MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two r'cLous.

The fund' opened steadily this morning, but
milers came forward, and, disquieting rumours
being circulated with reference to our rela-
tions with Fraaoe, a fall of 1 to 1 per cent.
ensued. Some influential purchases of French rail-
way shares were then effected, and a rumour was
circulated that the French funds were quoted at a
slight improvement at Paris this morning prior to
the regular opening of the Bonne. This
intelligence is confirmed by the receipt of t',o first
official prices from the Bourse, and Consols
have consequently recovered to the closing quotation
of yesterday. The government broker has made
another small purchase.
Consols for the Bth May opened 961 to a, re-
ceded to 961, and are now quoted 961 " buyers."
For money the present quotation is 961
" buyers. " The Three per Cents. Reduced
have been dealt in at 951 to 1; the New
Three per Cents., 951 to 931; Bank Stock at
220 to 2211 ; Exchequer BiW, at 341. to 375.
prem.; and Exchequer Bonds, falling payable
next month, at 991.
The New Indian Loan is steady at 994 to 100.
Turkish Six per Cents. remain steady, at 971 to
ex div. Venezuelan Bonds continue to meet
with some business at the recent ad-
vance. Spanish, Russian, Sardinian, and
Mexican Bonds are in moderate request.
Sales are recorded as follows:—Mexican Three per
Cents., 20; ditto, for account, 20; Peruvian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 811; ditto,
Three per Cents., 561; ditto Four-and-a-Half
per Cent. Dollar Bonds, 661 (exchange, 45.) ;
Russian Five per Cents,llo; ditto Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. 101 ; Sardinian Five per Cents, 911 ;
Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents. for account
261, 261; Swedish Four per Cents. 81; Turkish
Six per Cents. 974, ex div.; ditto for
account (April 30), 971, ex div.; ditto, Guaranteed
Four per Cents., 1041 ; Venezuela Four-and-Three-
Quarters per Cents., for account, 35, 351; ditto De.
ferred Two per Cents., 131.
At Paris to-day (Wednesday) according to Mr.
Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 69.25 for the account, and at half-put
one o'clock were quoted 69.20, showing an improve-
ment of sc. compared with the closing quotation of
yesterday.
The ships Derwent and Anglesey have arrived
from Melbourne, the former with 12,800 ounces
of gold, and the latter with 6,811 ounces,
making together a total of about 78,4001,
A telegram from Liverpool also mentions the
arrival of the Albion, from Melbourne, with
8,828 ounces, valued at 35,3001., but some doubt is
expressed as to the accuracy of this intelligence.
The Armenian, from the West Coast of Africa,
has brought about 23,0001.
Much satisfaction is expressed at the announcement
that the income tax is to be allowed to lapse, and
that the estimated deficiency for the financial year,
1858-9, is only four millions. To gain an accurate
idea of the state of the public finances it must be
borne in mind that three millions and a half of this
amount is accounted for by proposed reductions of
the national debt. To Mr. Disraeli's proposal to issue
a fresh series of two millions of Exchequer Bonds,
in lien of those which fall payable next month, not
an objection is raised. The points in his finan-
cial scheme to which objections are raised
are the contemplated waiving of the invest-
ment of 1,500,0001. per annum on account of
the war loans, and the proposed stamp upon bankers'
cheques. Upon the former point it is urged that the
nation has deliberately entered into certain engage-
ments which affect the interests of its creditors, and
that those engagements ought to be strictly carried
out. It is very well for the nation to say that it
has no immediate means wherewith to cancel the
stipulated amount of stock ; but this does not in any
way impair its obligation to comply with the strict
letter of the terms on which the War Loans
were raised. Holden of Consols have been under
the impression, derived from the explicit provisions
of acts of parliament, that a million and a half of
stock was to be annually purchased and cancelled.
Can this obligation be fairly repudiated ?
The proposal to impose a stamp upon bankers'
cheques seems likely to meet with strenuous oppo-
'Won on the part of the banking and commercial
classes, upon whom the tax will almost exclusively
fall. It is urged that to impose any obstacle,
however alight, to the general disposition to eco-
nomise the circulating medium, is impolitic in
the extreme. When mooted by one of his pre-
decessors the proposal excited so much opposition
that its withdrawal became necessary, and the same
may be the ease upon the present occasion, the more
especully as the 300,0001. which it is proposed to
ruse by this means is to be merely held by way of a
" margui."
The gold sent into the Bank yesterday comprised
the sovereigns ex the Medway, from the Brazils,which
amounted to about one-half of the total of 410,0001.
Between 2,0001. and 3,0001. in Russian gold coin
was also sent in.

In the discount market and at the Bank the de-
mand for money continues quiet. The current rate*
for first-class bills " out of doors " are 21 to 21 per
cent. We hear of several cases in which bankers
and other money dealers refuse to take deposits at 2
per cent. for one month certain, and of others in
which the depositor has to concede a fixed period of
two months. This shows the tendency of the
market _ _ .

Owing to the favourable movement of the ex-
change at New York on London, the steamer Van-
derbilt has brought 71,7001. io specie.
The foreign gold coin ex the steamer Medway,
representing a large total, was taken yesterday for the
Continent. The prices Bled were as follows : Bra-
zilian gold coin, 775. 7d. per ounce ; Portuguese
gold coin, 775. sd. per ounce ; and South American
doubloons, 745. per ounce.
On 'Change yesterday bills on Holland were in-
quired for, and were quoted slightly lower. As regards
other Continental places the rates remain steady.

Mr. Disraeli's financial statement has been fol-
lowed by a favourable movement in the stock
markets. Notwithstanding; the continued and ex-
treme heaviness of the Paris Bourse, the funds this
morning at ained a rise of per cent. A partial
reaction ensued, but the closing quotations were still
1 per cent. above thoie of yesterday. In the other
departments of the Stock Exchange rather more
' confidence was likewise displayed. For a lcmg
period the anticipation of the Indian loan had
weighed upon the market ; the facility with which
this operation was carried through proved that
an exaggerated idea was entertained of its im-
portance, considering the present state of the
money market. Apprehensions of a large defi-
ciency in the revenue have since operated as a
check, but are now dispelled with equal facility.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 96 11-16 to f
for the 6th of May, opened this morning
about 963, advanced to 963 to 97, re-
ceded to 963, " sellers, " and closed at
963 to For money the last price was
963 to 3. The official business report is as follows:
Three per Cent. Consols, for mone,i, 961, I, 1, It
