MONEY MARKEL-THIS DAY.

Two &Owe'.

Business in the Stock Exchange to-day is almost
suspended, no disposition being shown to operate.
The funds are quoted precisely the same as on Sa-
turday afternoon. In the share markets the spe-
culators evince a desire to wait for the next settle-
ment. Prices in this department are nominally
unaltered, with the exception of au advance in
the shares of the Great Western Railway of Canada.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted
70fr. 30c., being Sc. better than on Saturday.
The new Victoria Six per Cent. Debentures are
steady at 104 to ft, and the scrip of the Brazilian
Loan at It dia. to i prem. The Indian Five per
Cent, stock of 1859 is quoted loci to f. Exchequer
Bills remain flat.

Consols are officially marked 94/, 1, and
for money, and 94 and 1 for the amount. The
present quotations are 94,?, to 3 for cub, and
941 to / for the 9th of May. B►nk Stock has
been dealt in at 225 ; Three per Cents. Reduced,
at 931, A ; New Three per Conte., at 93/,
1, i; New Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 781;
Indian Five per Cent. stock, 1869, at 1061, 1 ;
Five per Cent. " enlaced " rupee paper, at 98/ ;
India Bonds, at tn. dia. ; and Exchequer Bills,
at Bs. and 10s. prem.
The foreign stock market is likewise quiet,
with rather a dull tendency. With the exception
of • decline in Mexican Bond., which
are marked 21/, there is little alteration
in prices. Sales are recorded as follows :
Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1858, 91,
90/ ; ditto, Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1880
(scrip), par ; Chilian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 86 ; Mexican Three per Cents, for
account, 213 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863,
for account, 431 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per
Ceuta., 961 ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account,
831 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 471 ; ditto New
Deferred Three per Cents., for account, NS/ ; the
Committee's Certificates, 43 ; Turkish Six per
Cents., 1858, for account, 811.
The Copenhagen has arrived from Melbourne,
after a long passage, with 157,0001. in gold. The
Illinois and Arabia, from New York, have brought
30,000/. for England, and the Behar, from Lisbon,
3,3761.

We do not remark any change of striking im-
portance in the accounts from the internal seats
of industry. In some quarters business is rather
less active. The tendency to animation has been
somewhat checked by the state of the money
market, combined with the receipt of dull accounts
from India and China. On Saturday, however, a
alight stimulus was given to the market at Man-
chester by the receipt of improved accounts by
letters from Bombay and by telegrams from
Calcutta. The mills are still running full time,
and stocks of most kinds of manufactured goods
are unusually small. Meanwhile it is ob-
served that the cotton market continues
to decline, and shows even a marked
degree of unsteadiness and irregularity in price,
owing to the heavy supply of American produce
which is pressed for sale. At Bradford a steady
business is going forward in woollen and worsted
goods for home consumption, but complaint is
made of the slackness of the demand for exporta-
tion. From Leeds it is reported that the woollen
trade continues steady, but the business trans-
acted is of a less buoyant character than of late,
orders being given out rather more cautiously.
The high price of the raw material has doubt.
less much to do with this. In the other
woollen districts, as well as in the hosiery
and other trades, there is no lack of em-
ployment, and the general state of business is
described as satisfactory, but the immediate move-
ment little exceeds the average. The manufac-
turing interest at Birmingham is in a moderately
favourable position, but the iron trade is less active
than had been anticipated. From Belfast and
Scotland the reports are of a similar character,
indicating a good steady trade, with little specu•
lation.

The imports of the precious metals last week
(irrespective of the silver received from the
Continent) comprised a total of only about
163,0001., of which 129,000/. was from Melbourne,
23,000/. from the United States, and 11,030/. from
Africa.

The report of the directors of the Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company recommends the usual
dividend of 21. per share, free of income tax, for
the six months ending the 31st December last.
The report of the directors of the Sambre and blouse
Railway Company shows a balance of 3,5531., after
paying the preferential charges, out of which they
propose to pay 2s. per share on the original capitaL
Additional capital to the extent of 30,0001. is pro-
posed to be raised, either by the issue of preference'
shares or debentures.
The traffic on the 687 miles of the South Austrian
line of the Lombasdo-Venetian Railway Company
fur the week ending April 7 was 28,8471.,
being 17,1781. less than in the corresponding week
of 1859 on 595 miles ; and that on the Lom-
bardo-Venetian line 3,7171., showing a decrease
of 1,8381. ._. . . . .

A payment of Si. per share, being the second in-
stalment, is to be paid upon the preference shares
in the City of London Brewery Company (Limited)
by the 7th of May. It is intimated that, "the
directors, considering it advantageous to pay the
purchase money for the brewery to the vendors as
early as possible, the holders of preference shares
are at liberty to pay up in advance all or any of
the next two instalments of 51. per share each
(making altogether 20!. per share paid up). Such
payments in advance will bear the preference inte-
rest of 6 per cent. from the time of payment."
The directors of the Tudela and Bilbao Railway
invite tenders for the execution of the section Of
railway from Miranda de Ebro to the junction with
the railway from Zaragoza to Pamplona, a length of
89 English miles.

inquired for. In the miscellaneous share market
no alteration occurred.

The new Victoria debentures were quiet, at 1064
to 4.
rise of about 1 per cent. took place in Victor
Emmanuel Railway Bonds. United States Five per
Cents. wore likewise inquired for and dearer.
The quotations for the shares in new under-
takings were as follow :--Ocean Marine Insurance,
21 to 2i prem. ; Universal Marine, 9-16 to 11-16
' prem. ; ditto, new, 7-16 to prem.; London and
Provincial Marine, 5-16 to prem. ; Bank of Tor•
key, li to of di,.

MINES.-7 HIS DAY

Two o'Cwoi.

tions are officially recorded in the Stock Exchange,
