MONEY MARKET-THIS DA F.

Two °Two&

The funds have been a shade flatter this morning,
bat the decline did not exceed I per cent., and prices
have since returned to the closing quotations
of yesterday. Commis were first marked
941 ex div. foe the 10th July, and are now
quoted 941 to 1. The Three per Cents. Reduced
have been dealt in at 911 to lt; the New Three
per Cents. at 941 to 951; Consols scrip at 3e. prem.;
Exchequer Bills at 9s. to 12.. prem.; and India
Bonds at lls, to 14s. prem The New Loan is
qouted 21 to 31 prem.

- - .
Turkish stocks are about per cent. lower than
they closed yesterday, the Six per Cents. being
quoted 101 i to 102; ; and the Four per Cents.,
. .

104 i to 1..

Other foreign eeenrities are

inanimate. The riles include Mexicln at
221 for the 30th instant; Portuguese Four p
Cents. (ex all ort.rdne Coupons), at 48; Spanish Old
Three per Cents., for 30th inst., at 47; ditto De-
ferred, at 25: ; and the Committee's Certifs., at 64 to
6j per Cent. . _

The Morning Star hu orriv(a from Melbourne
with 60,827 oz. of gold and 10,000 sovereigns or
freight; and the Medway with 38,686 oz. and 500
sovereigos—making an aggregate of ab3ut 408 5001.
Including 162,043 dollars brought in by the Baltic,
from Nrw York. yesterday's arrivals represent a total
value of 441,0001.
As was anticipated, the shipments of silver by the
Avg, which leave Southampton tc day for Alex-
andria, show an important diminution. The total
remittances by this vessel ate only 190234!., of
which 10,0001. is gold and the rest silver. The
shipments by the three last steamers of this route
were 489,6861., 539,2421., and 6432021. respectively.
Should future remittances be upon the present re-
duoed scale, additional grounds will be afforded for
the exp:Mation of an early improvement in the
money market. The destination of the supplies by
the Ava is shown below—via., for Alexandria, gold,
10,0001. ; for Bombay, silver, 54,8651.; for Madras,
silver, 6.7621. ; and for Calcutta, silver, 118,6171.

The Winding-up Courts continue to meet with
considerable business in connexion with abortive
life assurance projects. Acootding to a notioe just
kilted, creditors of the Cosmopolitan Life Annuaire.
Company are required to prove their claims before the
' Mar 1r of the Rolls, who will adjudicate upon them
on the 14th of July. An official manager of this de-1
lona company is to be appointed on the 23rd inst.
Sundry of the younger assurance companies eon-
Vault to evince anxiety to strengthen their position
by means of amalgamation. Notices are put forward,
severally, by the Medical, Legal, and General Ma-
teal Lite Assurance So irty, and t.y the New Equi-
table Life Assurance Company, stating that these two
companies are to be amalgamated. General meetings
of the members and shareholders are to be specially
convened to ratify the proposal. It is at the same
time intimated that "negotiations with other (Aces
are also pending." We presume that the chief benefit
derivable from arrangements of this nature will con-
sist of a reduction of salaries and other expenditure.
Should any number of embarrassed companies effect
• fusion, it is obvious that • mere amalgamation
would not sfford them any direct pecuniary re.ief.
The East India Company will receive tenders on
the 2nd of July for the conveyance of stores from
Liverpool to Kurrschse.

THCRIDAT EVENING.
The fonds retain great firmness, but met with only
a limited business to-day. In the morning an ad-
vsnoe of 1 per cent. was temporarily attained, but
the closing quotations were the same as those or yes-
terday. In some other departments of the Stock
Exchange there was a little disposition to rein.*
the profits accruing from the late rise, bet confidence
in the future of the money market seems to be the
prevailing feeling. The steady influx of gold is
regarded with satisfaction.
The closing quotations of the Paris bourse failed to
come to hand this afternoon. The Three per Cant.
Itentes opened this morning at 71.10 tor account, and
were subsequently quoted 71.16, being still a shade
lower than the final rates of yesterday. The tendency
towards recovery is kept in check by the continued
emberrasements of numerous weak operators for
higher prices. Many of these parties prove defaulters
from day to day, and their accounts are required to
be forcibly closed. When this process of weeding
shall have been completed for the time, the hoarse
may pet haps assume • firmer position. It must not
be forgotten that the satisfactory state of monetary
affairs in England is calculated to reset bene-
ficially upon the bourse. Capital will be attracted
from this market, when lower rates are in process of
establishment, to the Paris bootee, where loins are
in eager request upon exorbitant terms. In this
way the speculative tendencies of the French market
may, perhaps, be fostered until they attain such a
-.tram* extension as will render our capitalists timid
of affording further assistance.
Consols attained 943 to 3 this morning, but left off
at yesterday's closing quotation of 941 to! ex die. for
the 10th of July. The official business report is as fol-
lows :—Thrse par Cent. Consols, for account, 10th
July, 944., 1, I ex die. Three per Cent. Reduced,
941, 1. New Three per Cents., 94, 951, 96. Loug
Annuities, expiring in Jan., 1860, 3 6.16. Bank
Stock, 217, 218. Three-andm-Half per Cent. Ex-
chequer Bonds, falling payable in 1858 and 1859,
991. Consol Scrip (New Loan), 31, 3 prem.
The strip of the New Loan was last quoted 21
to 31 prem.
Exchequer Bills attained a farther rise of Is. to 25.,
closing at 9s. to 13e. prem. As the rates of money
decliae, these securities may be expected to meet
with increased favour, the rate of interest being fixed
at 21d. per cent. per day (equal to 31. 113 s. per cent.
per annum) until March and June next year. India
Bonds were dealt in at 10.. to 131. prem. Exchequer
Bonds remain steady, at 991 to 1.
In the foreign stock market Turkish Bonds continue
to engage chief attention. Tee Six per Cents.
touched 1021, and closed 1 to a per cent. higher than
yesterday, at 102 to 1. The Guaranteed Four per
Cents. left off at 1041 to 1, being the same as yester-
day, after being marked as high as 105. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents, were quoted 1 per
cent. better. Mexican and Spanish Bonds met
with some inquiry. All other securities in this de-
partment were well supported.
Royal Swedish Railway securities were in demand
today. The 61. shares closed at 1 to 11; the 41.
bonds, at 2 to 21 ; and the new Seven per Cenr.
Preference shares, at par to 1 prem. It is presumed
that in the event of the shareholders not taking up
the whole of the new stock, the residue will be offered
to the general public, as otherwise the interests of
the penpral body of proprietors will be sacrificed to
the obligation holders.
The late advance in thesharee of the new booking
companies is well supported. Ottoman Beak closed
today at If to 2 peens ; Bank of Egypt, at 1 to
prem.; National Diseonot, at sto prem.; and
Western Bank of Diadem at e to 11 press. The
shares of the General Bank of Switzerland were
quoted 1 die. to par. London and Cmoty Bank
stook is marked 321 to 33. Canada Land and Nether-
lac& Land shares were more inquired for. Crystal
Palace Preference shares were also better, owing to
the satisfactory attendance at the Palace yesterday.
Victoria Dock stock, old and new, has advanced to 1
to 11 prem. General Screw Stem shame were dealt
in at 141 ; North of Europe Steam at 131 to 1; and
Victoria Government Six per Cents. at 1091. The
Acadian Iron Compeny's shares were uoted Ito 1
prem.; Chartered Colonial Fibre, par tot prem.; and
English Fibre and Paper Manufacturing, par to 5
prem.
The position of the market for Ameriesn securities
is thus notieed by Messrs. 1/. Bell, Soo, and Co.:
