all commercial transactions on their
account. Bank notes had fallen to 12 per cent. dis-
count. There can be little doubt now that the sudden
fall of 2 per cent. in Spanish Bonds yesterday
was not occasioned by the Palmerston-Sotomayor
correspoudence, but by extensive sales of bonds
by parties who were in possession yesterday
of the unfavourable intelligence now become
public. Spanish Fives are now quoted 11 to
I ; the Threes, 21 to ; Passive, 21 to 3. Portuguese,
141 to 151. Mexican, 141 to 15. Peruvian, 29 to
31. Brazilian, 63 to 7. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 39 to 41 ; the Fours, 58 to 60. Belgian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 50 to 5.
The Belgian Chamber of Representatives have de-
finitively voted the government project of loan, but
two supplementary regulations were subsequently
brought forward for discussion, for authorising the
conversion of the loan receipts into treasury bonds
of 1,000, 20 and 10 francs each, to be made
available as notes payable to bearer. The articles
and conditions of the loan-law project are extremely
complex, but, substantially, the securities for the pay-
ment of interest, and reimbursement, arc based upon
the land tax and personal tax of the present financial
year; the annual product of the retiree and capitals
advanced on loan (to corporations and individuals it
may be supposed), guaranteed by a conventional mort-
gage ; and on a tax upon a certain scale upon all the
pensions and salaries paid by the state to public
functionaries.
