MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'Ctnck.
11
The English stock market has been quiet to-day,
the business offering being limited to a few money
bargains, and attention being chiefly directed to the
other departments of the Stock Exchange, in which tho
settlement of the account has been in progrc,s.
Prices can scarcely be said to have undergone any
change, but a genanl feeling of flatness has per-
vaded the market, and yesterday?s quotations have
been with difficulty sustained, notwithstanding tho
continued action of the government broker, who
purchased as usual.

Consols have been quoted all day 97 to k for
money, and 971 to 1 fur the lOth of June. The
official report of business is :—Three per Cont. Con
cols, 97, 974; ditto for account, 97 ; Three per
Cent. Reduced, 9GI, 1; Three-and a-Quarter per
Cent. Annuities, 974, ; South Sea Old Annuities,

scriptions, 46a. to 49a. premium. India Bonds, un-
der 1,0001., 535. to 545. premium.
The Foreign Stock Market has also been very
quiet, with scarcely the least business beyond the
adjustment of the account, which does not occupy
any large share of attention on the part of the
dealers. Prices are generally supported, tho
only instance of a perceptible deelino
being Mexican Bonds, which have declined
to 351, and still show a good deal of flatness. To-
day's business list reports bargains in the following
stocks: Brazilian Old Five per Cents., small, 90.

In connexion with the settlement of the fort-
night's account in the railway share market, a de-
faulter has this day been declared in the Stock Ex-
change. The party in question, Mr. James
Colquhoun, has been but a short time in
the house, and his business has usually
been of a very speculative character. Iles
"differences" are understood to be to a rather con-
siderable amount, and to arise out of unsuccessful
speculations for a rise, chiefly in Scotch shares. more
especially iu Aberdeens, Caledonians, and IN.irth
British.
